I plan to post about my efforts toward voluntary simplicity, frugality, and debt free living. Much of this is grounded in environmentalism, politics, and social justice.

Will It Wipe? Testing Grocery Bags... PAPER Grocery Bags.
Remember: WE are testing WIPING, not flushing. DO NOT FLUSH THESE THINGS. Throw them away in a trash can or trash bag. If you have a pet, you will want to use a covered metal can in a cupboard. If you have a toddler...best of luck.
AND: WASH YOUR DAMN HANDS.
And now for our 4th Contestant
Used Grocery Bags...the paper ones
PREP:
The usual rubbing around to bring the nap up and make it softer. It helps if it's been used a few times so it's already softening up. ALSO...you won't need an entire full size grocery sack for each "go" unless you are having some sort of intestinal drama.
SCRATCH FACTOR: 4/5
With proper prep, it's quite good really! I mean, it's not the lotion filled pillow like top of the line nonsense, but I haven't used that in so long I don't even REMEMBER it.
EASE OF USE: 4/5
Easy prep if you have slightly worn out bags around. Ripping off the right amount is not a problem.
PAPER-CUT SAFETY: 4/5
Unless you leave the handles on or forget to soften up the top edge, it will be hard to do yourself any damage with this option.
ABSORBENCY: 4/5
GO SLOW. It IS absorbent, but it is not the "quicker picker upper".
The strength factor is excellent. There will be no surprise finger poke-through with paper grocery bags.
CLEANSING POWER: 5/5
Excellent! I mean, I use them...DIFFERENT ONES...as scrubbers for cast iron pans so I knew they could take warm grease and crusties out, now I know more things they can take out.
AVAILABILITY: 4/5
Just say "paper please!" and there you are.
Bold Name of Tested Product COMPOSITE SCORE: 25/30
So, more suggestions please.
Or perhaps someone disagrees with my assessment?
