Joan.of.the.Arch, sorry for not answering you at once.

Of course, when it comes to high-quality paper napkins, when they are 3-ply, or even 4-ply napkins, when they are imprinted, specially customized or personalized, they can be rather expensive for everyday use. And, I would agree, a set of durable linens is more practical. But when we use plain paper napkins (even made from brown, unbleached paper), we can just dispose of them and really save on washing. Definitely, we can save time. And, as they say, time is money

My cloth napkins don't really add to my laundry time.
As soon as they are dirty I drop them in the empty washer, they get cleaned with whatever is next load.

We do the same. The last few times I bough the cheap paper napkins, the kids went through the entire package in 2 days. They were even using them to clean mud off their shoes.....when normally they would have used a rag.
