I'm trying to use every bit of a product before I throw it away or recycle and yesterday morning cut open the plastic tube of toothpaste to get at the bit I couldn't squeeze out. I got two more tooth cleaning sessions for 'free' 😁
I have been informed by Nectar that I am now #4 buyer of tinned pears in my local store! Up from #7 that is definitely a promotion in my book 😂
Thanks for popping in and stay safe wherever in the world you happen to be x

I usually take my rolling pin to the toothpaste tubes, but now after rolling them as flat as possible I am going to cut it open and see if I can squeeze out more.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Always worth doing Jackie x
DeleteHi I’ve just cut my liz Earle tube and look and behold probably about 6 washes in there now to look for cheapest place to purchase new one ..any thoughts please
ReplyDeleteHi Jeangenie, I usually try to get mine from Boots online as they sometimes have 20% discount or special offers of one sort or another, otherwise I suggest cleanser to my daughter for my birthday. I hope you can get a bargain because it's really lovely stuff!
DeleteOh and forgot to say that Boots had a bargain box around Christmas time containing a 100ml cleanser, 200ml skin tonic, 150ml hand repair and a muslin cloth for £29.50. If you use your loyalty card you can accumulate enough points at some point to get a free cleanser :)
DeleteThank you for your help will try boots I love this cleanser
DeleteGood for you for using every last drop of those items. I save up my soap slivers and make them into liquid soap on the stove.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing to see how much is still left in the tube when you cut it open, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely right, Bless, it would all be wasted otherwise.
DeleteYes, I've been doing the cutting open of tubes for some time, I was disgusted when I cut open my first 'empty' hand-cream and found about a third of the product was still in there!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that you are climbing the charts with your tinned pear purchases :-)
lol....well I have to be good at something!...lol ;)
DeleteSuch a good idea to get the last bits out of your favourite products by cutting them open and not wasting them. The top of a tube is almost impossible to squeeze out properly otherwise.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week x
