I bought some of those, but I mostly use them to wash dishes. But you can use them like paper towels too, although I havent tried it yet.
Also, you may be able to get bulk item things that you want delivered from places like Costco and BJs but itll cost for the shipping unless you order a lot. . Im lucky that I can still easily get some somewhat larger items myself when I go there.

What bulk items I can carry are OK or if too much for me, I leave in the trunk of the car for later.

We don't have those big box stores near us so the gas I would use getting to one kinda negates the savings.
