Paper towels are convenient, but also grossly unnecessary. So I bought a 20 pack of wash rags at family dollar for about 10 dollars. It's going to save hundreds all year. Plus I already do so much laundry with the baby that it's no big deal to throw them in with other things. I also bought a 10 pack of paper towels, thinking I would need them for really gross stuff or big messes. It's been two weeks and I haven't needed them yet! I don't know why I didn't do this sooner!
I don't think the cheap rags I bought will hold up very long but I'll buy some more durable and absorbent bamboo ones as soon as I find a good deal. Until then, I'll try and figure out a use for 10 rolls of paper towels!
