CHEAPSKATE TIP #2: TOOTHPASTE

Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!

Your alarm clock goes off. Ugh, time for class. You hit the off button then groggily sit up. You yawn. You shuffle into the bathroom rubbing your bleary eyes.

Still half-asleep, you reach for your toothbrush and tube of toothpaste. You squeeze some toothpaste onto your toothbrush. 

Huh? What the...

You're suddenly wide awake. Your eyes bulge out of its sockets. To your horror, nothing is coming out! 

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Okay, okay! So I'm being a little dramatic. But we all know it really sucks when there's no other tube of toothpaste and you have to leave for school or work. No one wants to smell your morning breath.

I love me some Crest!

Here's a very simple method of saving yourself in this situation and making the most out of them dollas you spent on your tube of toothpaste. Don't be fooled when you can't squeeze anything out of the tube. Cut it in half! You'll find there's an adequate amount of toothpaste in both halves to last you at least two more days:

This is just one half of the tube. You can see the other half in the top right corner.

I suggest you not re-dip your toothbrush in the half tube without having washed it for obvious sanitary and hygienic reasons. 

So there you have it! A solution to when the toothpaste is done AND a way to make the most out of your money.
