Candy – When times are bad we all need something to sweeten our day.  Candy can be affordable and is commonly bought impulsively.  That is why you see it at every checkout counter around!

Veterinary services – Most pet owners have very strong connections with their animals.  They will always make sure they have the care they need.

Thrift stores – No matter how much people are spending they always like to shop and spend less.

Death care services – Unfortunately it happens to all of us and we need it no matter what the economy is.

Cosmetics – Put on a little color and it can brighten your world.  Makeup helps people feel good about themselves.

Home health care services – With the hospital stays getting shorter but costing more, home health care services will continue to grow with the need.
