Re: What Things Do You Make LAST LONGER?
Hand soap - I have one container of soap in the bathroom (bought on sale w/coupon usually - or at dollar store) and one in the kitchen. Instead of trying to use up the last bit in the bathroom one, I'll pour it into the kitchen one. So, every couple of weeks, I have to buy a new soap for the bathroom but I've been using the same container in the kitchen for a while.
Dish soap - I buy the big container at Sam's and pour it into a smaller dispenser that used to be hand soap.
Dryer sheets - instead of cutting in half, I use them at least twice. That's if I use them at all. Sometimes I find that I don't need them.
Printer paper - I'll keep the extra sheets and use the backs of them for the fax machine reports. I also use it for lists and other stuff that I'm printing that doesn't have to be "clean"
Envelopes - I have just recently started saving and re-using reply envelopes.
Ketchup/mustard and other condiments - I will pour the last of it into the new bottle or use a scraper to get the last bit out of the old container and add it to the new one.
