Did you know that allergies cost $18 million per year

 

Our family of 5 spends money on:

 

Antihistamines (we like different antihistamines and feel a certain brand works better for our bodies. So we each pick out the kind we like)

Antihistamine nose spray (my daughter and I like it, but my sons prefer to skip it as it causes nose bleeds for them)

LOTS of boxes of tissues with lotion (we buy in bulk at the warehouse store, not kidding ...)

 

Allergy shots - for all 5 of us (and my youngest is repeating allergy shots)

 

Air purifiers to help keep the air clean inside the house (even though we keep windows and doors closed during pollen season, that's half the year! So air cleaners also help if someone leaves a window or door open)

 

 

Do you spend a lot of money on allergy supplies?
