Do not throw it yet..

I would love to share this days ago but failed to do it because of my busy chores at home, now I have the time already. I happened to notice this when I was washibg my face yesterday morning. Products in tubes sometimes has a lot of left overs that we thought the tube is empty. My advice is that do not throw it away , check the inside first by cutting the empty part. In the picture was my niece's facial wash tube. She thought it was empty already and just left it in the bathroom , beauty products these days are expensive too so what I did was I am using it now and believe me the contents left are good for a week , can you imagine that? Just like in toothpastes and or any products that is in tubes and sachets , check the inside first before throwing them , this will also help you in a small way. This is the time that we should not waste anything. Hope this hack can help .

With shampoo and conditioner I always add a little bit of water to get the last little bit out. With tubes I cut the end off and there is always some left which I use of before throwing the tube away.

This is a great idea and something I do as well. Get every last bit out of everything you can. It saves quite a bit of money. Most people don't realize how full an empty container actually is.

I have seen a couple people talking about this and it makes me very happy. I do this ALL THE TIME! In fact, when it comes to toothpaste tubes, with both my wife and I using them, if I cut them open and scoop out all the bits we get about 3-5 days worth of brushings out of it. People don't realize how much they are actually throwing away when they think something is "empty."

That's a very good idea. With toothpaste tubes, I wind the tube from the bottom and push any residue up towards the top. There is also a device I bought online that helps get every last bit out of the tube.
