<prompt> Human: Any math on Washing dishes and utensils Versus Buying thin paper plates and disposable utensils in bulk?Long story short, I used to live on the Beach in an older Beach House unit from the 40s or 50s, aka no dishwasher and really crappy kitchen sink water flow, and super old rusty beach pipes and nasty sink water.Just like I said of no dishwasher at all, I generally would buy a huge batch of lets say disposable thin paper plates in bulk, and huge bulk amount of disposable everyday spoons or forks at walmart or target.It is pretty easy, and obviously semi-convenient of throw out the plate and spoon when youre done.I have since moved, to a full on inland home, that has a dishwasher and decent sink and less cramped and no ants.Facts: Utilities are included in the rent, so house water and sink water is free; Obviously within reason and reasonable use of the municipal water of not over doing it.Does anyone have math on owning actual plates and bowls and utensils, and the math of hand washing dishwasher Versus buying large amounts of paper plates disposable bowls disposable utensils in bulk?  <response>: Maybe Im missing something but it sounds to me like your already paying to use the water and dishwasher so if you used disposable youd be paying twice. Again Im probably missing something but thats my 2 cents
