I always eat off of paper plates instead of regular plates because you don't have to worry about washing dishes. You can just throw the plate away. Anyone Else?

not i. we use styrofoam plates.

Well I guess a plate you don't have to wash. That's what I should have said.

We do, sometimes. Right now I'm eating a poptart on a styrofoam plate. :)

yup i use paper plates all the time. we have the plastic things that u sit them on so that they dont wobble all over the place.

No,I use regular plates.

Half of the time we use regular plates, and the other half we use paper/styrofoam plates :p

Me too. I also eat with plastic forks and spoons and I drink out of plastic cups. I live alone and I don't like doing dishes.

LOL-exactly, i have plastic forks knives, and spoons. And the Plastic Cups. And I refused to do dishes.

We use real dishes/cups/silverware @ home. At my friends house though they use paperplates- but only for snacks and stuff. For dinner they use glass.

I use them sometimes.

When I move out, I might use paper plates...I don't wanna break any. :o If I use real ones, they're going to have to be the thin kind that Martha Stewart has at Kmart. Also there better be a dishwasher...I've live in the same apartment building since 1994 and they all have dishwashers but they don't work. They've never worked since 1985. :mad: Because of that, everybody in the building has to wash everything by hand! I hate my landlord! :smash: :smash:

I guess I'm a mix-it-up kind of girl...I wouldn't mind doing the dishes if they are the ones I got dirty, because I always rinse my dishes off in the sink so that there's not so much crap to wash off. And I wouldn't mind using paper plates, either...My coffee has to be in a REAL cup though...I loathe the sytrofoam cups. :p

I use them all the time.

I dont use Paper Plates at home but at Work occasionally We do and since I'M the one who does the dishes at work i'm VERY grateful for those days

I use them all the time. My dad always buys me these paper and styrofoam plates and cups and I don't the room to keep them in the cupboards.

I havent in a long time :lol:

I only use styrofoam plates if I'm sticking something in the microwave. Other than that, I'll use a regular glass plate. I don't mind cleaning one dish. But when I move out, I will eliminate the use for plates. Ramen noodles all the way.

Doesn't it get kind of expensive using plastic utencils and plastic or paper plates everytime you eat?

I never use desposable anything. Unless it's some barbeque thing at someones house. Then those thick ones are okay. At my house I have to use regular dishes.

thanks for the idea. i'll use em when i move out, i hate washing the dishes.

:lol:

I do when we run out of dishes. In fact, I'm drinking out of a pretty clear blue plastic cup right now. :D

I do. I'm too lazy to rinse of the dish and put it in the dishwasher.

Sometimes...

No it's not expensive. Plastic Forks, Knives, and Spoons are $.79 and Plastic/paper plates are $1.19 for 50 plates.

yes, all the time.. i am a clean freak. I'll only use regular plates if they are SPOTLESS...same goes with cups and silverwear

Oh ok. That's really cheap. I thought after awhile, the cost of plastic stuff would really add up, but since it's so cheap it would take a long time before it would cost more than buying the real stuff. I still couldn't do it. Eating off of that stuff seems so chinsy to me. Having a dishwasher doesn't make it so bad to clean dishes.

I don't like drinking out of cups and glasses. I prefer plastic or paper cups.

And Solomon you said my topic whats the worst way to die is stupid, what about this topic. Who eats of paper plates I mean who asks that?

Oh yeah, plastic or paper cups are the only kind of cups I like to drink out of. But for some reason I hate having my plates or silverware be desposable.

Right now I have to eat off paper plates, with plastic utensils and plastic cups because r kitchen is getting completely redone so we have no dishwasher or sink or anything in the kitchen!

I hate paper plates! Also paper napkins and plastic forks!:mad:

no we use regular plates.

we do sometimes, but most of the time we eat off regular plates.

It depends on what we're eating, but we use regular dishes most of the time.

I use paper plates for food like toast or a light snack, but regular dishes for meals.

OMG...am I the only person here that doesn't mind doing the dishes? I'd rather wash one dish than throw a damn plate away. What a waste. And all those plastic and styrofoam plates are just going to pile up in the landfills until a garbage dump ends up in people's backyards!

I use to use paper plates all the time until I got tired of swallowing big chunks of paper everytime I ate something that you had to cut. Now I only use regular dishes. Also paper cups are too flimsy, and easy to knock over.

Much easier :)

My family and I do.

Since I am usually the one who does the dishes, yes, I eat pretty much everything on paper plates. Except soup.;)

I had Pizza tonight and again used a paper plate :)

If I'm fixing something in the microwave that generates a greasy mess (barbecued sausage, for example) I'll use paper just to avoid the nasty clean up.

No and in the days when I went to picnics, yes but not in my house.

My thing is paper towels. I have never really understood why anyone has the need to have them. Why? Dont people have real towels in their homes? Do we really need to kill all these trees to make something that people really dont need at all?

I never use paper plates or plastic utensils at home. Maybe on a picnic. But I do use paper towels at home, for clean ups and spills.

For camping yes. Also if we have a barbecue at home, or even birthday parties and some gatherings we'll use paper plates.

Ha! Just because of this thread, I bought a stack of paper plates at the store today....Dixie "Ultra"....those suckers were more than a dime apiece. We'll see if I enjoy or regret it

I had pizza again yesterday and used paper plates again :)
