No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries November 2013

AND HERE WE GO AGAIN FOR ANOTHER MONTH! As usual this initial post has been shamelessly copied from the many previous months! A big THANK YOU to Sundaysgirl for starting us off last month.
Welcome all newbies and regulars to this very friendly and chatty thread where we give lots of lovely tips on how to use up your stash and lots of support and encouragement if you need them.
Keep up the pampering and keep down the spending: let’s make the naughty step an empty and lonely place this month (rather than one so long that it can be seen from space)! Will this be the month when the "usual suspects" rein it in a bit? Let's see..... (but I doubt it!)
Remember - those products do nothing for you while they are locked in drawers, boxes and cupboards!
We are eternally grateful to Katie Clampet who set up this fab challenge in January 2010.
Here's her original challenge post:
"No buying any new toiletries, cosmetics, perfume etc... until I have used up ALL the ones I already have. I got a huge amount of (really nice) stuff for Christmas but I am going to resist the urge to browse Boots, Asda,Superdrug etc, and pop another tub of cream, face scrub, shampoo or conditioner into my basket. I reckon the stuff I have will last me until possibly June. I have decided that the money I save I will put into my special holiday account. Anyone else?"
Lots of us have taken part in the challenge over the past few months and are making great progress in reducing our stashes and unnecessary/excessive spending.
Regulars ignore this, but a quick resume is always helpful for newbies;
Why not add the challenge to your sig as a reminder?
We have a "Swaps Group" on Facebook when you can swap good condition items with other like-minded addicts. PM Trudij, Tokkiandoliver, seasideDreamer or luvlycake your email address and they can add you to the group.
How about taking a bit of time to do a stock-take and see if there are any gaps in your stash that you might need to spend on this month? Some of us set a budget for the month for essential purchases or to help with withdrawal symptoms, others like to go cold-turkey!! Other ideas which some people find useful: Listing everything out so you can cross things off as used to increase the sense of achievement, and putting a sum of money in a pot each time you use up an item to save for something you really want, or simply to assist in making future essential purchases "cash neutral".
Remember the challenge is about making the most of your money, enjoying your products, finding which products really suit you best and are worth buying, giving yourself a well-deserved pampering and breaking the habit of buying for the sake of buying.In money-saving tradition, it should also be about making your products l-a-s-t as long as possible (although the temptation of using an unloved shower gel extravagantly to finish it off is sometimes too much to bear!)
Brand new products (or opened perfume) sell well on eBay
Unsuitable products can be used for other jobs (shower gel/shampoo as handwash etc.)
Some items can be returned to certain stores for exchange (for essential items or gifts!!) without a receipt
Unwanted items can be recycled as gifts or for gift hampers (saving the money you'd have spent on gifts)
Unsuitable items can be donated to charity as mentioned earlier.
It helps to avoid the places where temptation lurks for you; be it QVC, Boots,Body Shop, the supermarket toiletries aisles, Grabbit board, online toiletries browsing, seductive department store beauty counter offers etc. Remember retailers are making offers and promotions all the time, so there will always be another deal!*
*Honest!
Good luck all for July and indeed the rest of the year, and remember to keep popping in for inspiration and support, and to report your UU's and IN's, especially any sales bargains - we want a nosy, and keep your stash lists updated
Welcome to all newbies - the more the merrier. Please introduce yourselves so we can welcome you properly!
Oh - and anyone thinking "OMG my stash is FAR bigger than all of theirs, I cant possibly join" - believe you me, we have been doing this challenge for well over a year some of us - you wont scare us, and I can almost guarantee that someone somewhere will have had more and survived.... we are very supportive (and protective - so don't be scared !!) oh - and did we mention that are nosey??!!
Useful abbreviations!
WIBA? - Will I Buy Again?
UU - Use Ups
IN - Self explanatory - stuff you've gained into your stash - warning,lines may be given out for unnecessary purchases or you may be sent to the naughty step!
WNBA - Will Not Buy Again!
Glitch - when a shop/online store make a pricing mistake so you end up paying less or even get freebies!
PYN(M/T/W/Th/F/Sa/Su) DELETE AS APPROPRIATE! - Paint Your Nails Monday/Tuesday...... it allows everyone to try and finish those dastardly nail varnishes with group support! You can never be too groomed for this thread Also see PY(T)N... - for toenails!
Splutterer - the stage where an item is nearing the end of it's life and spluttering - also the most annoying and seemingly never ending stage!
GWP - Gift With Purchase - a sample or mini sized item
HG - Holy Grail - this is the product you would go back for time and time again, it does the job brilliantly, and is either economical, or so fantastic price becomes no object!
NPI - Near Purchasing Incident (OMG we all have those!)
LHJ - Long Haul Job - for those products - love 'em or hate 'em - that never seem to end no matter how often you use them
PRCP -Pink Rose Candle Philosophy.From Erma Bombeck who said, 'If I had my life to live over again I would have burned the pink candle sculptured like a rose that melted in storage'. Don't keep things 'for best' or 'for a special occasion'. That day never arrives.Give the best to yourself now and enjoy it. (Thanks to McCulloch29 for introducing this thought provoking sentiment to us)
GA- for an out that was given away rather than binned or UU, to charity,as a present, or "just because!".
TA - for an out that was thrown away due to going off (generally as it has been lurking at the back of a stash since time immemorial) or for any other reason such as a broken container or spillage.
If anyone can think of any more we can add to the list so newbies won't be intimidated by our jargon!

