{Now Closed} Walgreens Wellness Basket ($100 Value) Giveaway

By:

It’s that season again – Flu Season! It normally coincides with the busiest travel period of the year. According to the Walgreens Flu Impact report, the flu interrupted more than 3 million vacationers last season.

Not only does Flu Season affect fun trips but it also affects day to day life! Last Flu Season, there were over 100 million work days lost due to flu-related illnesses and around 32 million school days missed. This is quite a bit of time! In our house, it seems like if one person gets it, it often spreads around to the rest of the household.

To keep you and your children healthy, Walgreens is giving one lucky Bargain Briana a Walgreens Wellness Basket. It has around a $100 worth of Walgreens goodies including cough drops, vitamins,  thermometer, hand sanitizer, and a Walgreens Flu Shot gift card.

This will come in handy already because last night I started to feel that tickle in my throat as I was **trying** to go to sleep. Unfortunately, moms don’t usually get days “off,” so I usually just suffer through it! I’m sure many of you do as well!

Okay, so let’s discuss the giveaway details…

  1. I havent had the flu in years, and when I got it last time I was out for a week. So if I got it again, I would say 5 to 7 days

  2. i dont get often sick, because i use preventative meds…. and wash wash my hands… but we all get sick and could use a little help from walgreens

  10. I’ve been very lucky the past few years and haven’t missed any work days due to flu. I’m sure it’s because I always get a flu shot, wash my hands a lot, and use a lot of hand sanitizer.

  15. Got the flu shot for the first time this year. Within 4 hours I was sick with a mini flu. I stay home now while my girls are in First Steps so I didn’t get any time off. I already subscribe to your emails and on Facebook :)

  19. 0. I haven’t had the flu in awhile (knock on wood) and I just don’t call in sick. My rule is if I’m not puking (which I haven’t done in nearly 9 years) then I’m not too sick to work, lol.

  20. This would be a great gift. I try to keep myself healthy and when I do start to feel sick I take herbs and pray they work. Winter has arrived here already and I would love to get this basket. I also have been getting all your e-mail goodies every day and there are many

  24. I don’t think I’ll miss any days from the flu, but from other illnesses, maybe two or three days the whole year.

  25. I got a flu shot, so hopefully not many. I’ll probably at least get a cold or something though….so 2 or 3.

  29. I don’t miss any days…because 1) i’m required to get a flu shot and 2) I’m in an accelerated nursing program and can’t miss classes.

  32. unfortunately, not too many because we only have so many sick days we can use for work… so I still go to work when I’m sick (like today)

  33. Ha, with having 2 children we miss many days for their illnesses and then theirs become ours :)

  40. I’m already getting the bargains in my inbox with your newsletter. Please enter my name in the Walgreens Wellness Basket.
    Thanks,
    Melissa

  43. I put the two together, the newsletter and facebook, so now I will just say I like you on facebook

  46. I love Walgreens and go weekly! I am currently not working so I won’t miss any days, but generally my husband may miss 2-3 days because of sickeness

  49. I missed three days in October when I had the flu. Luckily, I had the worst of it over the weekend or I would have missed more.

  50. We usually get colds throughout the winter, but the flu hits us pretty hard about once a year. Thanks for a great website! :)

  51. This is our first year of having a school aged kid so I am concerned about missed school days!

    Hope we don’t miss many!

  67. I don’t think I’ll be missing any days. I got a flu shot and so did all the rest of the family! I use Lysol too!

  68. I Love all the great information on bargains I get from you. Like you I can’t miss any days due to flu or cold. Moms just learn to work through it somehow.

  76. I luckily don’t get the flu too often, so at most it’s a couple days a year. Colds, on the other hand…

  78. I miss around 5 days for a bad cold or the flu every year. I never get the flu, but I have had colds and sinus infections. Here’s hoping for none of the above!!!!

  82. Unfortunately, grad students never get a day off…sick or not! I’ve got a pretty good immune system and load up on vitamins so I can usually fight things off pretty quickly. I don’t miss work.

  84. When I taught elementary school, I ended up sick between 5 to 8 days a year. Now that I substitute, I rarely get sick because I work with older kids.

