The real Cost of Bathroom Chaos
By Carolyn Verhoef from Organising Outside the Box
There are new and startling facts about what the real cost of bathroom chaos is to your health, our planet and your bank balance.
Why is there chaos in the bathroom anyway?
Well, I’ve been thinking about that a lot. So, I’ve done some digging into what the real costs of not staying organised in the bathroom could be.
For most households stock piling of personal care and beauty products in the bathroom is just the norm. Products we use in the bathroom are expensive! It stands to reason then when they’re discounted, we can get carried away, buying much more than we need.
But this could be costing you much more than you realise!!!
I was amazed to find these facts which really puts the bathroom cupboard into perspective. Firstly, as a large proportion of our weekly grocery bill and secondly are we really using this much in the bathroom or are we seeing most of it go down the drain – literally?
Australians spend around $13.4 billion per year on Personal Care an average of $29 per week, making it the second highest cost in the Australian household. What I found alarming is that when you compare these figures with other regular spending the bathroom organising just doesn’t seem to be given the attention this big price tag deserve.

4 mistakes that increase the real cost of bathroom chaos
I don’t know about you, but I have a new appreciation for what I buy for my bathroom, and it has definitely been raised as an important investment worth spending some time on to get better organised.
Take Control of the Bathroom Chaos!
Before you start organising your bathroom cupboards look at your past buying habits. How do you do that? Well, it’s easy, take a look in your cupboard and see what products are out of date or simply things you just don’t like to use.
**Remember, be kind to yourself, there’s no judgement here and you don’t need to feel guilty about the items that have gone to waste.
You may have discovered that buying that moisturiser in bulk just went to waste or the make up you kept for back up stock got buried up the back of the drawer and has dried out.
Personal care & cosmetic products do expire and go off in the hot and moist environment of the bathroom, so it’s important not to over buy wasting your money and the planets resources.
Time to declutter these and make a new buying habit that cuts the cost of bathroom chaos.
