The most inexpensive place in town to get Covid tests since the South Hill Library stopped giving out for free a while ago

Last Saturday, when I had business to tend to at Albertsons (Puyallup, WA location), I also ensured to buy an up-to-date Covid test to have on hand (I checked at home before going & saw my ones from the library were expired by a month even with their extension expiration dates they had). I remember seeing them for the BEST price that I've seen at places I go to (Fred Meyer and Walgreens) at Albertsons in front of their pharmacy. (They don't close off their pharmacy area [like Fred Meyer does] so you can get even if the pharmacy is closed). For one Covid test, it's $9.99. (I took a picture of the Covid tests in front of the pharmacy at Albertsons so that you know what I'm referencing if you want to buy there/check them out). There are also $14.99 tests (a test that will tell you if you have the flu or Covid) and are also photographed in the same photo below as that's how they are displayed in front of the pharmacy. 




My personal opinion on if you should get the Covid test or the flu and Covid test, ask yourself these questions: 1) Do I have the extra money to spare for the flu and Covid test? 2) Do I really need to know if I have the flu or can I tell without taking a test? (I mean I personally felt completely different than any kind of sick I had ever had when I got Covid that one time and that was BEFORE any long-term breathing problems). However, I still wanted to confirm it with a test. Honestly, if you're following my advice regarding what I posted about previously (when you get sick of any kind, to immediately cancel your plans that involve meeting up with others and staying home [unless it's for necessary things such as having to run to the store if you need remedies AND/OR to an outdoor ATM], having a non-expired Covid test would be good to still take (if you're unsure and/or you're really sick, etc.) I had a cold once since Covid has hit and knew it wasn't Covid and I was right and no test was taken. I am by no means advocating to skimp on NOT taking Covid tests.

Leftover different types of lung teas I took to help recover after I had Covid

Image
To assist with the long-term breathing problems I had when recovering from Covid, I took a picture of the leftover different types of lung teas I still have in my pantry (BELOW). I liked the "Lung Soother" (tea that's pictured in the middle of the other teas) best with regard to taste especially after letting it steep for awhile (when the taste of the tea intensifies) it's still good. These teas were bought off of Amazon. The price of the Lung Soother tea was in the $6 range. I have this leftover Mucus Relief Maximum Strength tablets (BELOW) from when I had Covid. I don't think they did much, but when I checked the expiration on it today (it's still good until 3/2025). I won't photograph other healthy breathing supplements (tablet form) that I took as I no longer have and besides I honestly think the lung teas (which are supplements as well) are the most beneficial. Be sure to follow the instructions for the tea/(s) you choose to drink. I also won't...

The Breather

Image
The Breather (BELOW) is a drug free way to exercise your lungs (I used several times a day when recovering from Covid). It has different levels of resistance that you work up to (similar to how one would when using hand weights when exercising). You can adjust the "inhale" and "exhale" resistance levels on the device to your comfort level. You have to wash the Breather daily with soap and water (I used dish soap & dish sponge) and you can wipe it down (however, letting it air dry like you would dishes, for example) lets it dry in the interior so when you use next you won't be sucking in water drops (when inhaling in & out). I could notice the difference when it was still wet on the inside (even when exhaling with the Breather if it was wet). There's a short video you can watch (paperwork including tracking your "reps" the amount of inhale & exhales [breaths] you take with the Breather to ensure that you're using correctly) that you ...

2 Covid prevention tips

Image
Covid prevention tip #1:  Either have antibacterial hand wipes OR hand sanitizer spray OR gel (minimally on you at all times) so that you can quickly disinfect hands after touching commonly touched surfaces in public/NOT have to touch commonly touched surfaces in public (i.e. if you use the hand wipe as a barrier when touching commonly touched surfaces such as doorknobs or pin pads at checkout). Well known brands for antibacterial hand wipes are "Wet Ones" and "Purell", of course store brand wipes work as well. Covid prevention tip #2:  To further support my point in Covid prevention tip #1, I was at Walgreens tonight and I thought I'd use the hand wipes that they provide in store since it'd be quicker to grab than my wipes in my bag (for wiping the shopping cart). I expected the first wipe or 2 to be dry, but even after grabbing a few, they were all so dry that I dug out my hand wipes (see photo below) that I got for the first time (first time I've eve...
