What you need in a first aid kit

Published on October 31, 2016

[disclaim]Our familia loves Target and we’re happy to be partnering with them for #TheCVSDifference campaign.[/disclaim]

As you know, we do our part in supporting CVS Pharmacy inside our local Target. It literally has anything that we need for our health – including our first aid kit supplies! With all the earthquake warnings we’ve been having in Souther California, I figured it was the perfect time to make sure our kit is fully stocked. Here’s what we put in ours:

First aid kit supplies

sterile gauze pads
adhesive tape
bandages in different sizes
elastic bandage
antiseptic wipes
antibiotic ointment
hydrogen peroxide
hydrocortisone cream (1%)
acetaminophen and ibuprofen
tweezers
sharp scissors
safety pins
disposable instant cold packs
alcohol wipes
ethyl alcohol
thermometer
plastic non-latex gloves
flashlight and extra batteries
a blanket
mouthpiece for administering CPR
our emergency preparedness plan

We purchased a starter first aid kit at CVS Pharmacy inside Target because of the convenience and the cute container. However, we do end up using a few items here and there, and the first aid kit seemed to be missing a couple of things that we find to be useful. So we just added to it!

And I can’t help it – we always buy way more bandages that we need because the selection is just too freakin’ cute.

And with two kids in the house, I also make sure that there is a kid-friendly version of the medicine that the adults in the house use.

All the other supplies, I’m happy to buy either name brand or Up & Up branded because I know that I can use my Target red card at the CVS Pharmacy inside the Target and save 5% on my purchase.

The CVS Pharmacy inside our Target is a condensed version of the fabulous CVS Pharmacy and it has all the first aid kit supplies we need. Next time you visit, make sure you also purchase a smaller first aid kit for your car and another to take with you on your travels.

Also, if you have a prescription you need filled, remember that CVS Pharmacy has a leading ExtraCare loyalty program and the opt-in ExtraCare Pharmacy & Health Rewards that alows patients to earn $5 in ExtraBucks Rewards for every 10 prescriptions filled. Patients can also earn rewards for the other things they do to stay healthy, like getting immunizations or choosing email refill reminders.
