A Visit from "The Ghost of Drugstore Trips Past"

Maximizing Your Potential By Definition
Someone once pointed out to me that in many of my presentations focusing on my theme, .....
As a work at home mom who spends most of her day online I find at least 30 minutes a day is devoted to online browsing. My obsessionbeauty products. Everything from wrinkle cream to hair volumizers I have probably researched every one online and then end up at the neighborhood drugstore to do the actual buying.

As I was killing 20 minutes before picking my daughter up from pre-school I went to CVS (a drugstore chain in our area) with my ever present list and strolled the aisles. It occurred to me that if you look at someones CVS receipt you can tell exactly what phase of life they are in.

Here is a sample of what my receipts have looked like through the years.

In case you cannot give up your online shopping addiction these can all be purchased online with such sites as drugstore.com or beauty.com