  91. I don’t typically get the flu, although I catch about everything else. If I do, I try to limit myself to no more than two days off.

  94. Since I don’t work or go to school, that would be zero. I’ve been very lucky and have not had the flu.

  100. I think I have only missed 1 day but I would say it wasn’t the respiratory flu….more like the achiness in your joints type virus.

  102. I’ve never been diagnosed with the flu, but do seem to feel ill or like I’m coming down with something every couple of weeks, all winter long. I often take a day off to rest at the onset of symptoms with hope that it’ll keep the worst of it at bay – so that probably amounts to four days or so between November and February. Ilk.

  103. I subscribe to your newsletter and like you on facebook.
    I get the flu shot every year.Last year my husband and I were both sick for 10 days over Christmas.

  106. I will probably miss at least five but usually because of my son, no me. *knock on wood*. I’ve always been afraid of the flu shot! I already receive Bargain Briana’s great deals in my inbox!

  115. I’m not planning on missing any days of work due to the flu. I had the flu one time, when I was about 9 years old. I seem to be immune! :) (Hope I didn’t just jinx myself . . .)

  117. I had the flu a few years back and it was rough. I was out of commission for probably about 5 days.

  118. I am a Stay-At-Home mom and catch whatever my children bring home from school and share with me!!! I don’t miss any days of work because as a MOM you don’t get days off hahaha!!! Sick or not you still have to take care of everyone else!!! I love Walgreens!!! I could so use this basket of goodies to keep my family and I healthy!!! Thanks for all you do you are awesome!!! I subscribe to your emails and follow you on FB.

  126. My kids are no longer little and we do get flu shots+ each year. Not having little ones sharing germs so freely, we probably only lose 2 maybe 3 days due to flu.

  127. I’m no longer working and since I’ve been home for a little over a year now I haven’t had any “sick” days – however I’ve had several colds just recently. When I did work I never took that much sick time.

  130. i just got hit with the flu! took me out for 4 whole days of miserable chills and cold sweats!

  137. Thanks for the chance to win…

    Last year I had to take a week off from work due to the flu… and I had the vacination!

  140. Hopefully I will only miss a couple days of work. Trying to take lots of vitamins and disinfect to keep the germs down.

  145. Total I would say that about 25 days (WOW) are missed in this household during flu season. I cant believe i just admitted to that! It of course cant hit all 3 of my kids at once, they each get it seperatly, so there is missed school hours and times, my husband will battle with it trying to cover it up secretly to not let me know he is sick, but then when i find out i make him stay home from work and rest, which as a guy he hates to do! And I am the mommy who is not allowed to take sick days so, but i do however get it first it seems like and is the last person to feel better :( I hate flu season! My 3 kiddos all get the shot each year but it seems to either get to them before we have a chance to get the shot or the shot fails us :( We surely couldl use this basket, help our routines stay on track this year, and not all curled up on the couch or in the bathroom :)

  150. i wont be able to miss any days! cant afford to and being a mom you dont get days off from motherhood! lol i am aldready subscribed to ur newsletter & facebook!

  152. We usually don’t get the real flu. It’s usually bronchitis, ear infections, strep, viruses….that get us. I usually miss about 5 days in the winter with my kids sick. It’s usually my youngest. When she gets sick, she’ll spike a high fever for days. :(

  153. I’m typically down 2 days when I get the flu. If it goes through each of my 4 kids, we could be looking at a week & a half.

  154. Love Walgreens! Convenient and one stop shopping…

    Miss 2-3 days due to flu

    Thank you Bargain Brianna!

  160. I, myself, can work through the sickness BUT the kids are a different story. By the time they pass it around to one another, I will miss quite a few days (Why, oh why can’t they all get sick at the same time!)

  162. I do not work outside the home, but my kiddos are on their second day home from school with a nasty stomach bug! This basket would come in hand right about now!

  167. When I was in college, I got it every year! I probably missed a day or two of classes….
    So far, I have fought it off, but I am starting to not feel so well….

  171. I’m a Facebook “Liker”!! Unfortunately, most of this stuff would probably go to the man of the house since he just gets so much sicker than Mommy. Lol!

  172. I am hoping not to miss any days! Usually I do not get sick, but to be safe I will say 1 or 2.
