Trial Sizes

I had someone ask me why I "purchase" the trial size deodorants, lotions, shampoos, toothpaste, and body washes. I do so for a few reasons:

• I keep these in my bag that I take to the Y so I don't have to use the full-size of each.
• I pack these when we travel so we don't have to pack the full-size bottles of each and we can throw away the empty containers before we head home.
• I place these in the Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes.
• I like having these on hand when we have visitors (like my stepson's friends) who forget to bring these items with them.
