Save money by collecting and re-using your deodorant stubs (ends).
For years, every time I used a stick of deodorant, I would cringe when I threw away the container with that last little bit (nub) of deodorant on the stick. It seemed like such a waste! There must be some way to save it, or add it to the next stick.
Well luckily over the years, through trial and reading others ideas on the subject, I have come up with what I think is the best solution for this problem:
Take out that last nub from your deodorant container and place it in a zip freezer bag. Do this with the next few nubs. Depending on how much is left on your nubs, collect anywhere from 5 to 20 of these deodorant leftovers. When you have enough, simply throw the bag in a bowl and melt them down in the microwave. Be sure to place the bag in a bowl as a precaution in the unlikely event that the bag breaks. Now pour the liquid content back into one of your old deodorant containers. Be sure to put some plastic under the container as your pour. Let the liquid cool for a few hours, and presto, you have a new container of deodorant! Best of all, you haven’t thrown that last little bit into the land fill.
