Try Using Recycled Paper Towels
March 29th, 2009 | 
Author: I have used several brands of Recycled paper towels and to me the best is Trader Joe’s. For one they are 2 play and the roll is pretty thick. It soaks up liquids pretty good too. It doesn’t leave any lint behind when I use it. You get 3 large rolls for $3.99. I bought one time Marcal and I got a lot of rolls for almost $20 bucks but the rolls are small, one ply and its easy to go through them quickly. Now the Marcal paper towels I used was several months ago. I recenlty went to their website and they seem to be making new and improved products. I will have to give them a try, maybe I will get a better deal. And of course I will post this.
