As someone who was kind of addicted to buying nice-smelling things for several years, I am counting:
* cosmetics and toiletries I throw out when I stumble upon them (expired/old/gross, things I know I'll never use) * things which leave behind an object such as a bottle once they're used up
But I'm not counting things which are entirely consumable, like bars of soap, provided that they go away through actual use and not through me pitching them. I find them harder to track.
