Summer is Here and So are the Scrapes and Cuts

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

With the prices of everything going up these days, when you need any drug store product, it is best to purchase the store brand product. Even though the packaging looks different than the brand product, that does not mean the ingredients are any different. In fact, all one has to do is pick up the brand and store brand product and read both their ingredients side my side. As you read the ingredients of both brands, you will see most contain                same thing.

As it turns out, the FDA requires the brand and store brand to use the same ingredients for effectiveness. It seems I always need an ointment in my home. In fact, I keep one in the bathroom and one in the kitchen. The place I began to purchase my ointment from is Walgreens. Within the past two years, I have begun purchasing the Walgreens Triple Antibiotic Ointment Original Strength.  h. 

When opened this Walgreens Triple Antibiotic Ointment Original Strength, I could not wait to open and use it. My twins get hurt almost everyday. They get scrapes, cuts, you name it, they have them and having this Walgreens Triple Antibiotic Ointment Original Strength  on hand is a must.

Now, before I found this product, I used a name brand ointment which has the same ingredients as the Walgreens Triple Antibiotic Ointment Original Strength . Along with the ingredients being the same, I found the prices were different. The brand name product was more expensive, while working the same as the Walgreens Triple Antibiotic Ointment Original Strength  product.

With summer here, it is quite likely you, a family member or friend will get hurt. That means there is not time like the present to purchase Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products. When you purchase any of the Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products, it helps support preventative wellness services to local communities through the Walgreens Way to Well Fund™. Walgreens will contribute up to $3 million annually.  The Walgreens Way to Well Fund^TM  will provide free preventative health check ups as well as other health services.
