"These tips have been saving us both money and time:
We
use a combined shampoo/conditioner. We save money because only one
bottle needs to be purchased instead of two separate bottles. The
conditioning step is eliminated, thus saving time. Wholesale clubs
(i.e., Costcos, BJ's) often sell economy size bottles of a selection of
combined shampoo/conditioner brands.
I
use a combined powder/foundation makeup instead of separate liquid or
creme foundation plus powder. I save money by buying only one cosmetic
item instead of two. Time is saved because the liquid or creme
foundation application step is eliminated. I have found that the
combined powder/foundation goes on thick enough to cover what the liquid
or creme would have.
My
husband uses 100% aloe vera gel in place of men's aftershave. We
purchase a large container of aloe vera gel towards the end of the
summer when the sun care products are on clearance. A large enough
container could last through the following year. Additional benefits of
aloe gel are the mild scent, it doesn't burn, it's soothing to sensitive
skin. Women can also use it after shaving legs.
Many
different brands of makeup are manufactured by the same limited number
of subcontractors. Keep this in mind when selecting cosmetics. A
considerable amount of money can be saved without sacrificing quality
when selecting cosmetics from brands offered in the supermarket or
WalMart versus the brands sold at expensive department store counters.
Time is saved picking up cosmetic items at the supermarket when grocery
shopping (look for those coupons!).
