Buy Sunscreen a little at a time.

[Mzambo]

Everytime you find yourself in Target or Wallmart, or when you see it on sale, grab a bottle of sunscreen. It can be very expensive if you buy all the SPF's at once, but if you do it a little at a time it is not such a big bite in your budget.

And, make sure you don't keep it too long. It does expire and lose its effectiveness...as we sadly found out one painful vacation years ago.

Check the expiration dates too !

Just buy it all in September when it is on clearance.

September purchase is ok for a fall / winter trip, but the shelf life on sun screen is about a year. You will probably need to buy fresh if you are not traveling till the next summer.

I didn't know sunscreen had a shelf life. I just figured it was always good, but I will say that I have never burned even with old sunscreen. Guess I should go through my cabinet and toss some out. I have some that is probably over 10 years old.
