    Default I resisted, and didn't buy...!

    What did you almost get, but didn't?

    I am on a low-buy, but things I am running low on or sales I am allowed to still shop for.


    In our local Lidl the H&S shampoo was on sale for 6.49 euro for a 3-pack, and I resisted.

    In our local Aldi, there was a deal on Nivea shampoo (2-pack) but it was shampoo for dry hair and for colored hair (moisturizing) and my scalp can't take that.

    In our local Aldi, they still had gel left from a previous deal, 4.29. I didn't get it as I just got tubs of Eco Styler at a much better deal (but it's so hard to resist) LOL!

    I resisted, and saved: 6.49 + 3.39 + 4.29= 14.17 euro.

    Yay!

    What did you "almost" get, but in the end didn't? And how much did you save *exactly*?

    This is a good way to hold yourself accountable and to resist what's out there. You deserve a cheer-you-along thread for this; so tell us, what did you not splurge on?

    I love this thread already lol
    I'm also on a no-buy/low-buy this year. I was doing really well til yesterday. I bought one conditioner that was on clearance for $3.13. I also managed to stack my coupons and got a Garnier hair mask for free.

    I resisted buying... 6! I had manufacturer coupons and store coupons for those. But these sales run often and I don't need them for a long time yet. I had my eyes set on Herbal Essences (2 for $4.38 )+ Tresemme ($3.99) + Pantene ($3.09) + Aussie (2 for $6.98 ) = $18.44 - $3.13 = $15.31 saved this month! I'm annoyed I bought that clearance conditioner -_- oh well, I'm more motivated now.

    I resisted going into the shop that sold my spin pins for $11.90. Ten more times, and I’ll be able to get a TT!

    I resisted trying out a Shea Moisture conditioner and curl smoothie. I'd just spent £30 stocking up on Superdrug own brand (my staple and it's only £2.29 per 400ml bottle, both shampoo and conditioner), and couldn't justify the expense.

    9.99 + 10.99 = 19.99 GBP

    Now I see it like that, 20 pounds on something that'll last a month, woah. It does smell amazing though.

    I'm the opposite. I'm going to start buying...hair toys. So far I've bought a silver hair stick, accordion band, barrette, and Bobby pins.

    But thanks to careful shopping I refuse to spend much on them. I have the luxury of time, so I'll use it.

    Got some wood in the garage, calling out to me as a potential hair fork.

    Ebay has some lovely metal forks for very little moula. Check it out.

    I resisted a brand new ficcare and instead got a used one. That is my last hairtoy purchase for 2018.

    Oh. This is for me. I was in the hair section at the drugstore, tempted to buy hair color. I was tempted for a few weeks. I resisted and I'm so proud of myself.

    Save your hair vitamin money and put into a retirement fund. That's growth.
