Do you squeeze the very last bit out of your toothpaste? Don’t bother. Last drop values...

Frugal people may be tempted to use every last bit of toothpaste or shampoo – but it’s hardly worth the effort. 

The people at The Simple Dollar did some last drop math and for most products, you’re only saving fractions. For example, the average tube of toothpaste costs $3 and there are 50 uses in there. That last use which may take a lot of effort to get out of the tube will save you about six cents. You’ll save even less on the last drop of shampoo. Bargain brands boil down to about five cents per use and the more expensive stuff may be worth leaving the bottle upside down for.
