Covid-19 Awareness & Support

I've only seen this mini size of the Covid fighter laundry additive at Target for $4.99. Although, yes it's a better deal to buy the biggest container of this for $12.99 (regular average price at Fred Meyer), if you're tight on money or just want to try it out this would be a great alternative. Remember this laundry additive is just that an additive NOT a replacement for your regular laundry detergent. It's super easy to use (pour to the first line in the cup, the lid on it) pour into the middle of your washing machine area where laundry softeners would go (also known as the "agitator" in your washing machine and then pour to the first line in the included cup/lid and pour again into your agitator) and that should be enough for that one laundry load. This laundry additive kills cold, flu, and Covid-19 viruses and other germs (a commercial has shown how it disinfects a stuffed animal a child threw in the toilet). My mom loves the scent of it (she uses as a resu...

This hard plastic container is great for storing my stylus (I fit 2 stylus pens with a sharpie type marker) in it. This container is put in my drawstring bag that I carry around. (As you can imagine, it's quicker to grab in your bag when you have it in a container). It makes it easier when using this stylus at public pin pads at registers, etc.  The container was no more than $3 off Amazon. They come in different colors (black is one, too). 😊 My 2 stylus' were free from a job fair (one of the stylus' the pen is no longer in tact, but the other one is and I can use as a pen as well).

Within the last few months, I noticed at a Target visit that there were no $1.99 Up and Up hand wipes brand; they only had the hard container Wet Ones which cost more. I asked a worker and he said they should have some in the back (I was only needing a pack) as photographed below. I was excited that he found one!  My point: This is a reminder to at least ask a worker to look in the back if you don't see a product you want to purchase. You never know if they have it. Besides, the answer (in general) in life is always "no" unless you ask. 🙂

Another place to purchase the cheapest (all the time), yet effective & easy to carry with you hand wipes is Target. Although I used to prefer the hard container hand wipes because you didn't have to worry about re-sealing them again with a sticker (like this kind) AND you got more wipes, if you're strapped for money or don't want to want to spend much, the ones I photographed from Target (and is Target brand) is a great alternative. They are always $1.99 BEFORE tax. They are found in the disposable tableware (i.e. plates and napkins section of the store next to the Wet Ones brand hard container hand wipes). When I say easy to carry with you, you can easily store in your bag when you go out (basically I carry on me at all times unless I'm just going for a walk around my neighborhood). These hand wipes are great for preventing illness (Covid) and should be used in between regular hand washings (i.e. when touching public surfaces such as, but NOT limited to): door hand...

Came across this selfie I took (required might I add) that I had to do daily for a temp gig I did June 2020 (3 months after Covid hit). I was glad I had purchased the thermometer that you don't have to put in your mouth (instead press a button on your forehead) shortly after Covid hit before I had this gig. Who remembers taking required self-temperature checks for work? Publicly comment your response to my post.

Recently, I had gone out and realized I didn't have my hand wipes or hand sanitizer on me (rare). Instead of going back home (I was out doing timed supplemental income opportunities at stores), at one of the stores, I grabbed some free Purell hand wipes that they have in front of some stores. I put the hand wipes in a free umbrella plastic bag (that are offered in front of Total Wine & More's Puyallup location) and tied it in a loose but tight enough knot so I could open again to keep the wipes moist (they will dry out if you don't keep them in a sealed container). I photographed below what I just discussed for a visual. Now when I touch public surfaces (i.e. refrigerator doors at grocery stores, pin pads at check-out machines, etc.) I can safely.

Shortly after Covid hit, I was at Rite Aid wanting to purchase a 1,000 mg of Vitamin C. (This was one of the recommendations to prevent Covid to take 1,000 mg of Vitamin C daily). One of the customers in the store snatched the last one so I had the next best thing (photographed below) which was 500 mg of Vitamin C. I had asked the cashier if taking 2-500 mg tablets would equte 1,000 mg. She didn't know so she told me to ask the pharmacy and I did. And yes, taking 2-500 mg tablets would equate to 1,000 mg of Vitamin C.
