This is an idea that came to me while I was out walking. The premise is similar to the purchase sabbatical and the "Burning Through Samples" thread, but with the opportunity to focus on anything you need to use up. The story behind it goes like this: I have a travel bag/dopp kit that gets replenished using samples from the dentist (small tubes of toothpaste), the barber (after shave and shave soaps/gels/creams/etc), and those items I try out but decide not to switch to (American Crew Shave Gel). To help use up these items, I've taken to using my travel bag contents when on vacation, when getting called into work early, normal off days from work, etc.. Even this hasn't prevented my stock pile from getting out of control. To help use this stuff up, I want to dedicate a month to concentrating only on those items that are overflowing the travel bag. In my case, it'll be American Crew Shave Gel and maybe disposable razors. If it works, I may consider doing something similar next year for Lent. Anyone else have items they want to use up?
