Sunblock is cheaper than Chemo

Posted on Jun 21st 2008 4:21PM by Fitz K.

My little family of four and I have already blasted through 12 bottles of sunblock since early May. At nine dollars a pop ... the cost is certainly adding up. But then I think about the investment I make each day, and the price it will prevent us all from paying some day in the future. Here's a short list in no particular order.

  • Painful Sunburns -- Ouch!
  • Freckles
  • Moles
  • Leathery Skin
  • Sunspots
  • Flaking
  • Chemotherapy -- Not cheap!

Yes. Sunblock can be pricey, but as I look at it ... each bottle I buy saves thousands of dollars and years of our lives in the long run. Well worth it!

What's your favorite sunscreen? I'm partial to Coppertone Continuous Spray in the highest SPF I can find. Have a cool brand you'd like to brag about? I'm always looking for more. Smell good? Work perfectly? Go on quick? Easy on the kids? Let us all know!
