Reusing Plastic Soap Dispensers

I do think that this is a good thrifty tip.

But to be honest, MartyD, I think that anyone who's been married for 54 years has a permanent free pass to buy themselves whatever "store bought" goodies catch their eye, whether it's "thrifty" or not. Seriously.

Congratulations on being both a model of thriftiness and a model of making marriage work for the long haul.

It sounds like there are a lot of us that think alike. I also don't like to throw out those nice soap dispensers. I decorate mine with seashells and put them in my bathroom. (I sent one in awhile ago.) Actually, you can decorate them with any type of theme to match. I also buy in bulk and put in my showers and label them with big letters so I can read it. I have a decorative one on my kitchen sink that looks nice but is very convenient. I also make them for little gifts and fill with hand soap. Everyone seems to like them. Thanks for your post.

Great idea. Thanks for sharing. This will save on the amount we use as well as space as I usually buy the large size bottles that don't fit well on my shower shelf!

I love this tip. With two grandchildren living with me that love the expensive bath gels this will certainly save me money. I will use this for their bath gels and shampoos. Thanks,

As I was reading this post, I thought of how much the person is like me. I found a certain dispenser shape that I liked that held liquid soap from Target and have kept it. I have refilled them many times now with cheaper hand soap as well as other things too. I still have them all over my house.

Great minds think alike, huh? Thanks for sharing and keep up the good thriftiness!

You sound as if you are like me. I use the little hand soap dispensers on the kitchen sink and fill it with hand softening dish soap. Then I can squirt it in the water without having to pick up the soap bottle. I am from DFW area of Texas. I live in TN now.

I might go ahead and splurge on a nice storebought soap dispenser for this use also.

Thanks for posting!
