Cut a Tube to Get All the Cream Out

Once it's cut open, you can just reach in with your fingers to scoop the product out. The upper part of the tube fits over the lower part of the tube like a lid.

I found I could get one to two more weeks of product out of a cut-open tube. Maybe this is common knowledge already, but it was delightful news to me!

A VALUABLE TIP which will benefit folks if they took a few seconds to slow down and pay-attention to what they have in their hands.

Many containers are specifically designed to withhold product in the tubes, pump-bottles etc., Gets us buying the item again faster doesn't it? We think we are using a whole lot more than we really are and therefore, buy more often or buy a more expensive, larger size. Marketing magic.

People would be surprised how much of their product is still in the rims, bottoms, and around the top and sides of the pumps in jars and such.
Great advice.
