To ask how often you buy these products?

Toothpaste seems to go quite quickly .
I buy 8/10 bars of soap at a time and they last about 6 months .
Shampoo used to last me 3 months the but I have taken to buying a big bottle and decanting now so it is going to last about 9 months I think.
I buy 2 boxes of washing powder at a time and they last 3 months or so.
Only 2 of us using g these products most of the time apart from soap.

I bulk buy 4 boxes of washing powder once a year.
Bulk buy shampoo/conditioners/toothpaste /shower gel/ hand soap etc when on offer they probably last 6 months at a time.

@muddyford Now this is a tip I love!

I cut the tube in half and scrape out every bit!

We buy shampoo and conditioner in bulk and have two deliveries a year of 4 of each bottle at 500ML so that’s 8 of each a year for two of us. It’s 8.50 per bottle. In supermarkets they tend to sell only 250ML and the equivalent would be 12.50 for 500ML.

We buy the largest size washing powder and I use a half measure, it’s completely fine and we buy around 4 per year. I am a great believer in scruffs, we keep a set of grubby clothes for hiking and gardening and wear a few times. I grew up washing clothes by hand, I’m a great believer in spot cleaning. I wore a jumper for the second time and spilt a little dinner down it. That’s getting rubbed with the dishcloth. I wear jeans all week.

Toothpaste needs no more than a pea size so last ages, unsure how often I buy.

I've no idea, I don't keep track of things like this and tend to bulk buy when they're on offer anyway.

I hardly buy any of that but it’s only me and a teen at home. Things like shampoo last me ages.

we definitely seem to get through toothpaste slower than everyone on this thread but we do have one each. I guess we replace every 2-3 months?!?!

I bulk buy these things on offer , shampoo I probably have 30 shampoos under my bed lol, so I never run out , I'm addicted to toiletries lol.
I also buy the huge Ariel at cash n carry & all the different lenors so I can honestly say i've never run out ,
I know this wasn't your question by the way lol

Lush is a great shout, thanks!

Also recommend Little Blue Hen for shampoo bars

Toothpaste I buy in multi packs at Costco so probably every 6 months ( 2 types of toothpaste) , shampoo every few months but I buy 2/3 and washing powder every few months .

@familyissues12345 gosh, there are so many different ones its hard to recommend any one in particular. You could start at Lush,if you buy their products or local businesses. Having said I use a shampoo bar,I recently switched to UpCircle's shampoo mousse in a jar and will never use anything else now. Its utterly brilliant. A very little goes a long way so a jar lasts a good while. And its refillable!

I have no idea! 2 bathrooms at home, shower stuff at work and at BF’s so there’s usually several bottles of shampoo on the go at once and I buy them 2-3 at a time.
toothpaste I buy 2 or 3 at a time when it’s on offer as i buy a really expensive one.
wshing powder is 24 capsules so that’ll last 4-6 weeks.

WTF with this toothpaste buying?! People, it is a pea sized amount for adults, less for children.

This is 0.25g.

For a family of 4 who brush twice daily, that's 2g a day.

Let's say there's some wastage, and bump it up to 4g a day, being generous.

A standard toothpaste contains 125g. Obviously you can never get it all as some sticks inside, but let's say you can get 115g of it. It should be lasting about a month.

How are people buying toothpaste every week?!!

Off topic (ish) @Hedjwitch , which shampoo do you buy? I've got just below shoulder, fine but lots of it, hair and I'd really like to convert to a bar but don't know which one to try! Any recommendations? Thanks

Shampoo I buy in bulk on Amazon so annually. The rest probably quarterly. Though I did stock up on toothpaste in the US in June.

Usually once a month, I have a big payday toiletries spending spree.

Don’t curse me but I have very long hair it goes down to my waist and it’s thick so I go through more product. Washing powder will obviously last if youve been get a massive pack that does 140 washes or something like that. How often are you brushing your teeth because I need to buy it at least once a month. Your mouth must be foul. You can’t really compare

Shampoo I don’t wash my hair in the same stuff. I have 6 bottles on the go and rotate. All started at different times as different sizes but half are nearly finished. If washing hair using the same shampoo every time my hair goes flat and dull. Even now on holiday I have two shampoos.

Household of three adults so..... washing powder every 6 weeks. Shampoo, conditioner shower gel and toothpaste every 3 weeks on average

After reading about the number of toothpaste tubes going to landfill,I switched to a refillable pump which seems to last for ever and creates less mess and waste.
Solid shampoo bars similarly seem to last a long time,so rarely need to buy shampoo.

I live alone and the frequency of purchasing these products varies. At the job where I finished earlier this week (still being paid to 13/10) I took advantage of any clearance bargains. Such as shower gel 40p. One time about 5-6 years ago, we had new lines of antiperspirants so most of the old stock was discontinued. So bought 18 cans of it, lasted about 20 months!

Shampoo and conditioner - every week.

Washing powder and liquid every two weeks.
