    I don't know if this is really a brag but I was super duper excited to find a way to save money and reduce my waste with my lysol no touch soap dispenser. I know a lot of people picked these up because of the rebate.

    Each soap refill is like $5 and I refuse to pay that so I googled how to refill the dispenser instead of buying a new one and found some cool ideas on how to refill the little containers.

    I ended up just popping the lid off with a butter knife and it worked like a charm!!! I even made a video!! I would totally recommend anyone doing this because its going to save you money and reduce a lot of waste!

    If you want to check it out stop by my blog and see it there (the link is below) soooo excited!!! lol it doesn't take much

    I have been doing this with mine for quite some time - my family calls me cheap, thats okay I am the one saving. I can tell you that we have been refilling ours for more than a year with absolutely no problems.
    Good for you for making a video to share with everyone - it did not occur to me to share the knowledge.

    That's great news, I was hoping we would be able to refill it. I too refuse to pay that much for a refill.

    Great idea! I've read that some ppl have drilled holes into the top of their refill to reuse it, but this seems like a much better way, thanks!

    I have been doing this as well. hubby made fun of me saying I'm going to cut my fingers off, it took a few tries the first time for mine to come off but now it comes off very easy

    I haven't had to refill yet, but I'm excited for when I do. Imagine all the wonderful smelling seasonal soaps you can put in there! Or if you've got lots already, make one into a LOTION dispenser, or SANITIZER!

    I did this too the other day and used the free dove hand soap that I got from the dollarama!! I was worried about hurting myself with the butter knife and prying it off because last time I tried to pry the top off of a foundation bottle (pump kind, was not made to come off!) with a butter knife, (just had to use up that last little bit!) I ended up in the hospital getting stitches on my finger!! I had dh pry it off this time!

    yuppers thats the one! I was not convinced it was that easy since most of the other videos involved drilling and other things...thanks so much for such a great idea and it looks like there are a lot of others doing this...little did I know lol

    Thanks for this!!
    My aunt just bought 7 of the refills because they were on sale and she was sad you couldn't refill them, she will be quite upset when I tell her!

    May I ask, how did you get the dove soap free at dollerama? Do you live near a dollerama that accepts coupons?????


    Awesome brag!!
    In 2010/11 I used over $7700 in coupons!
    My 2012 goal is $6000 in coupons!
