Let's be real—no one likes throwing money away. But every time you toss a plastic snack bag, rip off another paper towel, or reach for that roll of plastic wrap, that's exactly what you're doing. With prices rising on just about everything (it's not just eggs!), now is the perfect time to break up with single-use products and start saving money with reusables.
The Shocking Cost of Single-Use Products
Sure, they seem cheap at checkout, but those "just a few bucks" purchases add up fast. Check this out:
-
Plastic Snack Bags: The average family goes through 500 plastic bags a year, costing around $20 annually. – The Spectrum, North Dakota State University (source)
-
Paper Towels: Americans spend about $114 per year on disposable paper products, and the average person uses 80 rolls of paper towels annually—that’s about $80 per person. – Statista (source), – The Spectrum, North Dakota State University (source)
-
Plastic Wrap: Harder to track exact spending, but between this and foil, we all know that stuff runs out way too fast!
-
Tissues/Toilet Paper: Over a lifetime, people spend nearly $9,500 on disposable tissues. Yes, you read that right. NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS. – New York Post (source)
