Just went HAM on a sale today at Ulta. The good news is that all of the stuff is going into my law school stash -- I'm not using any of it until September, so the stuff I bought today doesn't even count.
It was 33.8 oz of Matrix Biolage conditioner, Carols Daughter Hair Milk Starter Set (that had 4 products, a cowash, regular leave-in, light leave-in, and a styling butter, all sample sizes), Carols Daughter Tui Hair Sheen Spray 4oz, a free gift with purchase Carols Daughter conditioner, free gift with purchase Love Your Hair sampler bag with 2 hair sprays and a shampoo conditioner sample pack, and a really awesomely nice hair product caddy to store all my new stuff in. The grand total for all this stuff was $51.07 with tax.
I plan on giving the two sprays to my future roommate. She benefits from the law school stash too. I never use hair spray, but I noticed from meeting her that she likes to style her hair with curling irons, so the holding sprays might work well for her naturally straight blonde hair.

Psh just realized that I accidentally picked up the Biolage shampoo instead of the conditioner. Typical. I'll have to exchange it tomorrow. Hopefully they will give me the sale value because it was at least 60% off.

Ladies I am sorry but I am gracefully bowing out of this challenge. I realize now that it just ain't gonna happen for me. I need therapy: (
This is literally 1/2 of my stash. Smh

lamaria211,
at this stash!Well, as I said earlier, I got rid of a lot of stuff, but bought some things, mainly APB since this began.
My stash isn't huge, but, it isn't dwindling either.
I have used up an APB Leave In in Cotton Candy. I have 4 more of these leave ins to get through.
My stash is stagnant because I stay in protective styles almost 100% of the time! especially with my hair in marleys.

During packing I got rid of tmn aunt cookies cream, a few random shampoo bars, any Obia samples I had, eco custard, random Curlmart samples, a mostly empty bottle of Oyin juice and berries, old sample of honey hemp, half jar of as I am cowash, Shea moisture color kit (but kept the small bottle of shampoo and conditioner in the box), other misc samples... I think that was it.
Making room to restock on staples during Memorial day weekend sales.

I need to post an updated product list cause it feels like my stash quadrupled over-night, which I'm sure it did. Anyway, here it is.

Believe it or not, my whole stash with the exception of one shampoo, one conditioner, one oil and the 4 travel size staples I keep in my overnight bag all fit in this one small carrying caddy. It's heavy as a b**** though. I also have 2 containers of body wash, a hand cream and fragrance spray in the caddy.

This is all I am allowed to use on my hair until they are all gone. That's one shampoo, one conditioner and a tiny airplane-safe size container of EVCO. The rest is going into my basement.

This is the best way to use up a stash. I put myself on a 7 month no buy and I only replaced a product when I was completely out. This also helped me discern if a product really worked for my hair because I usually had 2-3 weeks in between changing a product.

You are right. But I am this way with using up anything, food, office supplies, skin care.
Actually, I'm usually a frugal person, but the forum influenced me to pick up all this stuff lately.

I think I finally found my DC staples, but I don't want want to get rid of my others in my stash because I haven't tried them yet. Ugh. I'm so torn

They have Memorial Day sales for hair products??!!
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong lol but I think Memorial day is the second best sale day Black Friday. Christmas and New years are good days too.

I want the Camille Rose Curlaide Butter but I need to get my stash down 
I will probably end up using up things in a group by the end of June. I can hold out
Maybe I need to target these samples during May and June to get my count down and then hit the MJ Pillow Soft Curls. I need a strategy.

Finished Beija Flor Creme Brulee. I really liked this stuff when I first tried it but now not so much. Maybe it was old, I'd had it about a year. The last couple times I used it on my hair the moisture just didn't last. When I first used it I remember my hair staying moisturized for days, I would use it for protective styles because it sealed in moisture so well my hair took forever to dry so I couldn't use it as a styler for twist outs this happens when I use QB burdock root as well. Now when I use it my hair dries overnight, I have definition, it feels good the first day but dry the next. I don't think it's my hair because I'm not having issues with anything else. That said, not a repurchase.

I need more hair oil but I can always mix some up myself. I have olive oil, coconut oil, castor oil, essential and fragrance oils. If I get an apricot kernel, grape seed or jojoba oil that should complete my mix.
