Appreciation post: I was dead wrong about those cheap cleaning cloths at the dollar store

After 8 months of buying $12 microfiber towels that left streaks on the diner windows, I grabbed a pack of the blue ones from Dollar General for $1.25 and now I can actually see through the glass - has anyone else found a random cheap fix that beat the expensive stuff?

Are we really acting like a dollar store towel is some kind of life changing miracle? It's a rag, man.

@jake_chen I mean seriously, have you actually tried using a cheap towel from the dollar store? Because those things are basically just a piece of fabric shaped like a towel. They don't dry anything, they just push water around your body and leave you still feeling damp. What exactly is the miracle people are claiming here? That it costs a dollar and you don't feel bad throwing it away after one use? Because that's not a miracle, that's just being cheap and wasteful with your time and money. I'd rather buy a decent towel that actually works and lasts years than save a buck on something that feels like a used t-shirt.
