There are many k-cups that are not from keurig, and they are %100 industrially compostable. You can also put a small compost bucket beside the pods so they would actually be composted. That plus sweetener in paper packets and you have a %100 compostable system. Maybe there are powder creamers out there that come in paper packets too. I use these guys myself, and they are 0.30 a cup from Costco: https://www.sanfranciscobaycoffee.com/index.php/onecup-for-keurig-coffee-machines/ https://www.sanfranciscobaycoffee.com/index.php/onecup-for-k... I like the rainforest blend the best, but you will probably want a variety pack to see what guests like the best. Also bidets don't really reduce tp usage for me, since you need it to dry up.

Yes I buy Kirkland as well. You're right much cheaper, but same horrendously wasteful packaging. So, talk to me about the bidet. I've always though that if I hosed myself off real good, then I could consistently use just one wipe with the tp to dry off, instead of needing an unpredictable number of wipings to the same without water. Is this realistic? Do you find it's consistently just one tp wipe per job? Because that right there would be a huge improvement in my material costs. Edit: Wait, did you say compostable k-cups? I've never heard of that, BRB... Edit2: I'll be darned. That's great. They're a little more expensive than Kirkland, but I think it's worth it. Very cool, thanks for the tip.

  I have a cheap bidet similar to this https://www.amazon.com/Luxe-Bidet-Neo-180-Non-Electric/dp/B00A0RMQ1E https://www.amazon.com/Luxe-Bidet-Neo-180-Non-Electric/dp/B0... and I LOVE IT! It takes about 10 seconds to clean, and only takes 1 wipe to dry. There are fancier models that have a built-in blow dryer so you wouldn't even need to dry at all, but they require an outlet near the toilet.

    That's what I want to hear, thanks.

    I've used ones with blow-dryers here in Japan and they've universally been too weak to actually fully dry you in a reasonable amount of time. Similar to a really weak hand dryer.

  I use really thin 1 ply scott tp that come with 1000 sheets per roll. It actually works pretty good, but I guess for drying from bidets, it gets saturated quickly compared to more luxury tp, so you have to use more. Maybe if I used the good stuff it would not take a lot. Also TP is a compostable and renewable resource, so I wouldn't worry that much about it's usage.

    Good point. I don't know why it bothers me so much.
