This Frugal Family

My family, and I, have been using Salonpas for some time.  However, now that they have a Double Size Patch, in a Value Pack, we love them even more.  My daughter, age 22, has had problems with her back, since she was 14.  She uses Salonpas all of the time.  She loves the new larger patches, because it covers the entire area affected.   Her dad uses Salonpas Patches, as well, for back problems, associated with a work injury from 20 years ago.  It helps relieve his pain, as well. With 3% Menthol, 10% Methyl Salicylate, and Topical Analgesic, Sarah says, “these patches couldn’t be better!”  They are FDA Approved, and are Non-Prescription.   You can get 9 Large Patches, that will last for 8-12 hours, to subside your pain. On the side, of the box, are instructions on how to use the patches.  Only use 1 patch at a time, for your protection.  You will love the way you feel, once you start using these patches. These patches are for Backache, Sore Muscles, Sprains and Bruises.  We’ve used them for back pain, and my daughter says she will never use another brand. May is National Arthritis Awareness Month, and…
