OCTOBER PREPAREDNESS CHALLENGE

Well, after a wonderfully lengthened warm season, it is now officially cold weather time, and we have discovered first hand that it is also sick season. Yick. So it's fitting that my prep goal for this month is to stock up on some of the regular over-the-counter medicines that we use during cold/flu season. Let's face it, who wants to run to the store at 2 AM to grab some Benadryl for a very sick child? It's great to have a supply of the "regulars" on hand, like:

Vicks Chest Rub (this is a must in my house...good to rub on feet to stop a cough)
Child/Infant Pain Reliever/Fever Reducer
Child/Infant Benadryl
Throat Lozenges
Tons of Vitamin D and C (I like to purchase at puritanspride.com...cheap and delivered to my door)
Sudafed
Gatorade
Sprite
Crackers
Kleenex

These things will be going on sale soon, so keep an eye out and make sure you have your home pharmacy all stocked up.

Also...baking sales are starting up already for the holidays! This is the time to stock up on baking needs for the entire year!
