      Watering down the remaining 7-in-1 shower product because they can’t afford to replenish supplies because the price of everything is too damn high.

        Of soap tho? Here in Germany you can buy the store brand, which is decent, for like 50 cents a bottle - which lasts you weeks.

        The brand stuff (fa, nivea, axe, old spice) is 1 to 3 euros and the luxury (rituals, loccitaine, etc) 5 to 15.

          That’s cheap. In Norway it’ll cost you at least equivalent 3$/€ for an off brand large bottle and 2$/€ for an off brand small one

          Well, it is kind of an extreme example to illustrate that OP feels like they have to save money wherever they can. Well, it might also be somewhat of a hyperbole for comedic effect, I don’t know that.

      Running a small amount of water into a nearly empty bottle of shampoo (or body wash, etc.) allows you to get the last little bit out of the bottle. It’s basically an austerity measure, a sign that a person is stretching every dollar.
