Do you keep enough towels for just one week and launder them weekly or do you like to keep several stacks of them that will last longer than just a week? Crackhabit's post about the RL towels on sale at Macy's got me to thinking. I don't genuinely need those towels but it's such a steal I will probably grab a few. I am a sucker for a stack of fresh white towels!!

We have enough towels for ourselves and guests for two wash cycles. As in, a fresh set to replace the dirty ones while they are being laundered. So ... 8 of everything.
I have like 24 towels all together divided between 3 bathrooms.
I do towel laundry once a week.
There's just a never ending random parade of people in and out and I never who's moving in the for the weekend, so I like clean towels without worrying about laundry.
Came in handy this week..lol.
Last weekend we had Hs family reunion. 4 extra people in my house, one a towel obsessed teenage girl. Then my grandma died and my sister and her boyfriend and one of my cousins have been here all week as a result.
I'm finally getting picked up this morning and I have 3 towels left..lol.
Towels are cheap. I like to have them on hand and be stocked up.

I really have no idea how many towels I have? I've never thought about. The linen closet is stuffed full. I live near the water so having a metric ton of towels is normal.
I just bought new towels last year from PB. I got 8 bath towels, 8 wash cloths, and 2 hand towels (2 different colors). We re-use our towels for a few showers and I only do laundry when we have full loads (and I mix everything in the house together) so we have plenty of towels to last forever.

I have 8 towels for 3 people. H showers every morning and I generally shower every night but wash my hair every other night, so every other night I use 2 towels. We go through our 8 towels (all I have space for) about twice a week so I wash them twice a week. Once we have a real linen closet (and not what parades as a linen closet in our house) I will go apeshit buying more towels. Nicer towels too, these were clearance ones from Target or Wal-Mart that I bought when I decided I wanted white towels.
