Shrink My Stash is a series of monthly posts. In these I will post two separate times. The first will be the Goals for the upcoming month. The second post in the series will be the Update on the products used up during the month.

(If you are not reading this post at www.howisavemoney.net or in your feed reader, it may have been stolen from my site.)

I sometimes buy a lot of products or I buy in bulk because of discounts. Because of this I end up having a stash of certain items that need to be used up. Shrink My Stash will be a concerted effort on my part to make sure I use up the items and avoid waste or clutter.

The products for this month are: 6 products.

Candles.

–Cotton Candy from Better Homes and Gardens. This should be easy because these two candles are almost burnt out. I should be done with them in about two burns and they can go in the trash.

–Peppermint Marshmallow from Bath and Body Works. I love this candle and it is actually easy for me to light it every day.

Hand soap.

–Boardwalk vanilla. I really love this scent during the cold weather even though it was marketed as a summer scent.

Body cream.

– Vanilla Bean Noel. This cream is about quarter done and I love the scent so I should be able to use it on a daily basis.

Body wash.

–Winter Candy Apple. I usually like fruity scents in the shower but this one still has to grow on me.

Hand sanitizer.

–Vanilla Bean Noel. I forgot to include this in the picture because it is attached to my purse so that I have it for daily use.

This is the list of items I plan to use up by the end of the month. Let’s see how I do when I post the Shrink My Stash Update at the end of the month.
