Gauche? They aren’t rolls of toilet paper or sanitary supplies. People do sneeze - even visitors to your home.

How much do you save by using toilet paper instead of a tissue?

Have you applied for government assistance for help purchasing the cheapest product in the entire domestic care marketplace?

Where do you do it?

No, just in the bathroom and bedrooms. Not in main living areas unless someone is sick

Yes. Kleenex in living room, den, bedrooms (but not bathrooms). It's just for me and kids: DH uses hankerchiefs.

Decorative? No. But we all have allergies so we have tissues in LR, bathrooms, all bedrooms, our cars, and an extra multipack in our linen closet.

We fill a cupboard with tissues every time my son gets a cold virus / flu because he is particularly sinusy and gets through them (and leaves them all over his bedroom floor). So I guess given he scatters them you "could" say we keep tissues around the house, but not in the way you mean.

Only on the nightstand. For obvious reasons.

Yes- a few per floor. One next to my bed, one in the laundry room (so I can grab if I'm in the kitchen), one in family room.

I have them all over but I have respiratory issues and have to blow my nose a lot.

NP I use toilet paper in the bathroom. That's why there isn't a tissue box there.

Tissues really shouldn't go in the toilet, so I don't want people throwing tissues there.

Nope. I actually never use kleenex, I just use TP to blow my nose. We have special tissues (puffs lotion) for when someone is sick, but those are "special tissues" hahaha. They stay in the closet 99% of the time.
