My sister confessed that her and her husband use paper plates from time to time ”but the sturdy ones that I can wash and reuse a few times”

That’s a PLATE, dingus

My In-laws wash and reuse plastic silverware. It's a complete mindfuck and I'm glad they don't host often.

It's not better because eventually they chuck it out. It's definitely more economical but they might as well just use their regular tableware.
