Assuming you use soap...

...and its a bar rather than the liquid sort. When its wearing rather thin, do you
A. Throw it away and start another bar?
B. Stick with it to the bitter end and use it all before opening another?
or C. Like me, and open another bar and stick that really skinny remaining sliver to the new bar and get real value?
Mean? Me? No just watching the pennies!

Re: Assuming you use soap...

I don"t like bars of soap , however, Mr A does so when the bar is getting to the end I change it for a fresh one. The fragrance seems to fade at the end .

I use shower gel mostly, but do like a nice bar of soap now and again. Always end up chucking it away though if it gets dry and cracked

You didn't mention where you have your soap?
So in the kitchen I have liquid soap and for the bathroom

I would come out in a rash so have to be careful with soap
Normally use Palmolive as it is not very scented.

Re: Assuming you use soap...

I have always stuck the old bar to the new one, never thought there was any other way. Certainly not to save money, let's face it you get 8 bars for about $2.50 (£1.25). what is there to save?

Re: Assuming you use soap...

Only use a bar of soap in the bath and has to be Pears but the fragrance has changed a bit since I first started using it years ago. I throw it away when it's too thin to use.
Liquid soap everywhere else.

One tablet cost the same as the packet of 8 pure soaps.
