What will you NOT be replacing when it's gone?

**Englishlady** · 08-25-2005, 07:44 AM

In an effort to save money, time & space I am using up and not replacing various things around the house, a lot of my my products have to do "Double Duty"

for all of the above reasons too

So far I am not replacing:

Hair spray ( I have Hair Gel to use up, & then I will not be using ANY hair "stickies"

Talc: Will substitute Cornstarch already in the Kitchen

Hair Conditioner A lot left but then will go back to my Double Duty stuff (Aloe Vera Gel in this case~y'all remember that thread don't ya?!)

Coffee machine I have a very cheap one that brand new cost only $15.00

However, when that goes I will start to use my Bodrum Coffee jug ~ the glass and plunger method, as I already have the kettle

I also going to try and see if I can live without paper towels in the kitchen

What have you decided not to replace?

I have lots of cleaning supplies that I bought to "try"...ugh. Anyway when I use the last of those things up (and they seem to be lasting FOR-ev-er) I'm not replacing them. I'll be using exclusively homemade cleaners, save bleach for the toilets and scrubbing bubbles as I love the way I do a quick clean with that product. I have gobs of makeup that I bought and didn't use completely as well. I'm working my way through that stuff too.

When my convection microwave turns up its toes, I'm not getting a new one. I don't like the idea of microwaves now and I rarely use it.

Much of my makeup, hair and beauty products. I'm looking forward to being more streamlined in that department! (But I suspect it will take me AGES to use up most of that stuff

)

Note pads. I'm in the habit now of just cutting up blank scraps of computer paper and mail that would have ended up in the garbage.

Hair,makeup and beauty products here. I have SOOOO much perfume,bath and body works sprays...I doubt I will ever use it all up. I've decided I dont need 20 bottles of perfume! (Thats just not right lol) I've been slowing getting rid of some...giving some away,selling on ebay etc. I LOVE smelly stuff,so it's taking me awhile. For what I couldn't part with 2 weeks ago,I can now,and feel ok about it

I wish I could do with out paper towels and napkins. I WOULD love to use cloth napkins. I think I'll get some at the dollar store and see how they work,or how my family deals with it lol

All I can think of right now....

Paper napkins, paper plates and paper cups. I also will not replace the majority of my body lotions, makeup remover, hair styling products or the dehydrator.when it finally dies.
