No buying new toiletries etc until.....

Blonde_Ambition

Hi. Found two identical body moisturisers, both half used, so have decanted one into the other and now just have to finish the dregs then soon I'll have got rid of one bottle! So excited!

I already have stashes of hand cream all over the place, trouble is each one lasts for ages that way!

I got a S&G hatbox for Christmas and was quite overwhelmed by what a lovely present it was. Am feeling quite relieved that hopefully the person got it in Boots half-price! I still love it. Quite tempted to buy one as a present for someone else!

5 toiletries used up today! Woo-hoo!

Hi ladies looks like your doing well and must say i feel a lot less stressed that im not missing the latest bargain in boots lol , how idiotic is that seeing as my toiletries are probably gonna last into the forseeable future:o. Returned another load of stuff to Mr b yesterday, mainly stuff bought with points and will put those points to use when i actually NEED toiletries or essentials instead of paying cash, at this rate i will be able to afford a weekend B&B away with the family in a month or so time :eek: with what i save. I reckon including nappies and wipes etc i spent around £25 a week in boots:eek:. Gonna attempt doing a list this week, but have started ebaying some of the unopened makeup and body butters as i use these the least. Good luck everyone and be strong.

The things I would have wanted at boots seem sold out, so some relief on the challange there.

I have complete a tub of body cream. Have one on the go which I don't love that much, and another I do. Also finished the dregs of two pots of moisturiser over the last couple of days.

The other thing I'venoticed we have is a collection of foot creams/heel balms that are not quite finished up. I'm going to make sure I do my feet every night this week without fail!

I tend to use the same one the whole time else I never get rid of them. I like small amount of extra space it creates as much as anything else. :j

I have not started well! Needed some cough mixture ect. so went to Boots. They gave me a token for £5 off NO7. Needed some more Protect and Perfect serum so thought I would buy that. Then saw No7 was 3 for 2 so also bought 2 cleansers (which I did need). Right going to stay away from Boots now on. Am I still allowed in the challenge?

Hia HL - maybe see if there's a homeless shelter (or Salvation Army shop) near you that may welcome deodorants.

There's 3 men in the house so it probably won't last that long really but thanks for the idea. Youngest sprays about half a can each time, lol. Sprays his body and then sprays his whole self as he's walking out of the house!!!

Course you are! It's good to get right back into it even after a slip-up (like I had the day before yesterday!). :A

im in, ive still got a couple of nice big pamper boxes of toiletries i got the christmas before this one that i havent even started on:o and i have baskets full of lush in my cupboards.
i will have a good sort out so i know what i have and get a use up rota started instead of thinking ive run out so buying new and putting that in the bathroom to use instead of checking the cupboards first and leaving the stuff i have tucked away

Well Ive been really good so far I have not purchased any unnescessary toiletries and its been such a test as boots have so many great reductions on toiletries at the mo:rotfl:, I dont have as many toiletries as I used to, as I decided that I would use up most things before buying anymore and that I would not open a new bottle/ jar/pot you name it unless I finished the the old one first, this seems to work pretty well. Also I have joined a number of beauty swap sites which is great because you can swap unwanted beauty products for ones that you prefer, Last Year I only bought myself 2 bottles of perfume the rest I swapped for and it saved me a small fortune, as the year before I bought a new perfume every month, bit of an addict I was lol.
Thanks so much for this threadxx
