I have a tip - stay well away from the shopping thread!!!! 

best tip I have heard all week!!! 

I cringe before I open that thread 

[Moo2]

The shopping thread is scary. It shows me all these things that I had no idea I needed until I read about them.

[judydawn]

Yes, but it is soooo much fun girls. I have bought more stuff for my kitchen since that thread started than I had in years but it all gets used so I must have needed them

2 x toothpaste dispensers of eBay about $ 15 total including postage. Was sick of the 4 kids putting toothpaste literally everywhere except their mouths.  It delivers a pea sized amount, perfect for kids, saves on toothpaste and MESS!!!

Meagan I think your tip is one of the best.

That shopping thread is sending me broke 
I now need an ice cream maker, some cut resistant gloves and I want all the lovely pretty girly things maddy buys.

oh now I DO NEED a couple of those, my little ones go through nearly a tube a fortnight as it is more in the basin and down the drain than in their mouths. Nothing worse than dried on toothpaste if they happen to be the last in the bathroom for the morning  Off to ebay I go

We use an electric toothbrush and you can only get a small amount onto that, so less waste.

[faffa_70]

lol it's not the amount on the toothbrush, its the amount that is everywhere else when they are trying to get it on the toothbrush 

[Cuilidh]

Aaahhhhh, yes, I can see how that could be a problem!

I just put this on the shopping thread but maybe this info needs to go here . . .moderators:  please feel free to delete if the doubling up in not appropriate.

Apparently there are some really competitive online grocery sites being launched . . . .

Have a look at these!  saveonbrands boasts nothing over a dollar!!  Not sure how they do it . . but that's what they say . . .
