Ever get the foam up soaps from Bath and Body Works or Soft Soap? What I do to refill them is buy the regular liquid soap refills and pour 3 oz of it and mix it with water. It is way cheaper and works just as effectively as a foam pump. Just another way to re-use a container. If you use bar soaps to wash your hand you can put all the remnants in a blender with water. Puree it and put in a hand soap container and use it that way.

Remember eating crab at the beach or eating something messy and spreading newspaper as a table cover? We have been using a few magazines as place mats and each time we eat we turn a few pages over and it’s clean again.
