unclutterWhat are other people counting with regard to toiletries?
I was inclined to just ignore the normal run of the mill toiletries eg soap, toothpaste, deodarant etc, but then I realized I had a cupboard full (slight exaggeration but it was a well packed shelf!) of toiletries that people had given me as presents - gift sets of bath oils, shower gels, moisturising creams etc etc. If I've given them away intact and unused I've counted them as a 1 out. Then I came to a decision to make more of an effort to use some of them up, so when I get to the bottom and it's ready to go out, would you count it or not, if it were you?

If you don't count any new stuff in (because it's a consumable), then don't count it going out!
