Living the Frugal Life (Semi-lighthearted) ?

I buy supermarket own brand dishwasher tablets and snap them in half. I find the dishes still come out perfectly clean with just half a tablet.

Tesco and Aldi own brand are good and half the price of the premium ones.

I still cannot bear to throw away the last sliver of a bar of soap. I don't save them up either, I spend ages tying to soften them and stick them on to the new bar! Which is then lumpy and uncomfortable to use at first. I probably get about another 3 washes out of the sliver..............

I do that too FairFraise , it’s amazing how much you can get out of ‘empty’ moisturiser tubes etc

I always cut toothpaste tubes and skin cream tubes in half when you can't squeeze them any more and decant them into small pots kept for that purpose. They can last up to 10 days or more!

We have stopped the delivery of our daily newspaper and are saving £20 a month. I now walk to the local shops to get it. Probably will regret it when the weather turns nasty.

I use a Maybelline foundation in a glass bottle with a pump action dispenser. When it is no longer pumping any out, I prise the top off with a knife and get many more applications!
