Do you cut open your toothpaste tube?
Do you guys cut it to get the last bit of tooth paste out?
I admit I am guilty of this! 
Countless of times I have shamelessly done it to scoop out the remaining and every time I cut one open, I see how much toothpaste is still left inside (enough for 3 - 5 more brushings!) which squeezing from the outside couldn't get it out anymore.
Do you guys do it also?
Are you okay with it? What do you think? Is it a little too much or too frugal to do?
P.S. I also do it sometimes with other products in tubes like creams, shampoos etc. It's economical and I'm not embarrassed to admit.

Literally, getting the most out of a product or getting your money's worth to the last drop

@pitsipeahie Yes. Just like what you do when the food you like is gone and you still look at the sides or package if there are still some left. It is fun. hehe

No shame in it at all. In a world full of wasteful people, we have a lot to learn from you. I also think companies should rethink how they package toothpaste so that we can squeeze out the last bits of it - or is that part of their marketing. It's also ridiculous why no one, as far as I know, has invented a tube that's refillable?

True. It pays to be economical and environmental too these days. Avoid being wasteful as much as we can even in small ways.
