Repurposing Stuff

Didn't know where else to put the subject, so here 'tis.

Tic Tac containers make excellent toothpick dispensers.  

Next!

wuhl...it goes in GIRL STUFF.

I like to get my money's worth..the Captain is not as frugal as i, he's wasteful in my opinion...but my toothpaste...yes we use different tooth pastes..he likes one brand, i am not so picky. I make sure i get Virtually ALL of the product out of the tube. often i continue to use it for an additional nearly two weeks. THAT is how much product is left in the container if you are not careful.

Toilet paper tubes make great storage for cords and cables. I actually do this lol.

Ya know how all those appliances w/the removable electric cords can make a drawer a scrambled mess?
Wrap some shelf paper around empty bathroom tissue rolls, and 's' wrap up the cord to fit neatly into the a tissue roll.

However, these days many cords do have those zippy ties already attached. I don't let that dampen my spirits. lol

LOL!  Great minds run in the same gutter.  < See above. >

But, hey - I didn't think of labeling them.

Why can't boys do these things too? Lol

I hear ya with the toothpaste. My sons are so wasteful with toothpaste. I can get two more weeks out of what they throw out.

I wish I had that Tupperware (? I think) gadget that ya put on the end of the tube, and roll as you go up, and keeps the tube from unrolling.
I'm w/you ladies. I can brush my teeth w/the leftover air in the tube. lol.

I do believe we've long since become our mothers.

My mother wasn't in the slightest bit frugal. I just learned to be along the way. Lol.

I'm doing things like my mother that I swore I'd never do. Like, save the table napkin 'til the next night, 'cuz I plain didn't use it, or very barely wiped my chin. Her penny pinching drove me up a wall!

I was taught that waste is a sin. To derive that on your own deserves extra kudos.
