Dishwasher detergent. Put about an inch of detergent in the bottle you are about to throw out. Add water. (You will not be able to fill up the bottle due to bubbles.) Use this mixture to wash the things you wash one or two at a time. This make the dish detergent last longer and you do not have to spend so much time rinsing the detergent off the dish you are cleaning.
Roll on deodorant. When you think it is running out, store it upside down. You will get another week at least.
Shampoo and conditioner. When the shampoo or conditioner will no longer easily come out of the bottle, add a little water. With conditioner, sometimes I add water a couple of times. You will need to shake the bottle to mix the water with the shampoo or conditioner. If the shampoo no longer makes bubbles, then you need to replace it. It is better to add less water to the conditioner, and maybe do it several times, as the conditioner works better when it is gloppy.
Expensive coffee drinks. You can buy the extra large, drink half of it today, and the other half tomorrow. The coffee will be cold, which is OK. If you microwave the second half, the milk will taste different. The coffee taste will be the same. You do not even have to refrigerate the drink as the milk will be OK overnight, especially if there is sugar in your drink.
Sour cream. The light sour cream in the store is usually just regular sour cream with some milk added. The price is usually exactly the same for the regular and light sour cream. If you buy the regular sour cream, you can add your own milk, and end up with a greater amount of light sour cream. I just use sour cream and milk together when I am cooking.
