Mr. Silly Posted January 23, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 23, 2015 It is impossible to get the last 20% of the lotion out of the bottle. I bet patents for better designs that can get all the lotion out are being bought up by a consortium of Big Global Lotion Corporations so we have to buy a new bottle before we've used up the bottle we have.

jsharr ★ Posted January 23, 2015 Share #2 Posted January 23, 2015 Buy it in the squeeze bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyhip Posted January 23, 2015 Share #3 Posted January 23, 2015 I saw the top off the bottle, and scoop out the rest. Nothing gets wasted. I do the same thing with toothpaste. However, these days I just tend to make my own lotion or use a combo of 100% shea or coconut oil on my skin. Lotion is kind of a racket. You can make that crap for cheap.

Mr. Silly Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share #4 Posted January 23, 2015 Buy it in the squeeze bottle. Squeeze bottles suck too., there's always a percentage that you can't get out up around the shoulders of the bottle. It's a racket I say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I unscrew the tops and use the pump to scrape what I can off. I guess I could try cutting the whole top off. How do you keep it from drying out? ... or isn't that a problem.

I reuse plastic wrap, I wash ziplock bags, and try to make my money stretch as far as I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While you may be clinically insane, I wish you would talk to RW and convince her that making full use of something is an ok idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, of course. The only time I do not wash plastic is when I have stored raw meat in it. I have a drawer that has my plastic reusables in it, so my house doesn't look like a hoarder.
