Default How long do you make your samples last?

My DH somtimes gives me a strange look because usually a lunadry detergent sample lasts me 2-3 loads, same with shampoo, and body wash. I was just wondering if I was weird for getting the most use as possible out of these sample sizes. I figure when I use laundry deterget, usually only use about a third of a capful, so that's about three uses from a sample... Anyone else do this?

I do this too. No sense in wasting it. I can usually get 2 shampoos and sometimes 3 out of a sample. And conditioner, alot more than that, since I don't use much.

Shampoo - definately 2 -3 uses. Conditioner - I need at least twice this amount for my hair.

Toothpaste lasts about a week.

Lotions are 1-2 uses depending on the size and the consitancy.

I also get numerous uses out of one sample. No need to waste good product.

I do the same thing! You don't want to be wasteful, just because its free! I try to be a good steward of whatever I've been given.
