It’s back!! Cold and flu season is back and it’s here with a vengeance! I don’t know if it’s the strange fall then summer, then fall again weather we have been having, or if my little family has just been terribly unlucky, but for the last two weeks we’ve not been sharing the love, we’ve been sharing the Kleenex and cold medicine!
“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.” When your entire family gets knocked down by a virus, the best way to get through it is to be prepared for it in the first place! Having a few favourite (and essential) cold remedies stocked in the house can make a difference between survival with a smile and true misery.
Shoppers Drug Mart has generously offered one of my readers a chance to win a stocked Cold and Flu Defense Kit to help prevent the flu and manage those cold symptoms when they do occur!
Valued at over $150 the Shoppers Drug Mart Cold and Flu Defense Kit contains a $50 gift card to use at your local Shoppers Drug Mart. This fantastic prize also contains essential items you should have on hand including Life Brand Hand Sanitizer, Vapo Rub, Digital Thermometer, Sugar-free cough drops, facial tissue, Vitamins D and C, a Humidifier and Simply Food Chicken Noodle Soup.
PS If interested, you can also get your annual flu shot at Shoppers Drug Mart by walking-in or booking an appointment online.
Ready to be prepared for this season’s runny noses? Entering is easy! If you are Canadian simply fill out the Rafflecopter form below. Ends October 28th.

Oh I really wish I had a tried and true method! I do try to have a lot of vitamin C and plenty of rest, wash my hands often… but I do still get sick. I blame my stuffy work environment!
