No buying new toiletries etc until.....

Just out the shower and finished off my Aussie Miracle Moist conditioner and used a free mini shower gel instead of any of my good stuff, of which there is a ridiculous amount!. Another thing everyone in my house is guilty of is not binning bottles that are done, so that will be another part of this new regime - 2 empties now in the bathroom bin!

Oh god, I've got more stuff to add to my stash. Now, in my defence I didn't buy it, but I've just received a tube of Aveeno to test and a packet of face wipes. Now why is it I can walk through Boots and resist buying more, but when an email comes through with an invitation to test something I'm in there?

Still, at least they'll get used up pretty quickly, but it means the other stuff is still sat there. At least I was getting close to needing some wipes.

On the up side, finished the Dove Spa mask last night.

Lostinrates, I used to use the Playtex ones. I'm sure I've seen them somewhere recently, maybe Tesco. If not, the Tampax Pearl are similar. I used to get some called Femtex, which my husband was convinced were called Semtex! :rotfl:

I have no new toiletries :A

I bought a new toothbrush last night in morrisons, on offer at £1 and I needed a new one. Resisted the 5 for £3 bubble bath that they had.. though I may have had 2 in my basket and then removed them :cool: And the olay 7 seven signs of ageing facial exfoliator for £1.60 :eek:

However I do have 4 new pairs of joggers and a new pair of trainers are currently winging their way to me

Thank you! I'll keep an eye open next time I'm in tesco, and try the others. I'd love to have tampons called semtex!:D

Can I join as well please. Someone directed me to this thread and this is just what I need. Buying toiletries is my weakness and I can easily spend a fortune on this. ...

just found this thread,all the time I thought I was the only one with the problem"serious overbuying of goodies whilst on offer" so good to know I am not alone! ......

Is this purely a female thing?any men out there who hoard???

I WILL try and stop buying ,maybe we should band together and call when the urge to buy takes over:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Welcome to you all!! And I think this is a purely female thread so far, can't see any men joining it tbh!!! They are far more sensible than us...

No new toiletries bought today, wayhey! And I added the £6 to my savings pot last night, it's up to £30 so far so I am very impressed! I should have a separate savings pot for the times when I spend and compare the two every so often to see which is higher :rotfl:

Uhuh, DH is following, I've told him about it, and he's not reading the thread throuroughly but he's signed up. Most of our unused stuff comes in via him. He cant resist a bargain bin, and, I am a very lucky girl in that he loves to buy me gifts...just often gets skin/hair type etc wrong. He is also a bit metro sexual, and moisturises thoroughly, and has psoriasis, and likes to use stuff in addition to his prescription body moisturisers. Men, or man, is very very bad in this house. (My dad in contrast, has only ever used two types of shampoo, the second because he first was discontinued, and things moisturiser is getting wet.)

Hi ladies, well used up some little samples today so pleased with myself

La rochay posy tolerant cream thingy? Wiba no was too light, maybe in the summer when my stash has gone down a bit?
Ysl radiance balm thing serum?Wiba Oooh yes please this is gorgeous and skin feels lovely, not sure how much it is but will have to finish my other facial oil/ serums/ balms first so it will be a while before i get some:(.

Feeling a bit under the weather today so gonna warm up my wheat bag stick it on my chest and have a cuppa on the sofa.

Hope you all have a lovely day

Hi everyone! Can I join the thread? I have a shelf full of half-used toiletries that is doing my head in every time I look at it! I finished off a tube of hair removal cream the other night so that's one thing in the bin at least. Shame I still have two more unfinished ones though!