Hello Ladies
I've decided to post here again after a nearly 2 year gap. I joined at the beginning of 2011 and managed to get my stash right down, but not quite, to nothing, though I didn't post much - just lurked and used you as inspiration. However as soon as the stash was down, I felt entitled to buy and now have another stash of 205 items!:eek: I'm not including boring stuff like toothpaste and deodorant which I have to buy anyway!
So, here we go again, and this time I'll try to post regularly. Trying to use stuff up will hopefully mean that I'm sticking to grooming and skincare routines as well.
Good luck to us all - and keep pampering, not shopping!

List has been updated and finally I am under the 400 mark, total stands at 386, last month it was 453. They don't tally from what I have used up but a few items I never declared (I don't always remember soap or sachets) and some were products that I don't count such as make up. I do have several more parcels due in this month and I know I need to stop buying. I have bought more over the last month than I have since joining the challenge in March.0 -
I'm in again! This month I don't need a thing. However I'll be a bit realistic and limit myself to no more than 5 INs, and only if I can justify them (free with a magazine for example)
I like this idea of setting target products for the month, mine will be:
1. Dove conditioner
2. Balance Me shower gel
3. Love etc body butter
4. Johnsons holiday skin
5. No7 eye shadow
6. Vitamin C skin reviver0 -
im in again!
thanks for starting us off Maddiemay!0 -
I'm in again for November. Thanks Maddiemay for starting us off again.
I haven't had any ins since the middle of October and am really pleased with that. I will carry on with my Project Pan for November but think it will probably be December before all ten of those items are finished.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Thanks to Maddiemay for starting the thread.
I am in for another month. I need lots of outs this month as its my birthday month so there will more than likely be ins!No more buying toiletries0 -
Project pan:
1. Max factor facefinity powder - I like this as a cheaper alternative to Clarins this was on my hit list for October. UU 17/11
2. Boots 3 minute hair mask - this may have been OK when I bought it years ago but although it leaves my hair soft its like applying slug slime and it doesnt smell very pleasant. Another from Octobers list. *STASH RELIC. UU 14/11
3. Johnsons baby bed time bath - Yet another from October - this was a left over from when DD was small - shes now 8 so *STASH RELIC. UU 3/11

5. TBS small lemon shaped soap - as above *STASH RELIC UU 10/11

7. Stella body lotion - to break up using the grot and *Potential pink candle. UU 5/11

9. Elemis nourishing shower cream - I'm drowning in this. UU 20/11
10. Nivea so soft cream - I got this in a gift set for my birthday last year so thought I would make an effort to use it before this years celebration. UU 4/11No more buying toiletries0 -
