Allandra and Boadicea...you are my budget idols!!!!!! I hope that now that I am in PJ rehab I can save some money....if not...I'm gonna track down Bocagirl and see if her husband has any single brothers!!!!!!
Since I started transitioning 6 months ago, the costs have decresed. On average, about $45 a month. That includes poo, cheap conditioner, good deep conditioner, protein reconstructor, gel, oils, moisturizers (S-curl, sta so sof, infusium 23, etc), and rubber bands, phony ponies.
No supplements (yet!), no relaxers, occasional salon visits for a press.
No more than $20 a month. Usually I get a way with cheaper than $20/month. That's my budget if I run low or run out. That includes supplements, and I don't run out of everything at once. I refuse to go back to buying all those products and spending so much. I'm on the grind for bigger things.
