Giveaway | Walgreens Wellness Basket + Gift Card ($100 Value)

by Marcy on December 3, 2011 · 342 comments

Cold and flu season is here, and it just so happens that right now is the busiest time of year to travel. Paired together, that could spell disaster! According to the Walgreens Flu Impact Report:

More than 3 million U.S. travelers had interrupted trips last year due to flu related illnesses
100 million work days lost due to flu-related illness last season, resulting in $6.8 billion in lost wages
2 million business trips were missed
One-third of respondents spent between $251 and $1,000 treating the flu last season
32 million school days were missed (which means missed work days as well)
Over 1 million weddings were missed
Nearly 5 million holiday celebrations were missed

Walgreens found that spouses and partners were evenly split when asked whether it’s easier to take care of oneself or the other person. However, 1/3 of women surveyed felt taking care of their spouse when sick is a “nightmare”, while only 14% of men felt the same way (this made me giggle).

Walgreens wants to help keep you and your kids healthy this flu season! One lucky winner is going to receive a Walgreens Wellness Gift Basket – including health & wellness products PLUS a $32 Walgreens gift card that can be used toward a flu shot or any other items you want to purchase at Walgreens.
