Frugal Friday

Today I am participating in Frugal Friday over at http://www.lifeasmom.com/.

What do these items have in common?????


When you can't get any more product out of a tube of toothpaste or lotion, etc..., cut it open.  I have found with toothpaste I often have 3 or 4 more uses in it.  My son refuses to do this, so when he demands a new tube, I take his old one and finish it up.  Does anyone else cut tubes open to get the last little bit of product?

  1. Interesting. I've never tried to cut up a tube. Good idea!

  2. Not everytime - but certainly more often than not! It is not only frugal but it helps me to be a good steward of what has been given me. Great Hint!

  3. I do this with my painting tubes. Sometimes I can't open them anymore so I just cut the end and squeeze the color out instead of throwing the tube away !
