    You haven’t felt the struggle until you’ve taken the baking soda from the kitchen to brush your teeth with until payday. Extra points if it was a refrigerator deodorizer.

      One time I was so broke that I smashed my gel deodorant with a hammer to get to the last of it that wouldn’t come out by twisting the dispenser wheel. Then I used my hands to apply the gel for a few days to get me through to pay day.

      I was watching the show Good Times about the struggle of poor black family. But after some episodes I felt it wasn’t realistic and the family isn’t really poor.

      Be cautious with doing this too often though. Baking soda has the same hardness as dentin and can wear away teeth with exposed dentin even more.
