Cold and Flu Defense Kit from Shoppers Drug Mart

School starts, Fall starts showing it’s colours {literally} and the cold and flu season hits like clockwork. It never fails!

According to Health Canada, in a typical year, up to an estimated 25 per cent or about 8.6 million Canadians come down with the seasonal flu. I believe it! I spent a good portion of the last month with the cold and flu, as did my oldest. Luckily the twins were safe this time, yet I know it’ll make it’s rounds again before Christmas is here.

I have my disinfectant handy, we all hand wash often yet sometimes there’s no avoiding the germs that comes with back to school and all the activities that start this time of year.

cold and flu season shoppers giveaway myorganizedchaos

I’ve learned to prep for the cold & flu season by stocking up on the essentials, at about the same time as I buy school supplies. I make sure we have items such as vitamins, tissues and fever medicine. With Autumn also comes dryer air outside made worse by the furnace running inside. That alone takes a toll, so humidifiers are a must for us! 

Shoppers Drug Mart is a great go-to store to get everything from soups and tissues to thermometers and lozenges. If you are one that does get the annual flu shot, you can do so there as well. They take walk-ins or you can also book an appointment online at http://shoppersdrugmart.ca/flushot. While we have opted out of the flu shot these last number of years, I do recall that we used to get ours in a crowded gym with hundreds of other people. Bleh! I would have much rather gone to our local Shoppers instead, so I like this option!

Make sure to check out the information on getting ready for cold & flu season on their website! You know it’s coming guys, let’s prepare ourselves now!

    I found that the thing that works the best for me is to simply tell myself that I dont have time to get sick. If I feel symptoms coming on usually I can convince myself they will go away and they do.

    For people that take public transit or school buses, get into the habit of applying hand sanitizer the second you a free! I tend to ride gloves off, for this reason alone.

    If I feel a cold coming on I take Cold FX, drink lots of fluids and pile the covers on my bed. It seems to lessen the severity or I am able to avoid it completely.
