Are you sure it wasn't from the "used meat bin" that people talk
about here sometimes about grocery stores? Old, going out of date
meat on sale.

Maybe this was from the store's "used flu shot bin." Selling last
year's flu shot at a discount to clear the old stock. heh heh
And yes, folks...I *am* just kidding with this one.

One question, Ed: You said it was billed to insurance. Do you
happen to know how much it cost? Did your receipt show the amount
billed to your coverage?

I don't have prescription coverage so I'm wondering.
