Fighting Flu Season

Last flu season we got our flu shots a little later than most people did, but this year we are ahead of the game. I do not know if the vaccines were the reason that we didn't get sick last year, but in case they were, I put "get flu shot" on my to do list, and left it at that.

Yesterday while entering Costco, H noticed that flu shots were advertised for $14.99. That is significantly less than we paid last year (I think those were about $60 each), so we trotted right over to the pharmacy. You have to wait 20-25 minutes after you sign forms (perhaps to take the vaccines out of the refrigerator?), so that gave us plenty of time to shop.

Despite the wait, and the fact that I had planned on getting the vaccine anyway, I still think that this is an example of impulse buying. I was happy to cross that one off of my list!
