This was another common sight when I was growing up. My mum would fully use up all the toothpaste because as we know, it’s not easy being a wife cum maid cum mother. I knew she worried about money though she never let it show. So do I save on toothpaste? Yes, in the beginning. That was when I wasn’t sure of our (my husband and my own) future. Nowadays, I throw toothpaste ‘scraps’ out too, because well, I don’t want to live like that. Again, I’ve done my ‘research’, the most expensive toothpaste is about $8.15 for 110g, so perhaps we are saving $1? Why is it alright to save on toothpaste but not toilet roll? I guess it’s mainly because of hygiene reasons. Agree? You don’t want to struggle when you go to the loo. LOL. I’ll tell you about money and saving money in a bit. So if you are just starting out in your career, and money is tight, you can save on toothpaste. But the condition is you must only do it only for a while (1 or 2 years maximum!) And for goodness sake, don’t scrape and scrape until every bit of toothpaste is gone. That’s really miserable.
