Save Money by Using Your Scissors

lotion tubes
...and no, we're not talking about clipping coupons. 

We had a theory that a lot of product, such as lotion that comes in tubes like these, can remain in the tube even after squeeze, squeeze, squeezing out as much as possible.  We tested our theory on some heavy-duty hand lotion (well, not really scientific testing, but our own personal use) and found that by snipping the top of the tube off with a pair of scissors, we got an additional 4 to 5 uses out of each tube!

Save some money by getting more uses out of old tubes before having to go buy new ones.  This isn't limited to just lotions, it is also a way to get the last traces of other products, like toothpaste or sunscreen, out of their tubes, too. 

Hey - it's the little things that can add up to some big savings!
