Some frugal folks simply amaze me with their ingenuity. What a money saver this is!
In order to make sure that no toothpaste is wasted, just freeze it, cut away the tube, dice it into individual servings. Put the single-serving cubes in a plastic bag and store them in the freezer until needed. When you’re ready to brush, just take one out, thaw it, and brush away! No wasted toothpaste EVER.
Finished product looks like this:
Colors may vary depending on what brand of toothpaste you freeze. For more efficiency you can number them. The ones below are scheduled for use during the month of June.
Send us photos of your toothpaste cubes and let us know how much money YOU saved by being frugal with toothpaste, and we’ll include them in a future post.

My favorite tip is to pry the dollops of dried toothpaste off the sink and use them as after-dinner mints!

Oooh. Dollops. One of my favorite words. “To pry the dollops” is one of my favorite phrases, too. Rain, once again you made my day.

My mother has always said that you never know what’s going to happen when you get up in the morning. I got up this morning and never knew that ny 10am GMT I’d learn how to freeze toothpaste, save money by doing so or recycle dried bits of spat-out paste into after dinner mints. I feel quite enlightened.

Simply brilliant, but maybe you should get the Myth Busters to blow it up or brush busters teeth first to make sure it’s safe for human use

With my aspergers I am sarcasm impaired…Is the dollop thing sarcasm? I hope so… but is it?

Pasties– “Dollop” is just a funny word to me. It’s not so much sarcasm as inanity.
