Weekly Tea and Biscuits video Sunday 24th January 2021 Talking about Bereavement
In this Weeks Shopping Ideas post I am talking about how you can save money on medicines and supplements. I do take these not all of the time, but at the moment I am taking Iron Tablets, over the counter ones, and they are from Boots, and a good price under £2. If you are not sure what you can take as people’s bodies and needs are different then you still get medical advice.
Now often stores like Boots will give you a coupon towards medication, and your Boots card you scan is looked at and they will often give you a coupon depending on what you usually buy. This can include children’s medicines too, and medicated skincare products.
They will begin to bring these out as we approach Autumn and Winter and often summertime, certain supplements, like Vitamin D which is better off taking when we reach the winter season as the days are shorter and we can lack this vitamin not being exposed by Vitamin D via the sun.
Skincare and taking vitamins is something that you do need to be taking as advised on the label and not overdosed. All medication including supplements can still harm if taking over the recommended dosage.
If you have kids who don’t eat a lot of fruit and vegetables and are fussy then having them taking a Multivitamin for their age group each day can help and still help their body get the minerals they need.
Boots are doing a 3 for 2 on many supplements at the moment, and if you are pregnant and need medication in the UK, you should have received a free medical card which means you don’t have to pay for any prescriptions. This goes for anyone one under JSA, Income support or are under 16 years of age. However you only get this medical card if you are pregnant. They may just ask for proof.
In anycase, you don’t have to spend a fortune. I have shopped in Holland and Barrett but I find that their prices are often too high and the ones in Boots are a lot better.
