Last week was a very BUSY week for me. A big birthday for one of my kids, work, usual life stuff. Not to mention the month of May and June are very spendy months which I can’t really get away from. So last week I tried to keep my general spending down to a minimum, especially when it comes to personal care items. I literally bought what I needed and that was it! So what products did I buy? And how much did each item cost?
Face Facts Ceramide Foaming Cleanser
My current budget cleanser I’ve been using, which is Aldi’s Lacura Moisturising Wash, was running very low. Rather than going into the supermarket to buy it and ‘accidently’ buy other stuff £20-£30 later, I bought this instead. I’ve used a Face Facts Ceramide Cleanser before, but not this particular one. It’s gentle and fragrance free which is a must for my skin right now. The price for this at £2.99 for 400ml was the best price I’ve seem on the high street or online, so I grabbed it!
Biovene’s Pimple Patches
I bought these for the first time about 2 weeks ago for my daughter, and she asked me to buy these again. As a teenager and I suffered from the occasional spot, I just dealt with it as we all did. This generation now have various pimple/spot patches in different shapes, sizes and colours that can be used to minimise the look and feel of these invaders. 24 patches in total is included and they come in 3 different sizes, which is very useful. Transparent, so although obvious not as obvious as other patches, and very easy to use. 69p.
Simple’s Pure Soap 2 Bars
I easily buy these every 2 weeks because both myself and my daughter use them mostly in the bath, but also in the shower. I’ve noticed around spring time the skin on my body can be easily irritated, so avoiding products on my body that contain colour or fragrance is a must. My daughter was a sufferer of eczema, so its out of habit now to stick with products that are gentle on the skin and products her skin is used to. Cost? 89p.
VT Direct’s Turmeric Joint Complex Capsules
As much as getting older has its benefits, it has its downsides too. My body isn’t the same as what it was when I was a teen or in my 20’s. I find my body takes longer to recover from general wear and tear. Aches and pains manifest from no where. I take these tablets to help with my joints because they need all the help they can get! I recently ran out and needed to restock. There’s information to suggest that turmeric can help with inflammation of the joints and stiffness. Also this can be good for the skin, help with digestion and other possible health benefits. This cost £2.79 for 60 capsules taken twice a day.
What was the grand total of these 4 products I bought? £7.36. All from Home Bargains. Which isn’t too bad at all. Besides the pimple patches, the other products should last between 2 weeks to 4 weeks which is great when on a budget.
