Bargain Botox?

You all know that I am from the great state of South Carolina.

I love this state and am proud to call it home. However, sometimes we get some things backwards around here.

Case in point:

I was driving yesterday and saw a HUGE billboard that said "Botox $9" and then this lovely scantily clad model and under her it said "No appointments necessary. See what all the fuss is about."

Ok, there are many directions we could go with this one.

Here is where we should start-Botox for $9.

Now, I am all for a BARGAIN. I love to find a great bargain and get excited when I find an awesome one. The grocery store can be a great place to find a bargain between sales and coupons. TJ Maxx and Marshall's are great places to find bargains on name brand items.

One place that I do not feel that we should hunt for "bargain basement pricing" is Botox. Someone is going to inject toxins in to your body to adhere to your muscle nerve endings to stop those muscle contractions, therefore stopping wrinkles. Someone is INJECTING TOXINS IN YOUR BODY, but it will only cost you $9. Most restaurant meals cost more than $9, you can't get 4 gallons of gas for $9, but you can get a cosmetic surgery procedure to make sure your face doesn't move.

I thought that only doctors, nurses, or certified medical professionals were to administer Botox and I am pretty sure they make more than $9.

Next up, Botox availabe in the drive thru at McDonald's.

"Would you like to add a side of Botox injection to your $3.99 Extra Value meal?"

End Soapbox for the day.

Happy Wednesday.
