With the upcoming holiday season quickly approaching, it is important to remember a few tips to help keep you, your wallet and your home healthy.  Whether you plan on focusing on a healthy wallet through thoughtful spending, a healthy home by avoiding the season’s germs or a healthier you with winter wellness activities, your local Dollar General can help you with all your holiday needs!

Healthier Home

Wellness can start at home! The holidays can be a busy time around the home with friends and family visiting frequently. To prepare, consider establishing a cleaning game plan to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Get your home into pristine shape with Dollar General by stocking up on supplies like grip sponges, drawstring trash bags, DG™ home odor eliminator, cleaning vinegar, disinfectant wipes and much more! Create a holiday season routine by dedicating one day a week or a few minutes each day to tidying around the home or sprucing up. Small changes each day can make a lasting difference all season long!

As you start thinking of holiday meals to serve at home, head to Dollar General Easy Meals or http://content.dollargeneral.com/easy-meals/ for healthier, delicious recipes and tips for homecooked meals. Each of Dollar General’s 16,000 stores offer components of a healthy diet including milk, eggs, bread, cheese, proteins, frozen and canned vegetables, canned fruits, grains and more.

Healthier You

Internal wellness can be just as important as wellness at home. The cooler temperatures may bring about many viruses and bacteria, so be sure to watch for the warning signs and consider taking preventable measures to stay well. Remember to  drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, even when busy, to help the body flush out toxins and help prevent illness.

Consider stocking up on over-the-counter vitamins and minerals to improve winter wellness with brands like DG Health®, Rexall®, One A Day®, Centrum® and many more by visiting your local Dollar General or online. Dollar General offers a wide assortment of products to help supplement a range of health and wellness needs in the winter and throughout the year.
