  • radically frugal approach to hotel soaps

    My union collects those extra little bottles that collect while we travel and redistributes them to women's shelters where they are needed and welcomed.
    I had not been collecting so many soaps and shampoos because I generally jumped from two free days to another two and did not bother with housekeeping on the first night.
    Harrah's has devoted money and all its used soaps to a factory that reprocesses it and then does good things with the results.
    However, the partially used bars of soap in some places are simply thrown away.
    So, I decided simply to put my opened bar of soap and half used shampoo in a plastic bag or wrap the soap in the plastic covering of an old drinking cup and take it from one place to another on my casino hopping.
    I was amazed this trip that my first bar of the large and nicer soaps lasted me my entire trip of 15 days.
    All the rest of the little bottles I popped into my bag. At home I popped out a few for camping and the rest I'll take into the union office.

    I always pack up some of the unused soap and donate them to our local women's shelter.

      Great idea. I do the hotel hopping too on my trips and never thought about this. I never use the whole bar. I also donate some of the free shirts to the Salvation Army (such as the ones they give out at the PH free spin wheel and with other sign up bonuses).
