    Default There's a lot more lotion in that tube!

    Do you use lotion that comes in tubes? Next time, before you throw that tube away, cut off the top and look to see how much lotion is really left in there! I guarantee you'll be surprised.

    I would never be shocked, it seems that everything lately has shrunk in size and gone up in price!

    Good tip Karen! I also swish a little water in my "empty" cream rinse bottle and amazed at how much more is in there!

    Works for toothpaste tubes, too. You can flatten the tube completely and still scoop out several "portions" from the last little bit from near the cap!

    I put my toothpaste tube against the wall and squish it down with my thumbs. I'm going to try this though when my current tube looks empty!
