Watering things down

Hello, just wondering who else does this all the time?!
My favourite watering down trick is a cap of pine disinfectant in a sprayer of water, instead of buying endless new sprayers of that kitchen anti-bac. One bottle of disinfectant does at least 15 sprayer-fulls!
I also water down shampoo, conditioner, fabric conditioner, washing up liquid, tomato sauce, milk, certain emollient moisturisers and bubble bath. And make up. Oh, and thick bleach.
I'd be interested to hear anymore watering down tricks

Yes I do that it makes sense and costs you less .
Secret,when my husband was alive I used to put sainsburys cheaper lemonade into a schweppes bottle and he never cottoned on with a slice of lemon and an ice cube poured over his favourite Vodka ( Mind you that was sometimes poured from a cheaper bottle into a posher one )0 -
I do this a lot too! I water down shampoo, salad cream, tom sauce etc. I make a general purpose cleaner from either washing up liquid or stardrops and bleach, about 1/2 inch of each then top up with water & shake. It cleans everything beautifully. If I'm on glass I use another concoction of vinegar, washing up liquid & water
I only use half the quantity of washing liquid as well & am not bothered if I use fabric softener or not.
I'm glad its not just me that does all this stuff :T0
