May need to buy in 2020
Shampoo bar
Cleanser - have one in use and two back ups
Facial Oil - have one in use and one back up
Curl cream - have one in use and one backup
Deodorant - will be good for quite a while
Hand cream - will be buying ingredients to make my own
Can I ask which shampoo bars you use? My partner has used gruum shampoo bars but they don't seem to last very long. Maybe it's how we are storing them?
I would like to try one after I've used up my shampoo stash!1 -

confusedsaving - I use the shampoo bars from The Yorkshire Soap company. I buy the Damaged Goods one for my fine curly, dry hair and Loco for Cocoa for the rest of the family, I slice them up and just put one slice into a soap box in the shower to save wastage and I make sure the box is dry before I put the slice back in. I don't find that my hair feels silky and slippy like normal shampoo which we all know is just the silicones they put in but overall my hair is much bouncier and fuller.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Seems unnecessary to me?
Yes, I felt it was an extra step too far. I did end up doubling up on it to get rid and then it flaked off so beware.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

Skincity Skincare Soft Foaming Cleanser 40ml WMB as a full size. Really nice and gentle on my skin. It didn't leave my skin feeling stripped at all, which some foaming cleansers can. Very nice.0 -

Thanks dolly84. They look good! Do you use a conditioner bar too? My hair is curly and prone to being both dry and oily
Thanks for the warning VALM!
UU
Kiehl's rare earth masque sample
Also had 5 TAs from going through my stash that were basically done.
Painted my nails last night with Nails Inc polish - I really like the colour and haven't used it for a while.1
