Emergen-C

Just a quick note since i'm battling strep as I am starting this blog -
I swear by Emergen-C whenver I feel any sickness coming on. I feel (because you can't prove this I suppose) it's warded off, or shortened colds I may have gotten, and certainly with the amount of travel I was doing up until recently it was one of the few things I could do to try and maintain my health.

My personal favorite used to be the raspberry, until I came upon the breast cancer awareness pink lemonade flavor. I think I bought 4 boxes because I assumed it was a temporary thing. Its super duper yummy. the kids call it "sick juice" lol.

I have quite a stockpile, including a variety pack of flavors I was trying out in my cabinet of medical torture devices...er, meds.....
but since I was at CVS picking up drugs, I swung by as several years ago it was fairly hard to find. I usually had to hit whole foods, central market, etc. Now you can find it most anywhere.
CVS had it on "sale" for 13.99 I believe.

I happened to look down while in the householdy section of TJs and lo....they sold emergen-C (no pink however!) for 8.99. Incase you didn't know....prices at TJs include tax with the exception of booze, soda, and non-edibles. so 8.99 out the door.

I snagged some acai berry, and while it has this weird floating scum thing and is a disturbing shade of grey purple....if you didn't look at the stuff it was actually quite tasty. the visual may not allow me to repurchase, but it was really good..... i'm on the fence.

anywho. Kudos TJs. nearly half the price? sheesh!

I am also partial to Yogi Immune support tea when sick. I did spy that TJs carrys yogi teas but as there was some sort of jungle law shopping going on, I didn't stop to look if they carried it. If anyone is interested however, it's what I drink when sick. I am normally partial to a good stiff black tea (twinings irish breakfast) when healthy, but the immune support tea is very tasty, smooth, light and is perfect when sick. I hate adding sweetner to tea, but it's not DREADFUL when I add some honey to soothe a sore throat. Thats important. :)
And echinacea normally tastes like something you'd lick off the bottom of a table somewhere, so to have this tea not only be bearable, but actually tasty is a huge bonus.
