Never throw a tube of toothpaste or hand cream out without first cutting opening the tube and you will be surprised how much toothpaste remains in the tube (perhaps a weeks' worth). Also when you think your shampoo is empty add 150 ml water and shake the bottle, there will be enough for one more wash or condition. This tip works for most soapy items.
