46. I rarely use hotel soap

Mon Apr 25, 2022, 09:31 PM

Apr 2022

Only if I'm on vacation and staying long enough to use it up. Most of my trips are one to two days, so it would go to waste. I have a small bottle of liquid soap that I refill at home and use that. So I just leave the hotel soap there, unopened. Some are pretty big bars to use once and be wasted.
