I hate wasteful people!
I get homecare help twice a week for a shower. I manage to get into the shower on my own once or twice and the rest of the week I sponge bath at the bathroom sink.
Their girl who comes to help me is so wasteful when it comes to "product."
I buy the large bottle of Oil of Olay Body Wash. It's 1 Litre, basically 4 cups. It's not cheap! One bottle is something like $14.00 and while that may not seem like a lot, when you are living on a fixed income you can't go out and buy that kind of every month, nor should you need to!
I know how much I use and how long a 1 Litre bottle lasts me if I shower every single day; about 6 to 8 weeks because you don't need very much because it's very sudsy and I'm the only one using it.
She uses so much that between her usage and mine I'm lucky if a bottle lasts me 4 weeks.
I went grocery shopping on the 1st and bought some cheap store brand body wash, actually I think it's just liquid hand soap, because my budget for Octobr is extremely tight. I filled up my 500ml shower gel bottle and today when I showered before Physio I noticed that it was nearly empty! She's been here 4 times this month (I cancelled one day because of an appointment and there was a Holiday), and she's used nearly 1/2 a litre of body wash.
Let's not talk about the destruction of my bath sponges because of her rings which get caught and tear the mesh. I go through 1 or 2 per month!
I washed out my shower gel bottle and instead of refilling it I filled up a hand soap bottle with a pump dispenser. Maybe that will curb her excess waste. There is sure no reason to use almost 1/2 cup of soap in one shower!!!!!!
