    Me, I use vacuform pipettes for replenishing inkjet printer cartridges, one for the same colour so no need to wash.
    The ink cartridges themselves have a had several lives now in the printer.
    What about use once stuff you've used again and again.

    Medicine spoons.
    Plastic bags.
    Shower gel bottles. I keep the hangy ones and just refill them from normal unhangy bottles.

    I shave maybe once a week, but sometimes I get a couple of months out of single use razors.

    not quite single use, but toothbrushes are supposed to be changed every 3 month.
    I reckon most are replaced every 3 years if lucky

    Any sort of filter for any appliance (change monthly? yeah right...)

    Over the stingy thread there was a guy who used a cloth to wipe his ass, and rinsed it after every use, rather than 'waste' money on toilet paper. :eek:

    If your blowing through underwear after each use, you may need to seek medical advice.

    He never mentioned having any teeth , he might be just gummin' the bristleless tooth brush around his mouth.

    Those bags that you get for making toasties. You are only supposed to use them a couple of times but they seem to last forever.

    I'd say most people use them a few times but a couple of months is a lot of use. I suppose it depends on how much growth you get. Do they not start to hurt though?
