AND HERE WE GO AGAIN FOR ANOTHER MONTH! As usual this initial post has been shamelessly copied from the many previous months! A big THANK YOU to Itzybitzy for starting us off last month.
Welcome all newbies and regulars to this very friendly and chatty thread where we give lots of lovely tips on how to use up your stash and lots of support and encouragement if you need them.
Keep up the pampering and keep down the spending: let’s make the naughty step an empty and lonely place this month (rather than one so long that it can be seen from space)! Will this be the month when the "usual suspects" rein it in a bit? Let's see..... (but I doubt it!)
Remember - those products do nothing for you while they are locked in drawers, boxes and cupboards!
We are eternally grateful to Katie Clampet who set up this fab challenge in January 2010.
Here's her original challenge post:
"No buying any new toiletries, cosmetics, perfume etc... until I have used up ALL the ones I already have. I got a huge amount of (really nice) stuff for christmas but I am going to resist the urge to browse Boots, Asda, Superdrug etc, and pop another tub of cream, face scrub, shampoo or conditioner into my basket. I reckon the stuff I have will last me until possibly June. I have decided that the money I save I will put into my special holiday account.
Anyone else?"
Lots of us have taken part in the challenge over the past few months and are making great progress in reducing our stashes and unnecessary/excessive spending.
Regulars ignore this, but a quick resume is always helpful for newbies;
Why not add the challenge to your sig as a reminder?
We have a "Swaps Group" on Facebook when you can swap good condition items with other like-minded addicts. PM Sarah*a or xoxo or Trudji for more info on joining.
How about taking a bit of time to do a stock-take and see if there are any gaps in your stash that you might need to spend on this month? Some of us set a budget for the month for essential purchases or to help with withdrawal symptoms, others like to go cold-turkey!! Other ideas which some people find useful: Listing everything out so you can cross things off as used to increase the sense of achievement, and putting a sum of money in a pot each time you use up an item to save for something you really want, or simply to assist in making future essential purchases "cash neutral".
Remember the challenge is about making the most of your money, enjoying your products, finding which products really suit you best and are worth buying, giving yourself a well-deserved pampering and breaking the habit of buying for the sake of buying. In money-saving tradition, it should also be about making your products l-a-s-t as long as possible (although the temptation of using an unloved shower gel extravagently to finish it off is sometimes too much to bear!)
Brand new products (or opened perfume) sell well on ebay
Unsuitable products can be used for other jobs (shower gel/shampoo as handwash etc)
Some items can be returned to certain stores for exchange (for essential items or gifts!!) without a receipt
Unwanted items can be recycled as gifts or for gift hampers (saving the money you'd have spent on gifts)
Unsuitable items can be donated to charity as mentioned earlier.
It helps to avoid the places where temptation lurks for you; be it QVC, Boots, Bodyshop, the supermarket toiletries aisles, grabbit board, online toiletries browsing, seductive department store beauty counter offers etc. Remember retailers are making offers and promotions all the time, so there willl always be another deal!*
*Honest!
Good luck all for April and indeed the rest of the year, and remember to keep popping in for inspiration and support, and to report your UU's and IN's.
Especially any sales bargains - we want a nosy and to keep your stash lists updated
Welcome to all newbies - the more the merrier. Please introduce yourselves so we can welcome you properly!
Oh - and anyone thinking "OMG my stash is FAR bigger than all of theirs, I cant possibly join" - believe you me, we have been doing this challenge for well over a year some of us - you wont scare us, and I can almost guarantee that someone somewhere will have had more and survived.... we are very supportive (and protective - so dont be scared !!) oh - and we are nosey!!|

Monthly Challenge:
Since it is a new month, why not list how many products you used/stashed last month (if you have been keeping count)? If you want to, why not set yourself a target for the number of UUs, purchases or amount of money you want to spend on toiletries this year, to help you focus more on the challenge? (That's a target you are aiming not to exceed, ladies, not surpass at supersonic speed! :rotfl:)

oooh oooh Im first!!!!
Im in again for April, mostly due to my soap mountain still, and the shampoo that I have gained from a testing panel that I dont remember joining... am away for a bit this month though and have some splutterers, so should have some decent UUs before too long. Might even do myself a new stash list soon - Im all but graduated I think (would have done it months ago if it wasnt for the bloody soaps!!) but Im going to start on Reds stash next, you wont get rid of me too easily !!Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup0 -
oh - and thankyou hollylangman for starting the new thread - welcome to all our lovely shiny newbies too !!!Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup0

Hello back in again! This month I want a zero!!1!!11
No ins unless the easter bunny is very good to me I dont need anything, as I just bought a deo from tesco. Have fresh armpits will travel!0 -
thank you for starting the new thread hollylangman!
i'm def back again, aiming for just an IN of the Amarya box this month. hoping to make a real dent in the stash
my stash list may be a few days late this month, I'm in the middle of moving and theres loads sitting at my parents house that is all now supposedly mine because my mums offloaded stuff onto me0 -
Thanks Hollylangman37 for starting the new thread. I am continuing with this challenge. In March I only bought Boots makeup remover since I had nearly run out.
The only thing I am planning to buy this month over Easter is l'occitaine's facial moisturiser & serum since my Elemis moisturiser has nearly run out. Changing to l'occitaine will save me a bit of money. I have saved up for this purchase already so it feels great that I can pay for it upfront. Today I also had a brochure in the post to say that if I am spending £35 I will get a free shower oil.
Good luck to you all with this challenge.No toiletries challenge, started 18/1/2010 - Putting £1 in my savings jar for every item that I use up. Pot 1 to 4 = £261. Pot 5=£23
Boots points:£39.21. Extra money in 2012:£674.59. In 2013 £603.48. 2014: £85. 2015: £0 :j0 -

Thanks
didn't johnson and johnson used to do one? i used one a few years back because i was ghostly pale and wanted a bit of colour and i remember whichever one i used was really good and not overly dark or fake looking.0 -
oh yes count me in for April:)some ins today,tho they are march ones:rotfl:Ma griffe perfume( a smell from the past,so many years since I used it but suprisingly still like it(just as well as bought a big bottle!)a sachet of hair con(there were supposed to be two:()a nivea lippy(just what I need more lippy!!!)alos the little beauty box with a sample perfume,hand cream and 3 sachets of face stuff.
just done the BBC sex I.D test(DH managed to lose his results!)came out as a strong silent type with a male brain:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:DH could not stop laughing sooooooooo wrong my overall score was 0(average women are 50% one way and men the 50% opposite way) so God knows what that makes me:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:0 -
I am in again for April can't believe March went so quickly. I am budgeting £10 for April although I don't really need anything immediately I might need a new face cream later this month.
In March I managed to go from 209 products to 196 so very happy with progress but still a lot of work to do.VSP member #250
