Wow that's a good money save, try pound land for good brands cheaply priced, if you have one nearby0

Ooh just found this and I need to join! Will get my act together and get using stuff up!"There's hard work. And there's not so hard work. I prefer not so hard work. But if you mix not so hard work with hard work it's harder than the not so hard work but not so hard as the hard work."

A couple more UU's to report:
Boots Botanics relaxing bubble bath. A fairly nice fragrance, but I could detect a hint of fly spray smell, lol! Will not buy again.
Thai Spa bubble bath, this was lovely, would definitely buy again if I could find it! I think Superdrug may have discontinued the Thai Spa range, I haven't seen it in a while.
I also managed to palm off a couple of things from the dreaded cabinet onto my teenage son, a tea tree shampoo, and a nirvana spa body wash. Saved me from buying anything new for him, and he's not very discerning, if it lathers up then he's happy!0 -
Highly recommend the finger in your mouth technique for not getting lippy on your teeth! I always do it a couple of times and it really does work
Some outs :
Silvikrin hairspray
Imperial leather hand wash (forget the scent) replaced with Christmas soaps from lush ! Eeeeeeeeee it makes me super happy every time I go to the loo.
SURE crystal deodorant - absolute crap didn't seem to do anything for me at all
Also batiste dry shampoo is on its last few squirts
INS- all to replace things I've used up and don't have stock of
Silvikrin hairspray
No drought LUSH dry shampoo (to replace batiste, thought I'd give it a try)
L'oreal TXT texturising spray (been doing without it for months but have missed it too much!)Frugal Student!!!0 -
A couple of UU's
• La Roche-Posay Lipikar Xerand Hand Repair Cream – WBA. Hydrating, and I think would be good for work, as isn't greasy at all
• ELF lip balm – WNBA. Felt cheap, and once I started using it it only lasted a few days!
I also finished a Korres lip butter, but as I forgot to include it in my stash in the first place (naughty!) I don't get the satisfaction of crossing it off my list. It took me ages to finish too!No more goo hoarding!

I've never managed to use a lip product up! I don't know how people do it!
Have a lot of things spluttering at the moment so will have to brave Boots and TBS on Saturday to restock the essentials! Actually might take advantage of the sale and make a cheeky TBS order tonight.Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20170 -

UU - Just a little sample sachet of L'Oreal Skin Perfection Moisturiser - but it feels great to just use it up and get it out of the way! This felt lovely on my skin, but I usually use either Superdrug or M+S products instead.0
