Safeway is currently running a Flu Shot promotion. Get your flu shot at the Safeway pharmacy and receive a coupon for 10% off your next grocery purchase. I heard from one reader that the shots cost $30 per person. If you have insurance it the cost varies depending on your provider and you still get the coupon.
If you normally get a flu shot this is a great way to save an extra 10% on your groceries.
Reconsider flu shots; they’re not safe (especially for babies, pregnant women, & the elderly), & there are many natural options to keep you from getting it or to get over it quickly, like Oscillo. Check out my blog for info on vaccs etc.
And congrats on expecting again!
Safeway may be promoting flu shots, but if you put your zip code into their flu shot clinic finder, you get the addresses of stores near you and ZERO infomation about their flu shot schedules. Some promotion.
Michele, please reconsider the non-scientific hysteria about flu shots. Flu shots are safe and effective. Get them!

“Both the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend that children from the ages of 6 months through 18 years be vaccinated annually against the flu.
“Children are much more likely than adults to get sick with influenza; some 20,000 under 5 years old are hospitalized with influenza or its complications every year and nearly 100 of them die.
“Beyond that, young children regularly spread the flu virus to their families and the wider community. Preschoolers are typically the first to see the doctor for flu-related illnesses in any community, with adults trailing along about a month later.
“It seems likely that if influenza could be greatly suppressed among young children it would also decline among adults and vulnerable senior citizens.
“The vaccines are deemed safe and effective by federal health authorities. For parents who are still worried about thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative, there are flu vaccines that do not contain it.
