Remembering everything on your shopping list can be a challenge, and forgetting essentials can be a real pain. That’s why some social media users are getting creative with reminders, like this clever ‘traffic light system’ for washing-up liquid.
Washing-up liquid is a kitchen essential, but running out can lead to a messy situation. One woman, Sarah Early (@sarahjoan1988 on social media), shared a simple solution she discovered online: a traffic light system using colored bottles.
Sarah uses three bottles of Fairy Liquid in green, yellow, and red. She explains, “You start with green. It’s all good, you have enough. When you go to yellow, you’re running low. Red means it’s time to go get some.”
This easy-to-understand system has gained over 7,800 views on TikTok, with users praising its genius. Some even shared their own similar methods for keeping track of essential items.
While some suggested simply buying two bottles and replacing them as one runs out, the traffic light system offers a visual reminder that’s quick and easy to understand, making it a great solution for those who struggle with remembering to restock.
