]]> A thought hit me today, as I stood in the shower, rinsing out the excess body wash from my scrubby thing. I always have a lot of left over lather in my scrubby thing, after washing all of my body parts. It just seems wasteful to rinse it out, but how else can I keep from having this repeated problem? Then I realized that the hole in my bottle of body wash is awfully large. If I just pour the body wash into an old soap dispenser and use one pump, it would be sufficient to clean my whole body and not waste a whole bunch. Of course, this was just a theory. So I tried it out and found that it really does work!

From now on, I’ll save at least half the amount of body wash that I used to use, just by pumping out in smaller portions. Then I wondered how much laundry detergent, dish soap and shampoo I could save, per month, just by cutting my portions in half. So I cut my laundry soap down to half. I cut my dish detergent in half and my shampoo usage in half. I can’t wait to see how much longer it will be until I have to buy new bottles of these products! If you have any other household items that you have been able to reduce, while retaining effectiveness, leave them in comments section for me, please. Thanks so much, my new friends!
