Leftover Hair Conditioner

Used the last of the shampoo, but still have some remaining conditioner?  Don't throw it out!  Use it as shaving cream instead.  It works just as well and you save some money in the process.

Toothpaste Squeeze

How do you get your toothpaste tube to look like this?

My husband taught me a simple way to truly get every last drop out of your tube of toothpaste.

Step 1.  Lay tube of toothpaste on a hard, flat surface.

Step 2.  Press the long handle of your toothbrush along the bottom end of the tube.

Step 3.  Applying steady pressure, slowly move the toothbrush handle up to the tip, compressing the remaining toothpaste together.

Voila!  You will be able to get every last drop of toothpaste, maximizing your purchase!

Showers are Savers

Taking a short shower instead of a bath is a great way to save money and the environment.  Not only do you save money on gallons of water, but you also save money on the cost of heating that extra water.

I must be completely honest and say that I rarely follow this tip, although I should.  Baths are one of the few "luxuries" I allow myself!
