Aww, you and me both! And it doesn't help any that I'm planning on checking out The Body Shop sale this Thursday. Darn you, sales!

I haven't calculated the exact # yet, but I'm sure the amt. is over $100. I wouldn't say that's embarrassing; it's to be expected.

Trust me, I've spend wellllll over $100. But I love all my stuff!

Same here, I'm not telling.

The bad thing is that I put the stuff away in various closets, etc. Probably never to be seen again because I will have forgotten what I bought.

The one thing good about it is that I have a ready made "gift storage center" when I need to give one and that always helps.

I have definitely spent more than I'd planned at this sale, and it isn't over!! But like BBW Rawks, I just love all my stuff. Unfortunately, I don't have a gift closet because I don't buy enough to give away. It is rare that I have more than one of anything. Therefore, I want to keep everything for myself! I did find some stuff at this sale I will put away for Christmas gifts.

I've been really good this year ... I think my total is only around $50. I would go much more crazy if I could afford to, but money is tight this year.

in previous sales ive spent 3 times more.
i only spent one third of the usual.
im trying to save, but its soo hard with all
these sales.

My number is way down from last sale, and I'm still under budget, so I'm not embarrassed.

I had a dream last night that I found a Tiramisu edt for $1.10, and at the cashwrap they had Strawberry Lemonade lipglosses that were free with any purchase! How I wish it were true...

maybe youll find something of interes
the next time you shop.

Not so much the sale, but I spend too much there during the year

Lovey, I almost never buy more than one of anything, either. There are sooooo many things I like that I end up getting lots of a huge variety of scents rather than lots of only a few scents.

I do have two Apple Torta & Cinnamon Frosting souffles, though, and I bought two Cocoa scrubs during this current sale.

Becky, I actually had a thought about a few wks. ago about how awesome it would be if there were Signature Collection lip glosses. There actually are quite a few candidates to be lip glosses: Mango Mandarin, BSF, CLV, WVS, & BRV. But I don't think Cucumber Melon should ever be a lip gloss; that would just be a little too weird.

I actually don't buy more than 1 of something w/ the only major exception being body washes/shower gels/shower syrups. However, I have a rule where 5 is my maximum threshold for a particular scent. But I actually group WVS & Fresh Vanilla together since those 2 smell so similar. As far as the maximum threshold, the only items that I have 5 in are Frozen Daiquiri body wash b/c I it so much & TD Tiramisu Veneziano body wash b/c it's been so readily available. I'm only 1 away from reaching the maximum threshold w/ TD Sugar Wafer body washes. I those!

I usually try to get no more than one of a particular item too...I love the variety. Just this time, I might have bought 2 of the creamy body washes in Sun Ripened Raspberry. But other than that, I try to be really good about these things. I am pretty sure I've spent about $60 at this sale...in little batches mind you...$10 one day, $7 another, $25 another, etc etc. Sigh and I have 3 more weeks to go atleast..

I usually only get one of each item, unless it is something I really love AND it is also "limited edition" in some way, and won't be readily available if I want more later.

I agree, Janelle. That is why I am well stocked up on Peach Nectar! Should definitely last me until the next sale, maybe beyond. Unfortunately, they only have sales on the classics during the semi-annual, so on those it's definitely smart to stock up! The only other fragrances I have two of is BSF and TD FdC (remember when it went on sale right after Valentine's Day?).

Anytime I've had 2 of an item I've gotten gagged by it (ie 24 oz of Coco Cabana

My total is getting worse by the minute!

Well, I've now blown my budget. But only by $0.43, so it's really not bad at all. Unless I find that Tiramisu perfume or something equally cool, I am D-O-N-E done!

Yeah, Becky! That's so easy to say. I've given up on my budget. I know I'll be there every week. I probably won't buy nearly as much as the first week, but I'll be buying something! I can't imagine what will come next but we have til July 9th to find out.
