Yesterday I felt the beginnings of a little cold — slight runny nose, semi-scratchy throat, mild drowsiness. I think the 50 degree temperatures were getting to me. Luckily, I reminded myself that I don’t believe in sickness, and this morning I felt good as new. But all day yesterday I was craving some sort of flu-friendly beverage — hot herbal tea or cold orange juice or something of that nature. So today, during an afternoon walk while waiting to get my car’s oil changed* I found myself browsing the aisles of Whole Foods — a store I don’t normally visit (they don’t call it Whole Paycheck for nothin’). I thought surely they must have something in the dollar range. It wasn’t long before I found my deal of the day — two packets of Emergen-C at $0.45 each! I love getting two things for a dollar. And I’m excited to have these on hand for the next time I feel a little cold coming on. I chose one packet of raspberry (1,000 mg vitamin C) and one packet of mixed berry (vitamin D and calcium for bone health). I can’t wait to get 1,667% of my daily vitamin C in one glass.
