When I find a product I like I buy about 10 years worth of
it at a time so that I don’t ever risk the chance of running out. Enter Vick’s
Soothing Vapor Shower Disk. My ridiculously large supply of Vick’s tablets made
the move with me to Washington, & lasted me the 16 months I’ve lived here.
Last week while doing my weekly grocery shopping, I finally remembered I needed
to replenish my stash. I mosey on over to the pharmaceutical aisle, ready to
stash up for another 10 years. I’m having a bit of trouble locating them, but
I figure it’s cause Washington probably keeps them in another aisle. I head
over to the pharmacist to ask him where they’re kept. I was not happy with his answer. THEY ARE
DISCONTINUED!!!!!!!!! As in Vick’s DOES NOT MAKE THEM ANYMORE!!!
Enter Pinterest & it’s amazing DIYers. As I frantically
do a quick search for a do-it-at-home resolution, I found Sarah at
Being Frugal By Choice.
Thank any & all Gods! My problem is solved!
