No to Buying Unnecessary toiletries in August 2011!

Loving the stash lists. I'm aiming for using up the minis, and i like the aim to get into a better skin care routine.

Lady Morticia - I didn't count sanitary stuff in my stash, but i stock up when i go to france so normally have a reasonable stash in the cupboard.

My cold turkey is out of necessity as well as a challenge, I took voluntary redundancy 2 months ago and I can't dip into that as i have been offered a job back in another part of the organisation, so will probably have to pay some or all of my redundancy back (not sure yet as no start date) and thought it would be sensible to save some pennies where i can.

I've always wondered about this cus I certainly have a rather large stash of them:rotfl::rotfl:

But then I think as they're pretty much essential it makes sense to stock up when your preferred products are on offer so I've never included mine despite having a big drawer full:rotfl:

Thank you both.

I always saw them as a necessity so didn't include them.:o I try to stock up when offers are on too.

I'm in for August Hopefully will move towards the end of the month/early next month so added incentive to be good as its less to move. Though I'm off to Asda tomorrow and fancy a treat from their great range so might not be too good a start...

Count me in for August too please.

Will try to be better this month, as have slipped and purchased several new items (with coupons) over the last week. Also will try to get my stash listed on here at some point!

hi all, after lurking for july can i come and play?? spent an informative 2 hours the other day totting up what i had and not including make up ( have been blitzing that and it all now fits into a medium size bag so no longer a problem) anyhoo turns out i have 92 items eeeeek :eek:

thats face stuff, body gunk, nail varnishes etc and the sad thing is i keep finding other bits to add to it so prob nearer a 100

i will post a stash list at some point, as i know we all love a good stash list! i love reading everyone elses, especially what you consider to be HG and also what you wouldn't buy again

look forward to getting to know you all

Hi :wave:. Count me in again for August!

Thanks Mingle for starting this shiny new thread.

Haven't posted since mid-July with one thing and another but have been really good and not been tempted - not even the sales.

In July, I have given a foot scrub away to a friend and binned a conditioner that had gone off! That tells me that I have way too much stuff and need to be using stuff up quicker before the rest of it goes off too! I MUST HAVE A NO SPEND MONTH.

Hope everyone is keeping well - don't think I can catch up on the last 20 pages or so of the July thread. But here's to a great August (and a clean, fragrant and well groomed one!) We must sort out another pamper night some time.
