We waste money on tissue and napkins. It pleases me to know that irritates somebody.

Dishwasher/washing machine detergent pods.

May I ask why you feel this way? They are so more efficient in comparison to wasteful plastic bottles.

Well toilet paper, my BIL buys that single ply, read a newspaper through it, suitable-for-gas-station-crappers, brand. How do you save on it when you use 3x as much wadding it up for a wipe so its thick enough your finger doesn't go up your....

There are ways to conserve TP though:

They tax food here, technically against NC constitution so they make it a temporary tax they keep renewing.
Been 25 years now of taxing maybe longer. They will never stop the greedy bastards.

Biggest waste is any sincle serve item, sodas, chips, cookies, whatever.
