10 Money Wasters (and how to stop the waste)

<p><strong>Serving Trays for Products</strong></p> <p>When you are performing a service, think about using serving trays to regulate how much product is being used. This works especially well if you are buying products in bulk. Take a scrub for example. Instead of squeezing it out of a tube or taking it out of a small container in front of the customer, scoop it out from the large bulk-size container in the back and put it into a nice serving tray. This way you can keep track of how much each tech is using for a service, and the serving trays look more professional to clients.</p>

In tough times, little things count, and small efforts to save a bit of money here and there can add up over time. Every day there are opportunities to save, and it’s really easy to do once you identify where the waste is happening. From buying bulk sizes to shopping for furniture at a swap meet, these little things can make a difference in your budget.
