The backs of junk mail printed on one side only are fine for compter paper, and I have a stack of plain-backed junkmail envelopes for scratch pads.
I reuse envelopes. Buy 2-cent stamps at the PO, write the address on a blank space, and cover the rest of the envelope with 22 two-cent stamps (or 44 ones), and tape it shut. The envelope the utility company sends you to mail the check works even better, you don't have to tape it.
I eat junk food maybe 5 times a month, and take a dozen or so napkins home with me each time. I use them for kleenex, toilet paper, wiping up minor spills.
I use launderable cloth napkins and kitchen wipes (old towels cut up).
It makes me cry to see people using paper towels. A ring where somebody set down a cold glass---grab a whole brawny, wipe it up, and toss it in the trash.
However, in August, when they set out their back to school stuff, WalMart has spiral notebooks for a dime. I splurge and pick up about a dozen of those, to write things that that I want to save and keep orderly.

What do you wipe your butt with? Never mind I see it now...LOL
"I eat junk food maybe 5 times a month, and take a dozen or so napkins home with me each time. I use them for kleenex, toilet paper, wiping up minor spills."
Oh, ick. Those napkins were stacked into their dispensers or piles by 16 year-olds. I'll stick to good-ol' machine-rolled TP and I won't feel guilty about that at all.
BTW, I use paper towels, but I tear them into appropriate sizes for their respective tasks. One sheet makes dinner napkins for four. They're tough to tear against the grain, however, so we usually each get a 1/4 sheet strip.
The operative word in there is "splurge". Atypical behavior.
I refuse to buy any paper products
I Never Buy Paper

Looks like you are being frugal with your definitions.
How does one take napkins from an establishment? Do you just walk in and take them or do you just buy something from the dollar menu? Many fast food restaurants now keep their napkins up front by the registers because of you. You are making people like myself have to walk all the way to the front to get some damn napkins now.
what happens if you run out of napkins and its midnight and need to use the restroom? Do you just use the cloth napkin or the junkmail envelopes?

No paper towels for me!
I refuse to buy paper towels or tissues. I like to pick up dinner napkins - the old fashioned kind, at thrift shops. I wash & fold them & keep one in my purse, & a stack by my bedside. They're super soft & absorbent. They come in very handy by the bedside!
I almost always ask for extra paper napkins at the fast food drive through but I keep those in the car. I wouldn't be comfortable taking enough of them to use for T.P. That wouldn't seem right to me.
