Tightwad Tip Tuesday: Cut Open Your Tubes

I luuuuurve Bath and Body Works lotion and shower cream. Luuuurve it. And hate when I run out. When I get to what I think is the end of the tube, I take my handy dandy kitchen shears and cut open the tube at the crimp and along the side. There is usually enough in the tube for one or two more applications. This tip will work for anything in a tube -- even toothpaste.
