Be Prepared for Cold & Flu Season

Don’t get slammed by extra expenses when cold or flu hits. Plan now to save on those grocery expenses.

Be Prepared for Cold & Flu Season - Don't get slammed by extra expenses when cold or flu hits. Plan now to save on those grocery expenses.

Murphy’s Law states that if the grocery budget is tight this month, then someone (or all the ones) will get sick and you’ll need to go drop fifty bucks on orange juice, vitamin C, and other flu and cold remedies.

I didn’t write this law, but I know it to be true.

Now’s the time to stock up on the things that you typically lean on during flu and cold season.

Head here to see the list for Stocking Your Pantry for Flu and Cold Season.

    I can’t get the link to the list to work, it just brings up a picture of the soup and toast. This is a nice reminder to keep the basics on hand all the time. Thanks.

    Great list! Don’t forget the college kids, send a cold and flu care package for their dorm room, too. My kids tell me they are the most appreciated people on the hall when they pull out sick supplies.
