Sonja, if you are in North America, would you tell us the brand name and price on these high quality paper napkins? I'm sceptical that they are cheaper than cloth napkins. I have some calico napkins that are thirty years old now. Whatever price I might have paid, I think it would come out way ahead of buying paper. In fact, though, I got these napkins second hand and free. Other napkins have been sewn from men's shirts and scraps of fabric. Some nicer white linen ones for special occasion tables I have purchased. Some huge ones were 25 cents each at Big Lots. They double as kitchen towels. A pack of colorful dishcloths are also used as napkins, especially when we are serving something messy. Inexpensive, and cute as they match my favorite table cloth.

I flat out think cloth makes a nicer napkin than paper, though there are some pretty good paper ones. But the price? Nah, I don't think I want to spring for them.
