A big savings for me over time
August 1st, 2006 at 02:12 amI have major sinus problems and each month for I don't know how long, have had to buy a box of sinus pills to last me the month.
This week I did some searching to see if I could find a home remedy of sorts that would do as good so I wouldn't have to buy the pills any longer.
What I come up with is that peppermint tea is supposed to work for this.
Today while at Walmart, I bought a box of peppermint tea [just to see if it woud work or not] and had to try it tonight and yes - it did seem to work!!
So, the next time instead of buying the expensive tea bags, what I may do is to buy some generic tea bags and a bag of sugar-free peppermint hard candies [which would dissolve in hot water] and voila! I should have peppermint tea for cheaper.
According to my figuring - at $3.24 a box per month for 12 months, it comes to $38.88 [plus tax, or at least I think they charge tax on that here in PA.]
And, over a 5 year period of time - I'd be saving $194.40. Close to $200.00!!
I really hope this will work [I'm going to try it till this box of tea is gone to make sure that it'll consistently work before I spend money for tea and peppermint candy that I wouldn't otherwise use for anything.]
Wish me luck!
