The people who were not raised in our era have no idea what good eating is!!! Beans and cornbread are
the best!!!

I store them upside down when that happens. Then I just unscrew the top, use the pump to dab some on my hands, put the top back on and move on. :D

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 just turn it upside down, set in a cup or something, until all the lotion/shampoo/soap runs to the top. Then I empty it into another container.

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.
