No buying toiletries in March challenge!

Hi Everyone

Well I am really pleased with my self - I only spent 84p in February!(On toiletries I mean -I wish it was on everything!!)

Hopefully will not spend much more than that this month either!! Fingers crossed!

I might have to mentally add my herbal teas to my challenge. I have 5 varieties of tea in my cupboard, though to be fair I drink 3 of them quite regularly. Still, one person does not require that much tea

I can't cope with doing herbal tea as well! :eek:

A few ladies have fallen foul of the Body shop so do hang in there .

Welcome to all the newbies and lurkers, remember if you fall of the wagon you have to spill the beans and then do your lines :rotfl:.

Hello ladies! Happy St David's Day and a warm welcome to all the newbies.

Not much to report here - no purchases made and I am finally nearing the end of several full sized items. I will hopefully soon be waving goodbye to a truly ancient Sainsbury's night cream (which I must admit still smells lovely), the Fison's foot cream, a hand lotion from a product trial and a Trevor Sorbie long hair shampoo. I've also nearly got through a trial size Dove shower creme and a mini Trevor Sorbie conditioner.

I don't seem to have made much of a dent in my stash at all. However, I shall continue my quest with renewed vigour in March, spurred on by the fantastic support on here.

For some reason it is my one weakness (just like Dorcas Lane :rotfl:), I'll buy any peculiar concoction just for the weirdness of the blend, then put it away in the tea cupboard , usually just tried once, or even unopened. Even having made it my mission to finish it all up, I had to go and buy three more boxes last week. But I am drinking it now. I think it might be doing my skin good to be drinking less caffeinated stuff, so that is a slight link to this thread, I suppose :rotfl:

Me too. Yesterday I found four very old, unopened boxes of cinnamon tea bags in my cupboard. :embarasse Yes ladies, I love cinnamon, but once again I bought four boxes of something I have never tried and probably won't actually like. I also have a couple of other assorted boxes including some ginger and lemon and a raspberry, cranberry and elderflower one. I've started drinking them though so hopefully I'll be able to clear yet more cupboard space in the near future. :j

Hello can I join your challenge?

I really need to!! I moved last year and was shocked at having 3 big boxes worth of toiletries to pack!!!
Also my new place is smaller so I went out and got a storage unit from argos with 4 big plastic drawers and that is over flowing too!!

I have been trying in general not to buy new toiletries but I think this thread might really help lol

alot of the stuff I have is from bootsing when the big thread was still on the grabbit board. when the thread dissapeared I broke my boots habit


ps i love the sound of paint your nails monday and will deffo join in with that!!

Of course you can!
Moving was actually a lot of what GOT our stash so big, bulk buying for stuff not avaible in the other country when were living between two, and having complete sets of anything we might need....and spares...in both (at one time three) places. Plus DH has a set at work:rotfl:

Have just caught up with the end of February and thought I'd mention that I've seen Brilliant Brunette stuff on the clearance shelves in 2 Tesco's near me. I was looking for the blonde version for SIL as she uses this but they don't have any. It was £1 odd a bottle and they had quite a few at the end of last week. I wonder if they're discontinuing it or changing the packaging.

I've just gone and broken the challenge already! I've bought a fair few bottles in the tesco glitch-planning to use them as presents! Plus I'm down to my last bottle of shampoo.... Finally!
