5) Last week Giant and Stop & Shop made news with free generic antibiotics through March 21. Well now Wegmans has jumped on the bandwagon with free antibiotics with a prescription through cold and flu season (March 31).

Wegmans pharmacies already offers customers a 90-day supply of select generic medications for $11.99. Major pharmacies have already followed suit with Walgreens offering a 90-day supply of over 400 generic drugs for $12, Rite-Aid offering 30-day supplies of generics for $8.99, and CVS is selling 90-day supplies of select prescriptions for $9.99

If you know someone who loves plants, nature or science, the www.ticklemeplant.com company offers free experiments. TickleMe Plants close their leaves and lower their branches when tickled. They grow year round indoors as a house plant. I just bought a TickleMe Plant Greenhouse and got TEN FREE experiments with it!

Publix even gives your pets free antibiotics with a script from their vet if they are on the freebie list. I bet Wegman's and Giant doesn't do that

HELLO Washington... Can you hear us now. If pharmacies can see the plight of our Nation's healthcare, WHY are all of you politicians sitting on your duff, collecting our tax dollars and doing NOTHING to help us. Maybe if we all become unemployed and there is no taxes being paid... you will listen. It is time to address the healthcare crisis in America, stop sending our tax dollars to every other Country in need and take care of home first !!!
