Getting The Last Out Of Pump Bottles

I treat myself to a very expensive facial care system that includes 2 small pump bottles; one for the morning and one for the evening. One bottle normally does me 2 months. Near the end of the bottle, the pump no longer reaches the cream but I can see that there is still cream there. I turn the bottle over and allow the contents to drip into the lid that comes with the bottle. By doing this, I get an extra 2 - 3 weeks of cream. Since this is quite expensive to begin with ($30.00 for one 1.5 oz bottle on sale), the extra I gain is very welcome.

Yeah and I like the St Ives Apricot scrub and when it wont come out I just take scissors and slice the end off and get the rest out ---

Another thing I do is mix a cheap hair conditioner with an expensive one. Like Suave(1.00) with Thermasilk. I don't like wasting the stuff in the bottoms of bottles and turn them upside down and add to something else always. I had 2 conditioners that were empty so I mixed in a bit of water and got the rest out and added it to my leave in hair conditioner spray --- I find this works a lot better than just having the leave in conditioner by it's self.

I have also had the same problem at times and I've extended the pump tube by adding a piece of drinking straw to the end...this usually does the trick in getting the rest of the cream/lotion from the bottom of the bottle...
