Yes, we know that this post has a pretty awkward title but let us explain. Every year, we hear about thousands of people that are spending outrageous amounts of money on stuff that either just gets flushed down the toilet, rubbed all over their teeth, or whatever. We think it’s time that this stopped and everyone started saving a little money in the most popular room in their home (next to the kitchen). Yes, we’re talking about the bathroom! Interested yet? Good! We thought that you would be. Now, let’s get started with the list.

Forget Name Brands

The first tip that we have for you is to forget about name brand products. You don’t have to entirely but who cares if your floss, q-tips, or things like that are name brand? We sure don’t and neither should you. A q-tip is a q-tip and floss is floss so stop over paying for it. We do understand though that not all tooth paste, mouth wash, and toilet paper is the same so we definitely won’t be asking you to make sacrifices in that department. Cool?

Re-Use What You Can

Great! We’re glad that you’re willing to make those changes. Now, what else can you do? Well, you can start by re-using what you can. No, you don’t have to re-use toilet paper or anything like that but why no re-use your towels? We know that you women out there like to use two towels (one for your body and one for your hair) but if they don’t get that wet, use them for an extra day. It’ll be less wear and tear on your towels, it’ll cut down on your water bill as you’ll have to wash towels less, and no one will ever even find out about it.

Buy In Bulk

Walk into any BJ’s or Price Club store and you’re bound to see some pretty awesome prices on stuff like tooth paste, mouthwash, shampoo, conditioner, and whatever else you’d find in the average bathroom. You may have to buy a lot of it but it isn’t like you won’t use it one day, right? Okay, so don’t be afraid to buy that giant bottle of conditioner or the 3 packs of mouthwash. It’ll save you money, it’ll get used, and you’ll have money to spend.

And that’s how you save money in the most important room in your house: the bathroom. Share this list with your friends, family, and anyone else that you know because we are very tired of seeing people like you (and us at one point in time) spend entirely too much money on products for their bathroom. Now, if you’re rich and don’t care about saving money, more power to you! If you’re like us though and like value, follow the tips found on this list and we swear on everything that you’ll notice a big improvement in your budget. After all, we experienced it first hand and it definitely worked. Now, go save some money!
