Cut It In Half
Posted: Mon Sep 24, 2018 2:13 pm
I have found by cutting things in half I can save a lot of money.
Here are some examples:
1. sponges ( I buy then for work) I actually cut them into thirds. There is just enough to use to clean something with, and it is like getting 6 sponges for the price of 2 ($1.00).
2. S.O.S pad. I cut in half and keep the used half in a soap box in my freezer. It thaws out in seconds and the air isn't able to get to it to make it rust. I have a one box for years.
3. Hydrogen peroxide based contact lens cleaning solution. Instead of putting the full amount of cleaner in the container, I only use half. I use regular saline solution for the other half. It makes the expensive hydrogen peroxide based cleaner last twice as long (about $7.00 per bottle).
4.This isn't something that I cut in half, but when my soap dispensers run out, I buy a 32 oz. bottle of spa soap (look a lot like Soft Soap) from the dollar tree and use it to refill my dispensers.
Do you have anything you like to cut in half in order to save?
