The cheap paper towels are also thinner. I still have one roll left at the barn and one sheet isn’t worth a pinch of salt to wipe the counter area where I mix the feed with water.

I usually kick the Girl Scouts $20 and the Boy Scouts a little more (because the Girl Scouts rake in the money with those cookies.) I've yet to get anything but gratitude in return. No one has had the audacity to try to up-sell me like that.
