I've been joked plenty of my strange habits of cutting things in half... LOL!!The "girls" have joked me for YEARS about ripping my wipes in half before using them... but I found I used HALF the amount of wipes... especially when they have such tiny little bottoms!!! When I was diapering 3 bottoms..... it was a HUGE savings:)
Well my family has been on me for YEARS about my next "confession"..... I cut my sponges in half, too!!
Maybe it started because of the size of my hands and half a sponge fits soo nic
ely in my petite hands;) Or maybe I realized that the sponge gets soo nasty sooo quickly, that by cutting them in half I could use each separately and doubling the "life" of ONE sponge;)The funniest thing was that at Christmas when my family ate at my mom's, my brother groaned when he went to wash the dishes. I thought something had happened.... LOL!!! But he said in frustration, "What's with this sponge being soo small, it's like someone cut it in half!!!!"After all those years of being a joke, my momma now cuts hers in half too;) LOL!!!

That is hilarious! We don't use sponges, but I do cut my softener sheets in half.
Oh I should see if there are things like this that I could cut in half!
LOL! I remember you doing that in college! :)
I've done this with wipes and dryer sheets, and we use select-@-size paper towels. I cut a 1" piece off of my m@gic er@ser, too, since I usually only need a small bit. I've never seen this tip about sponges, though, and will be trying it this week!
