How do you restock your products?

[silenttullip]

This will be my first time actually restocking so I wanted to know how you ladies restock...

 

[chrisanddonniesmommy]

I only restock my essentials when I've absolutely used them up. Other than that, no big scheme.

 

[gadgetdiva]

I do an inventory to see what I'm running low on and try to restock a few at a time. I'm not ready for the reality check of exactly how much I spend on hair prods.

Like a Schizo!

btw: cute thread

When I have staples I usually restock them during sales, but I'm an official PJ, so I'm allllways buying something! I need to start a product graveyard for stuff I don't like though - I always forget stuff I hated and then I'll use it and I'm like UGH!!!

 

[Fab_Nikki]

I restock all the time, its really a problem. I just came back from NYC where I purchased ALOT of dominican products and now I am trying to figure out where to put them.. Its ridiculous.

when they go on sale

 

[NikkiQ]

the PJ in me won't let my favs get low so whenever I see a sale going on...I buy at least a bottle or 2. nothing too drastic yet. I think once I've legit found my staples, my wallet and my bathroom cabinet are in some serious trouble!

Exactly what i do.

I tend to restock as needed OR if I find a GREAT sale. The biggest problem has been lately as I restock, the product seems to stop working. But I am all for using a coupon, sale points or other method to lower the cost of purchase.

 

[MissHoney26]

LOL this is kinda amusing. I feel like I have a store full of products! Anyways, I'll buy my staples if I'm getting low on those. I love Sally's and try to purchase what's already on sale or in their ad. Like my favorite Lustasilk Shea butter mango cholestorol, I always stock up on that because it's only $2.59 w/ my sally's beauty card. & Some of the BSS's I go to I'm super cool with the people there and I get discounts. They know I'm a PJ One time I was looking at some Mazani and they were offering a discount on that. I know I'll be back!

 

[Tiye]

Only when I need to. I don't replace everything - I try different things but I only have a handful of products I use all the time.

 

[cmbodley]

I'm constantly restocking b/c of my 14 yr old who is heavy handed, whenever its on sale I usually get 2 or 3 of the product.

 

[Poranges]

I will restock with every product in 1-5 quantities ONLY when there is a sale. WHENEVER there is a sale. Whether I buy 1 restock or 5 depends on the sale.

 

[YaniraNaturally]

Whenever I notice they only have two-three uses left. i HATE to find myself out of conditioner the day of with soaking wet hair.

I'm not a PJ so my stash is a reasonable size.

 

[kellistarr]

Restock? That would mean I ran out of something. No chance of that happening. I only restock what I really, really like. I only wait for a sale if I'm in very good supply. Otherwise, I pick up a couple of bottles here and there.

 

[SmilingElephant]

Both when everything is close to empty and also when i have no choice...that has happened before and it was NOT fun!

 

[La Colocha]

For my staples i buy a 6 month supply at a time, if its just something i am trying i will only buy 1.

 

[AwesomelyNappy]

i restock as i go. if its something i use often, i tend to buy them more frequently even before i need more. sometimes i'll just get them so i always have them on standby, especially if they are on sale or if its cheap. But to avoid going overboard, i try not to keep more than 3 of the same thing on "stock". (however, some things i'll get in small bulk (4-6 sometimes up to 12 of one thing) online if its affordable and something i know i use frequently, like for instance, my amla oil. doing that keeps me good for as long as 6 months to a year or longer).

if its something i tried out or something new that i didn't like, i'll either try to use it up, add it to other things if i can or i'll give it away and not buy it again.

but if i'm strapped for cash, i'll let my products run out before i restock. sometimes, when it gets to the bottom, i'll try to extend it by adding water or other similar products to it to get me over until i can get more. either that, or i'll use whatever the "standby" is until i can repurchase whatever i ran out of. I try to avoid running out of my essentials though (but it happens)

 

[beautyaddict1913]

I have a list of my staples and I stockpile those, but I try new things soo often and add those to my staples list too lol...so its pretty much a vicious cycle. The problem comes when I try to get rid of things that I bought long ago and never used...like 2 huge bottles of herbal essences condish and the set me up gel...taking up room in my stash! I hate throwing things away but I may have to do it this time bcuz Im quite sure noone I know wants em and its too much trouble shipping things thru the hated it dump it on me thread! Ughh do yall feel comfortable just putting full never used (but inexpensive) products in the trash?

 

[lovelexi]

I restock when my products are close to empty. I start looking for sales when the product is getting close to empty. I only try new products when there is a sale.

 

[LuvlyRain3]

I usually by at least two months worth of products. Certain things are always on sale so i never run out (like HEHH and aussie moist). Im a pj so i never really run out anything lol.

 

[AlliCat]

I wait until the product is finished. then I either restock if I liked it, or try something new in its place.

 

[SimJam]

I just restock as needed.
I will however wait for black friday sales to try out some new prods

 

[omegachick31]

I am a clotheshorse and a shoe fiend so I can't afford to be a product junkie...I mean it has to end somewhere.....so I wait until I'm almost out of something and if I liked it I repurchase and if it was mediocre I'll try something different

 

[NikkiGirl]

I love purses and shoes, so I only buy hair products when I run out. Period. I probably have three things under my cabinet right now.

 

[Vashti]

I like to restock whenever I have extra cash. Usually I have my hair products sitting on the bathroom counter and the extras under the sink. So I never run out.

 

[empressri]

things that are pricier ill stock up when there's a sale unless it's something that i truly love and use all of the time.

otherwise if i buy something it's usually a cheap thrill item that i want to try for kicks.

 

[Jas123]

regular sales... target often had gio direct on sale and i always stock up then...

 

[maxineshaw]

I voted "I never restock. I hate everything I've tried"

Honestly, in the near four years I've been natural I don't think I've ever restocked a product. I'm always trying something new.

In this way only do I miss my relaxed hair. I would use products up to the last little drop and then go to the store and buy another bottle. My natural hair never seems to be satisfied.
