Good Day Orlando and it will
take you to the question. And
then we're going to go over the
answers coming up here a little
later on in the show. Yeah. All
right. That'll be interesting to
see okay. You are wasting money
without even realizing it. We
don't like that right I believe
it. Yeah it is all the time.
That could be me. Probably all
right. That sounds right. So
it's actually one. It's a lot of
that. Money wasting is actually
in common products within your
house. Okay. And the big
question is, is it because
you've been tricked into how
much to use former reporter
Steve Noviello live with us this
morning with the savings that
could add up to 75. Steve, you
have my attention. Yeah, quite a
I'll admit I too have been
fooled here. And we're going to
see if you guys have. Okay. So I
want to start with first thing
in the morning toothpaste. Okay.
So when you're applying
toothpaste to the brush where
you go you going edge to edge.
How much are you using. No I use
just a little dollop. I don't go
edge to edge I don't either. I'm
like halfway. Yeah. Yeah. Like
halfway. Probably half the half
of the toothbrush. Take a look
at the video that we've got for
you. You can see like the
conventional wisdom you know
associated with toothpaste
advertisements. I mean it is
edge to edge all day right. In
fact some of them, they've got
that little you know dairy Queen
soft serve flourish on the end
making you think like, I've got
to use a lot of this stuff to
get my teeth cleaned. But
recommend a pea sized amount of
toothpaste for kids. It's
actually the size equivalent to
a grain of rice. So if you're
going edge to edge folks. Yeah
you're using four times as much
toothpaste as you should, which
means you are running out four
times as often, which means you
are buying it four times as
often. And you really don't need
to. All right. Moving into the
shower now, let me just say
there's a lot of hair on the
sofa this morning. Let's see the
three of you. Okay. Literally So
work with me here. Okay. With
you on this one. Okay. How much
are we using? I mean, are we
talking nickel quarter like you
just keep squirting until you
moment is right? The whole palm
of my hand. The hand of the hand
I need, like, a puddle in the
puddle. And then. Steve, it's so
nice. We got to do it twice. I
do it twice, I shampoo twice. I
can only imagine the amount of
hairspray that went into Good
Day extra this morning. Okay, a
nickel, a nickel sized amount is
all they say you need now. Again
y'all have big, beautiful hair,
right? I mean, you've got the
I'm assuming there's a lot of
spray happening, you know, for
the show. So maybe you you go up
to a quarter or a half dollar
size, but folks, really a nickel
is all you need. Okay, let's
move on to laundry detergent.
Are you guys pods or are you
liquid? I'm liquid. Liquid Okay,
perfect. When you use the
measure the cap as a measuring
cup. How full are you filling? I
actually never know. This is
something I'm curious to know
because I'm like, if I have
more, more than half for me.
Yeah I do more than half. I
don't use the cup. I just pour
in and I pour until it's, oh
gosh, no. Okay, so here so
think a lot of people say, okay,
well I just use the cap. I mean
that's what it's for, right? If
you look very closely it says
one, two, three, four, five
telling me that this could be
five times as much detergent as
you actually need for a load. So
here is the conventional wisdom.
Two tablespoons is all you need
to get your clothes clean. In
fact, in this case, more is not
more because when there's too
much detergent in the wash, it
actually sticks to the fabric of
your clothes because it has
nowhere else to go. Which then
makes them look dingy because
dirt under it. And sometimes
your clothes come out dirtier
than when you put them in. Okay
final one for you dishwasher
detergent. Are you guys pods or
liquid pods? Pods? Yeah, pods
also. Okay, but back in the day,
I was liquid. Now, if you we all
know what the reservoir looks
like, I assume it's that size,
because that's how much you're
supposed to use. And by the way,
then they've got that little
like bonus ancillary section as
well, which makes you think,
okay, if I really want this
stuff to sparkle, I've got to
fill up this and fill up this.
Absolutely not. 1 to 2
tablespoons is all you need when
it comes to liquid dishwashing
detergent, especially if you're
like me, I can't do what they do
in the commercials. I can't put
a Pyrex pan that I just baked.
Lasagna in directly into the
dishwasher. I got to wash it
first, right? So I'm totally
wasting if I'm using anything
more than 1 to 2 tablespoons,
