| Donna, in a pinch, you could probably make your own from tea-towels (which also make easy washable place-mats too )

| Years ago when having Chinese food at a friend's house they brought out the small terry cloth guest towels to use as napkins (we were eating alot of finger foods) they worked so well on the sticky food that I've continued using them when having anything really sticky like ribs. I keep a wicker basket with cloth napkins on my table at home and just throw the used ones in the kitchen hamper with the dish cloths and tea towels.

| I am doing pretty good with this challenge. I still have paper towels that were purchased almost 4 weeks ago. I have cloth napkins at each place setting with a pretty napkin ring and my napkin holder has several cloth napkins folded in it.
