Most Helpful Hints: Saving Money in the Bathroom

Here are a few hints that will help with saving you money in the bathroom:

Don't use liquid hand soap. You're paying extra for the water in the container. Buy bar soap instead.
Use the cheapest shampoo you can find. The active ingredient in every single shampoo is the same thing: detergent. If you can force yourself to do it, using watered down dish detergent is even cheaper than the cheapest shampoo, and it gets your hair just as clean as the most expensive shampoo.
Take bar soap out of the box and let it dry out for a few days (or weeks) before using it. It will last much longer this way, and you will eventually need fewer bars of soap.
Make pantihose soap: collect the ends of the soap bar that are too small to use and save them. When you have collected the ends of 3 or 4 bars of soap, put them in the foot of an old, unusable pair of pantihose. Cut off the foot and tie it tightly, using heavy thread, thin string, or a rubber band. Make as small a package as possible. You now have a bar of "pantihose soap" which will last you almost as long as a new bar of soap, and it has a built-in "derm-abrasion" texture which will help slough off old dead skin even better than a "naked" bar of soap. (If you don't have access to old pantihose, you can use cheesecloth, or an old, unravelling shower scrubby.)
