Saving/Spending on the road?

paper bowels?

Are they at least dixie or hefty? You don't want a mess if they tear open when holding something other than edible items.

 

I was gonna say somethin' but I left it be, lol.

 

With all the napkins at truck stops, why ever buy paper towels? I bring a big package of toilet paper for those random, middle of freaken no where problems, but I never buy any types of paper products at a truck stop.

Most food items come in packaging you can eat out of. Besides, you can always use reusable dishes, and wash them in the truck stop, or just wipe them down with wet wipes. Ahhh, the wet wipe... No trucker is prepared without them things. lol

 

I buy these in bulk on Google Shopping. 12 packs of 5 for less than $15 usually including shipping.

 

Yeah, good point. I have a sturdy plastic plate and dish with a steel perring knife, spoon and fork. A $2 container of disinfectant wipes keeps em in good shape.

But think about it man, $15? A $2 roll of tinfoil that does the same job (except you have to form it to the oven interior), has lasted me Months! Maybe I'm just a cheapskate like that...

 

Squeezing as much air possible outta the bag before sealing it up (with anything for that matter), really helps it stays fresh longer.
I keep my croutons separate tho.
