A CHEAP MOM has admitted she hates doing dishes so much that she has her kids eat off paper plates every single time.
She claimed that not only does it save her money, but it also saves her time.
Taking to social media after a trip to Sam’s Club, Jessica Smith admitted: “I’m sure somebody is going to get mad about this but we eat off paper plates for dinner sometimes when I don’t feel like doing dishes.
“I have to share this tip with you. You can buy 250 paper plates from Sam’s Club or 750 food trays for the same price.
“You also eat on paper plates because you don’t like doing dishes. That is the best money-saver,” she concluded, dubbing it a lazy mom hack.
Following up on that “money-saving” hack, she also shared a follower’s alternative to paper towels.

“When I couldn’t find paper towels in the beginning of the pandemic, I used coffee filters (500 for $10) for everything – microwaving, snacks, cleaning,” another mom revealed.
Unfortunately, Smith did not get the response she thought she was going to get.
Many took to the comment section to slam her about producing too much waste.
One person wrote: “While the rest of the world is trying our damndest to REDUCE our waste, here America is wearing the crown of laziness.”
A second commented: “Tell me you’re from USA without telling me … “
“The best money saver would be not to buy them,” a third added.
However, many people defended the mom and admitted that they’d rather spend time with their families too.
“Why is it always ‘you’re killing the environment’ and never ‘I can see family time is important to you so I’ve gotten you a cleaning service!’??” one person commented.
A second one shared: “I’m about to admit that this will now be a staple in my home.”
And a third said: “We need all the breaks we can get! Life is far too short to be standing around a hot soaky sink after a beautiful meal.Paper vs soaps, hot water, and time.”
Previously, another lazy mom suggested putting an extra-large Lazy Susan, about 18 inches wide, in your corner cabinet so you can easily turn the tray to find what you’re looking for.
A corner cabinet’s shape can make it extremely difficult to reach to the back or to put your spices or sauces on display, but this revolving tray will help show off all your stored away items with just one spin.
“You can even double up with a second one,” she suggested.
In her video, she showed a much smaller Lazy Susan placed on top of her large one.

This way, she can easily access anything on the center of the Lazy Susan by just turning around the smaller one.
Commenters were so excited about this space-saving idea, saying things like “Yes! I need this” and “Two Lazy Susans! Double the fun.”
