Do you buy boxes of Kleenex for your house?

Do you buy boxes of Kleenex for your house? Or do you just use rolls of toliet paper?

I try to keep at least one box of kleenex in the house but they seem to just get used up for more than just runny noses. People use them to wipe up spills and that sort of thing instead of getting up to get a rag or dish towel, so we usually end up just having to use toliet paper when a kleenex would feel so much better on our pour noses.

I normally have at least 1 box on hand. I like to get the Kleenex with Aloe in it. DH has been having horrible allergy problems, so the nose is constantly running. The actually kleenex's are more soothing on the nose.

Oh gosh, yes, I keep tons of Kleenex around! There's one box in every room. We're a rather snotty nose bunch.

Himself gets nose bleeds, so we keep boxes of tissue around. We don't buy the pocket packs - he takes a handful from the big box and sticks in his pocket every morning to take to work with him just in case.
I'd rather he use handkerchiefs and reduce the paper consumption, but I also understand his not wanting to carry a bloody hankie around in his pocket all day, so I don't push it.

I actually don't. I do keep a box in the guest room for my Mom and it lasts YEARS. LOL She is literally the only person that uses it. We don't get runny noses around here very often, and when we do, we just use a square of toilet paper.

I do keep a little mini pack in my purse and car. I tend to use it for lipstick blotting more than anything else.

We have the kleenex with anti bacterial on hand. My kids know that they are only for noses so I don't have a problem with them being used on other things. And if you use these and cut yourself you will go for toliet paper anyway because they burn badly if they come in contact with open skin.

We have a box of kleenex in every room of the house.

I also keep one at my office and a box in my car!

Yes, in every room of the house, and in every car.

I keep a box in every room but they seem to last for a year or more. In fact the one in my bdr is one I unpacked from the house in Hawaii, the box was bought in early 2008.

Yes, we have a box of Kleenex in just about every room. DS2 has year round allergies, DS3 gets allergies in Aug. Plus, I can't stand it when people constantly sniff (or worse... snort) when they can just blow their nose and be done with it. I taught the boys early on to not snort or constantly sniff. I wish this guy I work with could learn this. He snorts constantly and it is so gross! It's even worse when he snorts and then starts coughing because whatever he snorted down gets caught in his throat. (sorry for gross talk )
