6. Over-the-counter medicine
If you have a big family, perhaps it seems like the most economical deal to buy a big bottle of Ibuprofen of Tylenol. But unless you’re using them every day (and you absolutely shouldn’t), you may not be able to use them all up before they expire. It’s much safer to buy what you need, as you need it. Please consider at-home remedies for aches and pain, too, like coconut oil muscle balm, headache balm with essential oils or even turmeric. These options are all-natural and contain no harmful side effects. That’s a bargain if we’ve ever heard of one!
