No Buying Toiletries in May Challenge!!

tara747

Bronnie - I'm sure you know this already but Boots ACM has extra points vouchers for P&P day and night creams (think it's 200pts each). I was buying 2 mini mode baby fleece suits for £5 each (reduced from £18!)... paid with points too yay! I had a cursory look at the clearance shelf, then went to the ACM, then paid and left!

No toiletries bought! I am so proud, and my baby gifts stash is coming along nicely! I'm at the age where friends are starting to have babies, so it is good to have a stash of gifts as they can be expensive. I also took advantage of the M&P gift card offer twice and got two free gifts. Happy days

Went to Boots yesterday armed with a £10 gift voucher and a £5 No 7 voucher to see what I could get for my money. Did quite well....

• Tresemme colour shampoo 500ml
• Tresemme colour conditioner 500ml
• Herbal Essences colour shampoo 400ml
• Herbal Essences colour conditioner 400ml
• Sure roll on deodorant
• Toothpaste
• Radox bath soak
• No7 eye gel
• No 7 wipes (got another voucher from "spending" more than a fiver)

All for the grand total of about £4 cash!
The hair stuff will last at least a month and the other bits will do me for a good while too.

Quite happy with that!

OMG that much shampoo and conditioner would last me 4-5 months!!!!!!!!! :eek:

Tara, I tried to send you a PM, but you need to delete something else first!

I do have quite long hair and am a bit overgenerous with the dollop that I use - perhaps 2 months is a better estimate!
I am trying to begin to eek things out a bit though - your comment has made me see sense a bit!:o:o

Hi All!

I'm new to all this, have read lots of threads but never joined in!

I have been inspired by all your posts and all the tips, I have loads of toiletries I've probably never used and am addicted to shopping at Boots!

So will be trying to go cold turkey and save some ££ for my upcoming holiday!

Off now to do a list of everything I have... wish me luck! :eek:
