Check Out How This Reader Doesn’t Waste a Single Drop of Sunscreen, Toothpaste & More!
One reader saves money by refusing to waste a drop of the product.
We interrupt sharing your weekly hauls for a money-saving tip from reader SS White!
Have you ever gotten to the end of a bottle of lotion, sunscreen, or makeup only to find the last bit of product was stuck in the container? Throwing out a perfectly good product seems like such a waste of hard-earned money. Fortunately, SS has a tip for getting those last few drops out of the tube! 🙌
Here’s how it’s done!
“We use lots of tubes of various products around our house, like lotions, toothpaste, sunscreen, even some kitchen products, etc. It always irked me when I squeezed down to near the end of the tube but couldn’t get out that last little bit of product.”
“Several years ago, I solved that problem by using scissors to cut the near-empty, plastic tube into two pieces, across the short direction.”
“I dig out (with a table knife or with my finger) whatever product remains in the end of the tube without the lid, and scrape it into the other end of the tube. The one end that is now pretty much empty beonlinees a slide-on lid for the other end of the tube that still may have a fair amount of product left in it.”
“Sometimes I have an ‘extra’ two weeks’ worth of toothpaste or sunscreen left in the shortened tube! It makes me happy both to save money and to have several more days’ worth of the existing product, before I need to move on with a replacement. I’m always happy to learn of so many great ways to live frugally with H2S tips, and hope this hack might be useful for others….!”
That is so clever, SS! 🙌 Thank you SO MUCH for this tutorial on how to get the last drop of product out of a tube.
Some products cost a pretty penny and I hate to waste even a drop! This tip is sure to help me and the rest of the Hip onlinemunity get the most out of our purchases! 🎉
