I assume the OP means paper plates like you would use for a picnic

I've been so poor I had to sleep behind a dumpster and cover up with a cardboard box and I never found myself just buying paper plates over and over. The dollar tree will sell you a plate for 1 single George Washington. Or just eat out of the pot. Hell, I do that now just to save having to wash a dish. Something tells me this story doesn't add up.
