I decided yesterday that I would start looking for cloth napkins at the thrift store, because when we moved we somehow managed to lose most of ours. Today, I was in my closet going through the one and only box in there, looking for something and came across these. Duh! I bought these at a yard sale in June, and promptly put them away and forgot about them.
At only 25¢ per pack, I bought all that they had available. (Five packs of four.)
If you aren't lucky enough to stumble across long forgotten napkins in your closet, you can usually find them at the thrift store. Often, they are still in the package.
I have also used everything from bandannas to men's handkerchiefs I found still in the package for 25¢.
If you feel up to it, you can find some easy instructions for making your own.
We keep our cloth napkins in a basket, next to the table, and because I have a bit o a germ phobia, we use a fresh one for each meal.
