Grease from bacon and ground beef is the majority of the use (about once a week each, and maybe 3-5 towels each time). We bought a case of 12 rolls of paper towels before we moved to Spain in 2004.....we lived there 19months, and then lived in GA from Dec 05 until last month, when I used the last roll from that pack of 12. So.....from May 2004-March 2009, we used a total of 12 rolls of paper towels. We have about 15 dish towels. 3 are designated for clean dishes only (the dishwasher doesn't dry them well, and these towels are dark green). 4 are designated as hand only towels (they are decorative compared to the others), and the rest are for cleaning up spills, messes (which we have lots of with a 3yr old here), and general kitchen cleaning purposes. Our laundry room is attached to the kitchen, so its convenient to just drop them in the washer! I love paper towels for what we need them for, but we don't need them for much!
