Shop your Stash, a crucial step to having a No-Buy Year

2019 so far has been about how to save money, deciding on a no-buy year and taking the 3 steps to start my no buy year while decluttering and making sure that I am able to maintain my decluttered life. 

Now that all the necessary steps have been taken, I still had to do two more things, one of which was to shop my stash and take an inventory of what I have in storage and the other is to do a pan project.

For now, what I finished is the shop your stash project. Here is the result of my inventory.

This is my toiletry stash.

9 PCS of SHAMPOO

15 CONDITIONERS

1 FACIAL WASH, 4 SHOWER GEL, 1 BODY SCRUB 

21 BATH SOAP 

MISCELLANEOUS

MAKE UP STASH 

Looking at my stash, I feel like I won't be buying any more toiletries except for tampons. The rest, I have more than enough to last me the year but we shall see. I do have a younger sister I share my stash with so we'll see how we hold up for the rest of the year.

Here's a recap of what I have overall.

TOILETRIES:

9 Shampoos
4 Shower Gels
1 Facial Wash
1 Body Scrub
15 Conditioners
21 Bath Soaps
1 Spray Net
4 Toothpaste
6 Colognes
2 Deodorants
2 Body Lotions
4 Hair Serum
4 Toner
10 Hand Sanitizer
4 Perfumes
10 Hand Lotion

4 Roll on Parfum
4 Essential Oil

MAKE UP:

5 Palettes
3 Strobing Sticks
7 Mascara
2 Concealer
4 Blush
7 Highlight and Contour
1 Bronzer
11 Eyebrow Pencils
8 Eyeliner
4 Eyeliner Pot
54 Lipsticks

Overall, I have 212 items which I believe is more than enough. I've already given away what I could part with and these are the ones that I want to use for the year of 2019.

And these are what I use. The upper layer ismine and I have the Tresseme shampoo, Luichel Snail Facial Wash for when I don't wear make up, the Clean It Zero facial wash when I do wear make up, the Winter Wonderland Body Scrub, a Lavander Facial Scrub, and the pH Care Feminine Wash.

The bottom layer is for my son. He uses the Dove Pampering Shower Gel, the Nature Republic Aloe Vera Facial Wash, the St. Ives Blackhead Wash, Palmolive Shampoo and Conditioner as well as the Body Basics from Echo Store.

Now that I know I have over 200+ items in my stash, it's a lot easier for me to not buy more because the goal is to use up what I have and cut down on what I already have stocks of.

I think that I am off to a good start.
