Pluggers by Rick McKee for May 16, 2020

You got that right.

“Waste not, want not.”

Nothing wrong being frugal……

What is she doing in the bathroom?

The bench vise is in the garage.

Called isometric exercise for the hands.

By the looks of it she’s got at least a weeks worth left in the tube!

A good pair of pliers will work too.

Toothpaste arithmetic. The first 95% lasts about a month, the remaining 5% lasts another month.

There’s enough on her brush for three brushings!

And muscle rub.

That is WAY TO MUCH paste she pressed out. All you need is a pea size amount. AND use a toothpaste key. Liked the scissor comment above

Yep that’s me. I flatten and roll the tube to the end and then use my thumb to push behind the opening to get the last dregs out. Use a paper clamp to keep the tube from unrolling.

Waste not, want not!

I don’t bother with toothpaste anymore. My teeth are like stars…they come out at night. A glass, a denture tablet and some warm water. Next morning, minty fresh!

The Dollar Tree (everything’s a dollar) sells a plastic tube roller that works great. Mine has lasted many years. Really squeezes everything out.

From the looks of that tube, she’s about a month early for that. Then again, what do I know? I don’t put a three-inch bead on my brush like I’m expecting to caulk a tub with it.

Way way way too much toothpaste for a single brushing. We pluggers are MUCH more frugal than that.

You should see me with a carton or bag of milk.

For what they charge, you bet your bippy, Bucky!

Cut open the empty tube and you can get another 2 weeks out of it.
