Turn up sauce/ketchup/squeezy bottles to drain into the lid. I get another 2 weeks at least from squeezies. Dad used to add a little vinegar to sauce/ketchup, give it a good shake and hey presto! another week of use. Also toothpaste: turn up the bottom and press the paste gently to the top. I've had 6 weeks more use out of my sensodyne tube
