With the shutdown, I can’t just run out and buy another tube of my favorite lotion when I run out. So what’s a woman to do?

Easy: I remember seeing my Mom do this years ago – get out a pair of shears, cut open the tube, and scoop out everything left into a little jar. Is it just an Appalachian thing, or do people everywhere do this?

There was still a good bit of lotion left in that tube. I’m pleased!

Use it up, wear it out, make do, or do without! I’d say this counts as using it up.
