Personal Goods
By Cathy Pearl 		  
1     Personal goods are items that people need to take care of themselves. These items help keep you clean and keep you healthy.
 
2     In the grocery store there will be an aisle of hair care products. These will include shampoos, conditioners, and hair sprays and gels. There are products that are made for men, women, and even children. Some items will change the color of your hair.
 
3     What you choose to buy is up to you. Some people stick with one product. Others buy something different each time they need a new bottle. Coupons can save you money on whatever you choose to buy.
 
4     There will also be razors. Some men shave their faces. This gets rid of the hair that grows there. Women will often shave their legs and under their arms. You can buy razors that can be thrown away. These are disposable. You can also buy razors that you keep, but you change the blade when it gets dull.
 
5     Again, there will be products that are made for men and for women. You will find this is true about many of the products that you can buy in this section of the store. This decision should be one of the easier ones to make.
