    A plugger knows the rule of “waste not, want not”-get as much use out of an item as you POSSIBLY can!

    My experience is that the first 95% lasts about 3 weeks. And the remaining 5% lasts another 3 weeks.

    better yet, cut the bottom off and get the last bit out.( I have drink stirrers from the 50’s, with a little spoon on the end to scrape out the last bit possible!)

    Most floss containers are designed to flatten the toothpaste tubes.

    I have to make myself consider the cost of the time to get another brushful out of it.

    I get mine about 98% empty. Use my toothbrush to squeeze the tooth paste to the end and roll it up as needed using paper clamp to hold it. After pushing the roll all the way to the nozzle, I use the bristles of the toothbrush to dig out the last dregs in the nozzle.

    Hey marketing folks! Pluggers like brick & motar over online if we’re thinking about keeping the town thriving vs The Billionaire Guys on The Flying Space Phallus sruff. How ‘bout bringing back a few of those toothpaste tube squeezers on an impulse buying tangler? Do that and we’ll remember where we got’ em!(and a merchandise dangler is pretty much free real estate now then, isn’t it?)

    The stuff us old geezers have learned can be useful and cheap too.

    I miss the good old days when you could roll up the toothpaste tube.

    Few people can properly empty a toothpaste tube.

    I’ve been brushing twice a day for a week with an “Empty” tube. The edge of the sink squeezes it all out.

    Do like me. Cut open the tube and get at least two more weeks.
