Hey everyone!

I have just sorted out my cosmetics draw, and tbh I have enough of everything in there to last me for atleast the next 6 months!! So deffinately no need to buy any more beauty products. I am going to use all of what I already have before buying anything new!

How did I build up such a collection???

Ha - snap ..... just inventoried my toiletries cupboard

I'm so enjoying reading this thread - it's spurring me on to be ever more frugal and careful with the £ssss so hope you don't mind me lurking and picking up tips.

If I wasn't just out of hospital & having to deal with loads of new stuff (diet, meds, loads of trips to hospital etc etc) I'd take part properly.....

Well then this is brilliant.. even last night I groaned a little when opening my new free Aromatherapy Associates soap..( I ran out of face wash months ago and have been using soap ever since )... however did wonder why I spend £26 on a jar of soft black Eucalyptus Soap.. at least I know its going to keep me going for a VERY long time...

I grinned with glee however when getting home yesterday I was greeted with my FREE Colgate toothpaste sample - enough to keep me going through the month with my other sample I have only just started.. I love freebies..

!!!!! cat got some Felix treats through the post too...

I unfortunately ran out of conditioner so shall be popping by Tesco for that tomorrow...Grrr...

Ooooooh Boots points.... didn't think of that!!!!!

After much deliberation I have decided to join you guys! Rather typically November is my most costly month each year as it's birthday season, so I worried that I couldn't get through the month being a Frugalista!

But never fear, some serious budgeting and living the life of a hermit in between birthday commitments will see me through the month unscathed...I think. My major downfall is buying super cheap crafting bits on ebay so for NOvember I am calling an outright ban on ALL crafting materials!

I don't have a food budget for the month as I live at home with my ever-supportive Father, so instead I shall give myself an allowance of £10 per week to cover all eventualities.

YAY!! HARDCORE MSE-ING FOR ALL!

After 25 days of scrubbing you will have very soft silky skin ready for Christmas

I love body scrubs! They're the one thing that doesn't stay around for long in this house

I think we all need to make a pact to use all of our toiletries up before Christmas, because we all know we will just end up with a lot more then anyway
