Beauty Supply stores as Alpha Strategy enablers.

Happened to be out and about in the heat of the day today, ran across a Discount Beauty Supply store of the type that author Pugsley mentioned in the Alpha Strategy.

I am a bit low on shampoo at the moment so I dropped in to see if Pugsley was correct, and not surprisingly he was quite correct, a 1 gallon bottle of professional shampoo concentrate sold for 8.99 which on it's face would seem steep, but the 1 gallon is a concentrate, it makes 5 gallons in total, or 2 dollars a gallon, the average bottle of shampoo is maybe a quart or less and costs 2.00 to 3.00 bucks.

5 gallons will make 20 quarts of shampoo if not more, or 2.00 x 20=40.00 and the concentrate avoids state sales taxes on the 20 or more bottles that you would normally buy over the course of time.

So a 5 minute visit to Beauty Supply shop has acquired enough shampoo to last for 2 years at least...

We have a beautician in our group.
This helps a lot. Buying in bulk is great. We buy the large refill size of hand soap and then dilute it 50/50 and it still works great and our cost is cut in half.

Excellent post! Thanks.
