    Refill empty bottles with either watered-down handwash or washing-up liquid. Most of the dispensers give you miles too much with each squirt!

    Buy a suds pump...like this one http://www.pamperedchef.com/our_products/catalog/product.jsp?productId=1780&categoryCode=KW

    I'm sure they must do cheaper ones somewhere, but can't find any off the top of my head.

    You use about 1cm hand wash in the bottom, then fill it up with water. Then it gives you a foamy handwash (like Kandoo, and I think Radox do one). Makes handwash last ages!

    I have successfully used cheap bubblebath, no one seemed to notice any difference!;)

    I use cheap bubble bath instead of shower gel, just a drop on a sponge or scrubber and away you go, it lasts for ages........half a bottle poured into a pump dispenser and filled up with water use as handwash.

    You can get packets of soap flakes, which are great for handwashing. I've seen them in various supermarkets and, I think, Wilkinsons.
