Do you use up all your toothpaste?

Hi Sashakiddo, I never try this method to save on toothpaste. Some of my toothpaste tubes were actually complimentary items from hotel rooms. I take all these home so that I do not waste anything. Most of the small tubes of toothpaste in hotel can last for a week instead of just a day. As to the toothpaste that I bought, I just make sure that I squeeze out every single bit. I guess I have to open the tube. It is a good idea to use it for two more days.

hi, i always drain my toothpaste but not in the point that i need to cut the tube just to get some toothpaste in it,i just squeeze it from the bottom to top and that's it.its great when have that toothpaste squeezers so that i can totally drain the toothpaste.

Yes, I do the same. I wanted to maximize everything which I bought to save money for the children's schooling. I just hope that the toothpaste company could invent a better container which we could squeeze everything.

I have never tried it but my mum does always squeeze a tube from bottom to top but never cut it to scrape off the last bit of toothpaste.It's gross.

Yes. Life now is hard so you have to save and use all the things around you properly and economically. If I can't press it anymore, I cut it into two so I can still use some of it before throwing it.

Yes true we also use last bit of tooth paste by sillting bottom of the tube by a blade & take out the residual paste in it it really last for approximately 2~3 days.

I tey not to waste my toothpaste. I sueezze the tube in any way that i can to get all of my toothpoaste's worth.

I am also like you, i tend to get as much tooth paste out of the tube as i can.I always have loads of tooth paste in my house, ready for when we run out.I think that it is a good idea to use up as much as you can as the saying is every little helps when saving money

Well,I haven't thought about doing that yet,but since the crisis appear to be neverending in my country and every method to make some economies is good,I will try to apply it from now on,and I will also cut the tube open and try to use everything.I haven't heard about toothpaste squeezers yet,but I would use them if I found such a device.

i use to squeeze till only left with scrap of plastic cover. at last it saves my money.

I can't imagine brushing my teeth from toothpaste that has been exposed to the air for 2 days. Doesn't it dry out? I would think it would dry out. I do squeeze it from the bottom to get the most from the tube. Best Wishes!

O No. I squeeze it well and take out paste to the maximum extent. I do not cut open. I have not heard like this before. Hats off to you. have a good day

I've never tried. But intrigued me.So when I did the toothpaste will try.Thanks a lot I found something new.Have a nice day!

I do that too. I just squeeze from the bottom to the top and I also cut the tube as I am pretty sure that there are still remaining toothpaste in there that I can still use. It is hard to earn money nowadays that is why we have to really use our toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner etc. to thier fullest.

I have heard of this useful tip to squeeze every last drop of toothpaste from a tube; but I have not really practised it myself. I admit, I'm just too lazy. The other thing is the mess that I will encounter. But if I can save two days' worth of toothpaste, that sounds like a good deal. My toothpaste is finishing soon and I will give it a try this time!

That's good practice:) My mom did that when we were kids. She also cut the tube open to squeeze out whatever toothpaste was left. We don't do it nowadays, though. I myself found it a little bit of a hassle. But I still squeeze the tube from bottom to top and also run through any hard object to the tube to really squeeze out whatever's left.

Lol! I just try to squeeze as much out of the tube as I can, but I stop short of cutting the tube open. I have heard of those squeezers to but I haven't seen any in the store. Maybe that's something to try in the future. =P
