What's cheap, though? I suppose paper/plastic plates and dinnerware are "cheap" - say a penny or two for a full place setting. Except that sometime back in the early '80s I bought a set of Corelle dinnerware - the sort of thing that goes for $40-50 at WalMart these days - and I'm still using it. So figure a penny a day times 365 days per year times 30 years... and that's not counting all the times I've had friends over, and used more than one setting.
