Is it ok to use multiple retinoids on alternating days?

Due to insurance, I've switched retinoids a few times. Now I have a bunch of unused bottles and I don't want them to go to waste. I've heard of people using different retinoids on alternating days but never with more than two. Would it be ok for me to use Adapalene 0.3% three days a week, Tazorac 0.1% two days a week, and Tretinoin 0.025% two days a week until I run out of the old bottles? Or would that not give each retinoid enough time to work properly?
