Flu Shots at Costco
Mike and I are addicted to Costco. We go ever weekend. Maybe more if we’re being truthful.
This weekend we picked up a new vacuum cleaner, bottled water, dog treats, and a flu shot. Yes. A flu shot. I was so excited when I saw the nurses that I ditched Mike, plunked down my $20, and stuck my arm out. That’s $50 cheaper than at the doctor’s office!
Mike refuses to get a flu shot, but I’ve had one every year since 1999, and while I’ve come down with some nasty colds, I’ve never gotten the “coming out of both ends” flu.
So, did you get a flu shot this year? Did you get it at the doctor’s office, at church, at the local pharmacy? Or do you stay as far away from the flu shot as possible?

I’ve never heard of this before, but I guess it makes sense. I mean, wholesale is wholesale, right? If they’re undercutting the doctor, more power to them!

We used to get free flu shots at Verizon. I miss those days. Now I have to pay $20 like everyone else if I want one. There have been years that I have gotten them and was sick a few weeks later anyway. I will probably just take my chances this year.

Jon – they certainly did! After our copay and the cost of the flu shot, the doctor would have charged $70 compared to Costco’s $20. Not to mention I was in and out of line in under 5 minutes and would have sat in the waiting room for at least an hour at the doctors.
More reasons to love Costco!

Laurie – Kite gave free flu shots, too. They would come to your office and give them to you right at your desk!

That is really funny.
