The cheapest thing you can do to fight the flu is to sleep 8 hours a day. Sleep will keep you healthy. It will also keep you from spending money. It will allow you to think better so that you can be more frugal and waste less on impulse purchases.

I think prevention is well worth it – we eat really healthy, wash hands, and keep antibacterial gel on hand for everywhere we go. It really does work!

Honey and lemon tea is awesome for a cold and if you are blocked up use a steam bath with some drops of eucalyptus oil or menthol.

I have heard that too..but by the time I got sick cooking was the LAST thing on my mind. I will keep the garlic thing in mind for next time because I actually love garlic.

I am so thankful that I have not gotten sick this year.
When I feel that I am getting sick, nothing better than
a nice bowl of hot homemade vegetable soup with garlic.
It is so health!
I agree in what Lisa said: “Garlic is another frugal way
to help boost the immune.”

What do you think about vaccines as a cost-effective measure to prevent the flu and related sick expenses?

Yes, some similarity of cold and flu and sometime we confuse about it. Garlic is best for cold.

@ Lisa- yeah, it seems that everyone who may just have a cold claims it’s H1N1 nowadays…guess it is the “in” thing oddly enough.

LuLuGal, it’s so true that it’s always a good idea to have a stocked medicine cabinet. Really makes me feel better to come home to a cabinet full of medicine rather than realizing that i have to run to cvs during the middle of the night for some theraflu…

Garlic is another frugal way to help boost the immune system. And isn’t it crazy how many people are claiming to have H1N1? It’s the “in” thing to have I guess.

I’m with you. There’s really not much a doctor can do for a cold other than tell you to pick up some cold meds. Another thing you can do to help your cold is to drink lots of water and OJ (vitamin C!)
