I hate wasting the last little bit in a bottle too. Has anyone noticed that in a pump bottle of lotion, it quits dispensing when there is at least an inch of lotion left in the bottle? Such a pain! So I heat it in the microwave nad pour it into something easier to empty. It is a hassle, but I am not throwing it out!

Perhaps, it has something to do with whether you were raised by parents who lived through the Depression, (I did), or people who think abundance is our right.

I knew it.

Wow I learned that tip from my Mother when I was about 4, she did it all the time. Can't believe people of that era did not know about it!

I do love Cooking Light. Just got a great deal on it for 2 years.

Hello
While I am in the 40 plus age group, I did indeed know that! |

Doghouse Mom, your ice cube comment brought a belly laugh!! Love your humor!!
My mom still practices the thrift she grew up with in the Depression. My Dad could never refuse a "gift" of someone else's cast off(s), because it "might come in handy someday." I drive my husband nuts when I try to figure out how to reuse things that should be thrown out. It's just amazing how much the 70 and 80's babies don't know. They never had to learn. |
