I don't have a reliable source for newspaper. We don't get the paper at my house and neither does anyone in my family aside from the weekly circulars.

The times I have used newspaper I didn't like the way it came apart when it was wet. The kraft paper I use absorbs well; is a little thicker and maintains its structural integrity which at the end of the day makes my life easier when I clean.

A roll of craft paper last me months and it doesn't end up being "all this money" when you spread the cost across all those months.

With that said I'm happy the way I utilize my budget makes you laugh
