No Buying Unnecessary ToiletriesDecember 2014

maddiemay · 30 November 2014 at 3:52PM

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 Babafette 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 stashed 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 years!!) 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 signature as a reminder?

We have a "Swaps Group" on Facebook when you can swap good condition items with other like-minded addicts. PM your email address to Trudij, Tokkiandoliver, seasideDreamer or luvlycake and they can add you to the group.

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 extravagantly to finish it off is sometimes too much to bear!).

Brand new products (or opened perfume) sell well on eBay.

Unsuitable products can be repurposed and 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 or a local women's refuge as mentioned earlier

It helps to avoid the places where temptation lurks for you; be it QVC, Boots, Body Shop, 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 will always be another deal! Honest!

Good luck all for March and indeed the coming months, and remember to keep your stash lists updated, keep popping in for inspiration and support and to report your UU's and IN's, especially any sales bargains - we want a nosy!

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 don't be scared !!) oh - and did we mention that are nosy??!!

Useful abbreviations and jargon!

WBA - Will Buy Again
UU - Use Ups
IN - Self explanatory - stuff you've gained into your stash - warning: lines may be given out for unnecessary purchases or you may be sent to the naughty step!
NBI - A non-bought item such as a present, gift with purchase or free sample
WNBA - Will Not Buy Again!
Glitch - when a shop/online store make a pricing mistake so you end up paying less or even get freebies!
PYN(M/T/W/Th/F/Sa/Su) DELETE AS APPROPRIATE! - Paint Your Nails Monday/Tuesday...... it allows everyone to try and finish those dastardly nail varnishes with group support! You can never be too groomed for this thread. Also see PY(T)N... - for toenails!
Splutterer - the stage where an item is nearing the end of it's life and spluttering - also the most annoying and seemingly never ending stage!
GWP - Gift With Purchase - a sample or mini sized item
HG - Holy Grail - this is the product you would go back for time and time again, it does the job brilliantly, and is either economical, or so fantastic price becomes no object!
NPI - Near Purchasing Incident (OMG we all have those!)
LHJ - Long Haul Job - for those products - love 'em or hate 'em - that never seem to end no matter how often you use them
PRCP - Pink Rose Candle Philosophy inspired by Erma Bombeck who said: 'If I had my life to live over again I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose that melted in storage'. Don't keep things 'for best' or 'for a special occasion'. That day never arrives. Give the best to yourself now and enjoy it. (Thanks to McCulloch29 for introducing this thought provoking sentiment to us)
GA - for an out that was given away to charity, as a present, or "just because" rather than binned or UU
TA - for an out that was thrown away due to going off (generally as it has been lurking at the back of a stash since time immemorial) or for any other reason such as a broken container or spillage
PP - Project Pan: a list of specific items targeted to be used up

If anyone can think of any more we can add to the list so newbies won't be intimidated by our jargon!

Graduates

Here is a list of our lovely,fragrant ladies who have polished and pampered their way through their products and managed to get their toiletries stash under control. Ladies - congratulations, you are an inspiration to the rest of us, xx . Thanks also to InaPickle who suggested we start the Graduate list.

Well aren't I good, my brother called this morning to ask what I wanted from Neal's Yard for Cmas (he just found out he gets staff discount). I quickly answered before I was tempted, that I had far too much to get through still, and that maybe we should spend the money on an evening out instead. Whew, that was close!

anamenottaken · 30 November 2014 at 6:31PM

Please count me in for December.
(I know I've been tempted recently so committing here may help my resolve.)

cw18 · 30 November 2014 at 6:43PM

I'm in - and hope to be starting tomorrow morning with my first UU for the month which would be encouraging

peedie · 30 November 2014 at 7:10PM

Hiya
PLEASE can I join you all again I was part of this challenge several years ago and was doing really well.:(
Seems though that I have lapsed badly without knowing.
Today I was looking for a particular shade of nail varnish and couldn't find it, the thought occurred to me that I HAD to go out and find the shade I wanted. I took a double take and saw the heap of bottles of polishes heaped on my bed. There were 257 of them( no kidding) so have spent the day listing the different makes and colours. I then went on to list the shower gels (17 super sizes) and the 39 tubes of hand cream. I am not an octopus!!!!!!
I need to get a grip
Things stuck in my airing cupboard for best are not going to do me any good or give me pleasure if I keep them as a stash. Not using them but keeping them for best, only to buy in multiples , my everyday replacements when they are on offer.
It needs to stop:o

ruby_eskimo · 30 November 2014 at 7:21PM

Thanks for starting a new thread maddiemay. I'm back again, as staying here helps me avoid temptation!

Thank you Maddiemay.

I don't know if I would be any better or worse than if I did not post. I never seem to resist things.:D

Pleut · 30 November 2014 at 7:42PM

I'm in again. Not that you ladies are anything other than a bad influence on me :P

May I request you fix the title though please? Many thanks.

Count me in for December, or at least until Boxing Day:money::money:

UU - Original Source Pink Grapefruit showergel. WDBA - we both loved it, only downside was it only lasted 2 or 3 weeks because we were both using it.
UU -Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation Beige Clair Complimentary Sample 0.95ml - WNB too greasy for my skin, glad I got to try a small sample first

I got some samples with an order I made, so INs:
Nuxe Multi purpose dry oil sachet sample
Garnier Body Oil Beauty sachet sample
Also found myself in the clearance section of Boots so...
Max Factor metallic bronze cream eyeshadow IN
Color Show Vinyl nail polish - a proper pure red
L'Oreal sequin explosion nail polish
Got a few splutterers, some shampoo, conditioner, creams, blusher, etc. A few lip balms all low in the pan but seemingly lasting forever. Hoping to finally finish these soon.
