Do you keep serveral bottles/jars of the same conditioners and moisturisers?

Well when i woke up this morning all my moisturiser was done.

I had some Olive oil in the bottle so i used that instead of the one in the jar. I've noticed my Keracare Humecto is also almost done.

But i was thinking to buy several jars of the stuff so i dont run out wen in need esp as my budget fluctuates daily. Student here!! LOL

Are there any ladies who do this?
 
I never wait for my favourite products to finish before I buy a replacement. I buy stuff I really like in salon sizes and when its about halfway done I buy the next bottle.
 
the OCD in me thinks one day I will go to the grocery store & there will be the great Olive Oil shortage of 2008... thus I buy everything in bulk
 
Definitely cause nowadays, you never know when your favorite product is going to be discontinued :mad:. It helps to keep extra on hand so you can search and find an alternative before you run out. :)

ITA! Some new bandwagon could start and I don't want to be waiting around for new shipments.
 
I keep 1 or two extra unopened bottles of like 90% of my hair and skin products :)

Some people laugh when they see my products, it looks like a spa.:drunk:
 
Yes- I'm a sucka for deals like they've got this deal at Superdrug for 2 John Frieda products for £6 and ofcourse I bought some glaze and conditioner I don't need (I told myself its to care for my lacefront). I also bought all 3 Aussie deep conditioners, the original, colour, and frizz - just in case they run out:rolleyes: Did I mention the 6 bottles of Giovanni Direct leave in I bought when I first joined to save on shipping costs?:look:

This could take forever so I'll just stop now...
 
every time i'm at a store that sells V05 conditioner, i compulsively buy 2-3 bottles. which is only $2-$3 dollars but still... my linen closet stays stocked. i can run out of products and be okay for a week... and if it's summer i don't even NEED product, i can leave a little of the V05 conditioner in my hair if need be. but life without conditioner is just not worth living! :lachen:

also, as far as ACV is concerned... i don't buy little bottles anymore. i buy the 1 gallon bottle. :look: i have 2 right now, one open and only like 1/6 of it has been used, the other unopened and sitting under the kitchen sink. i always have 1 gallon bottle in reserve. when i open the one under the sink, i will go buy another "reserve" bottle. :lachen:
 
I keep a couple of bottles of some products. I stock up especially if there is a sale. I'm on a Use it Up Challenge right now so I can clear the way to try some goodies I've had my eye on (VS So Sexy, Oyin Sugar Pomade, and Qhemet Amla and Olive Oil Cream). :grin:
 
Uh, you mean like this? :look:

Yes definitely, especially products that I have to order online. I keep up to 3 or more bottles/containers of my staple products. I just ordered two containers of Cantu leave-in even though I have two under my bathroom sink that haven't been opened and one that's barely been used. :spinning:
 
I am also a stock pile PJ especially products that I like when I know they are being discontinued.
I have the following stock piled I never want to have to go out and buy a conditioner for co washes.

DDTA-100 Bottles
DDGB-50 Bottles
Suave Milk & Honey 50-Bottles
White Rain Tropical Coconut-30-Bottles
Nature Gate conditioners-20
Praital Silkworm Rinse-3 Gallon Sizes
Praital Aloe Vera Rinse-3 Gallon Sizes
Lanza Protein Plus Shampoo Old Formula-2 Liter Sizes
 
Yes I do this now and did especially in college. I didn't have time to be going on wild goose chases when a staple ran out. I am a proud stockpiler.

Wow...now that's an impressive stockpile - I just wouldn't have the space to keep all of that.
 
I definitley keep extra bottles of products that I like. I keep several bottles of conditioner on hand and my closet looks like an aisle at Target. I keep extra toothpaste, deodorant, lotion, loofahs etc. Once I get down to two bottles of an item I'm off to buy more.

totally agree with this,, just lats night i bought 2 Vo5's and i buy multiples of EVERYTHING i like from clothes to food lol
 
Yes, yes, yes!!!:grin: I'm a compulsive stockpiler- DH teases and says I'm a "survivalist". I have multiples of everything- hair products (don't let me hit a sale!), household products/cleansers, pantry items, clothes: esp. white shirts and tee's (you can never have enough white shirts) and black pants.

I have had nightmares about running out of toilet paper!!!:eek2:
 
i pile up on toilet paper like nobody's bidness. i have a whole book shelf with nothing but toilet paper.
now hair products........i havent done that yet but i was just thinking about stocking up on my staple moisturizer because its made by a small all natural company and im afraid they might go out of business. and only one bss around here sales it anyway so this weekend i'm going to buy 2 more jars of it----but its 10-15 dollars per jar:nono:.
i'm on a budget now
 
I always keep my favorites stocked. I've got multiples of Organix, LeKair, Pantene Breakage Defense Mask, HE LTR, WRTC, amla & vatika oils and such on hand. Running out of a staple is not an option!!
 
I also keep Qhemet Products in stock. When she discontinued Sidr Tree Butter Balm, I was thrown for a serious loop. I thought I WOULD never get over that.

I KEEP the Olive Cream Detangler in stock. I don't even want to think of that one discontinuing, or her Heavy Cream and Burdock Root Butter Cream.

I shiver at the thought! :nono:
 
There are a few things I keep 2-3 deep in the stash:

HE Dangerously Straight
HE Long Term Relationship
Garnier Sleek & Shine leave in serum
Garnier Length & Strength leave in
Surge 14
Aphogee Green Tea & Keration Reconstructor
Qhemet Heavy Cream
Elasta QP H-Two
Joico Moisture Recovery Balm
Jerri Redding Natural Protein

These I stay with the liters or tubs:

Aveda DR
Aveda Brilliant
CPR
PC Corrector
Elucence MB line
 
I guess you can say I've been doing my personal 'use it up' challenge.

I'm trying to use everything I have before I buy anything new. I'm tired of looking at that stash when I know 1/2 of the stuff in there I RARELY use!

And I'm trying to organize my home!!!!
 
I stockpile products I order online, mostly to save on shipping. Sometimes to get free shipping, other times to avoid paying $6 over and over again to ship one bottle.
