Tip # 65 The Use Less Principle

The next time you use something consumable, pay attention to the amount you are using, and ask yourself if you could be using less of it. This could apply to any number of things, including shampoo, face wash, shaving cream, paper towels, laundry detergent, salad dressing, toothpaste, and this list goes on. By paying attention to this, I've realized that I've been using way too much face wash and shampoo. By only using a small amount, I am able to work up quite a lather, and these two bottles have lasted me almost twice as long as they normally do.
