Thrifty Thursday: Good to the Last Drop

by Dana Zeliff on April 21, 20112011-04-21

Take a stroll around my house and you will find a bottle propped upside down.  I want to make sure I use every drop of the soap, shampoo or detergent before rinsing and recycling the container. I can usually squeeze an extra load of laundry or a few hair washes out of an “empty” bottle.

If you get 1 extra load of laundry out of every bottle, think about how much that means in a lifetime!

A few products that I “flip”

– Dish Soap
– Laundry Detegent
– Liquid Fabric Softener
– Shampoo & Conditioner
– Ketchup and other Condiments such as salad dressing, BBQ Sauce and mustard
– Toothpaste is squeezed and rolled

*I usually add water to my pump handsoap bottles when they are about half gone.  I saw that on Martha Steward many moons ago 🙂 It works just as well and gets twice the amount of handsoap from 1 bottle.  Further, I’ll add a bit of water to an empty bottle such as my shampoo, shake it and get enough to wash my hair again.  You have to rinse the bottle before placing in the recycle bin anyways.  Why just dump it down the drain?

What items do you use to the last drop?

Favor: Will You Rate or Review Me On Alexa?

I have a huge favor to ask.  Would you mind rating or reviewing me on Alexa, please?  Low Alexa ratings can help me bring you better offers and products to giveaway.  Companies are looking at these numbers when considering blogs to work with. 

Please provide your honest opinion, and I appreciate you taking a few minutes out of your busy schedule to help me.

*You will need to sign up with Alexa to write a review

How to review:
Go to: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/thecouponchallenge.com#
There will be a tab for “review”
You will need to sign up for Alexa, then you can submit a own review of my site
