No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries - May

I definitely won't be finishing any more products now this month, so here's my tallies. It's not been a great month as my allergy/eczema stuff that started in April has still been flaring up, so have cut right back on facial skincare usage- its been very sad, and also means it'll take a hundred years to use anything up for a while
INS: 20 (£153.15 - 13 replacements, 7 unnecessary or new items- a lot of holiday items for travel)
OUTS: 22 (16 UUs, 6 throw aways)
Total: ohhhhh just about in the negatives: -2 items from my stash overall this month.Jan Grocery Challenge 2023: £181.18/£400

Thanks to the thread I've given myself permission to spend time/product on self. I will join in next month as well. Using up/not buying was part of it but also taking care of me too. Thank youMade it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!3 -
