No buying new toiletries etc until.....

This week I have used up a couple of miniature clinique cleansers, so that is less clutter. I have also decided to leave my S&G stuff for when my current half used shower gels run out!

I did pop in to Boots this week to buy some dry shampoo (an essential for me as I am quite often too lazy to wash my hair in the morning). It is funny because it is a product that I always use up but I never have a stash of it and it never seems to be on offer!

On my trip to Boots, I had a bit of a look at the 50% off sale aisles (there is a lot left in my local branch), but I found that it was all a bit boring, so that is good (and a step forward) :-)

I also meant to mention that I have almost finished a night creme that I forgot I owned. I looked at it in Boots today and it is priiced at about £21... quite a lot for something that I must have used a couple of times and popped in a drawer without a second though!

isnt it something that we all have stocks of stuff that "we werent keen on".

I was thinking about this when I was in the bath. Would I ever buy things I know I have used and wasnt keen on again.

The honest answer was "probably, yes, if it was on offer"

:eek: I need to have a word with myself!

Onto another BARGAIN product that I love. Im now using Waitroses own "cinammon cakes" body wash. Its 99p iirc. This is a lovely product- a lot better than many others Ive spent more on!

I think that's quite a common theme for many of us on here. I found myself doing that last year and corrected myself, making a mental note of the products involved and how I was NEVER buying them again.

Oops, I just spotted my spelling mistakes... I was shocked at the price of the night creme, I didn't remember spending that much, but I know I would have!

We should all trade the things we didn't like lol.

Just about to get in the shower and realised I had no shampoo went into OH 's bathroom to retrive it and noticed my S&G iFoam there... he's almost used to lot the g*t!!!
Just used the last of my shampoo and realised I have none left so will have to use DD's baby shampoo tomorrow.
Also finished off a pot of body lotion that OH hates the smell off but he's away until Saturday so I can smell away xxx

Good to know I'm not the only one - what are we like? :rolleyes: I don't like binning the mini (empty) bottles either - I reason that I'll be able to refill them and take them away with me. I should probably limit the number I keep though.

My OH went on a trip last year and stayed at a hotel with normal size L'Occtainne toiletries. He says he could never go back again after he kept phoning for extra to bring home for me :rotfl:

I love it when you go to a hotel, go to the bathroom and see Molton Brown, Elemis etc

I once liberated a substantial amount of Aveda stuff from a very posh hotel.
