What dish sponges do you use? (lemmy.world)

It is more efficient to buy cheap supermarket sponges and replace them more often, or do you find that more expensive options are worth the additional cost?

Crochet + yarn does it for me. I make little 3x6" shapes with a small needle.

For scrubbies I use on of the dollar store plastic abrasive pads.
