02.22.08 Parasite Update: Publix Versus Stinky Pete
Publix fills prescriptions for oral antibiotics like Cipro for free. FREE! Did you know this? Unbelievable, and much appreciated by folks like me without insurance and with a case of colon critters. Thank you Publix.
And don’t think I’m completely naive, folks. I know why they do this: So I’ll buy stuff while they enter me in their little database and count those little magic pills into a bottle. Fine with me. I bought some chicken. Some Mardis Gras chicken wings (TM), to be precise. Some yummy Mardis Gras chicken wings (TM) - now only $6.69/lb in the Publix Deli.
Publix: Where shopping is a pleasure (R). Passionately focused on customer value, intolerant of waste; dedicated to the dignity, value and employment security of their associates; devoted to the highest standards of stewardship for their stockholders, and involved as responsible citizens in their communities.
And free exterminators of Stinky Pete the Ugandan parasite.

Stinky Pete is a good name.

I heart Publix as well. Clean stores and free samples, too. Last week after church, the nice sample lady provided us with two plump coconut shrimp and a side of chocolate cherry cheesecake.

So very glad you are now waging a battle against your little bugger.
I am ever so thankful for Doug Van Pelt’s Cipro. My colon is better than new. I had cheesecake for breakfast.

Agreed! I blog frequently about the merits of Publix!
Glad you’re feeling better, and thank you for sharing your powerful stories!

Um, are Mardi Gras chicken wings perhaps the best way to settle down Stinky Pete?
Seriously, I’m glad you went to the doctor and that Publix (whose CEO is a Baylor grad) has a good policy on these things.

Stinky Pete is the Prospector from Toy Story!
Hooray for Publix and Cipro to get rid of it all!
Feel better, Shaun.

Do Mardi Gras wings come with little teeny tiny bead necklaces?

WOW, I hope I am moving near a Publix. That is just a great deal! I hope your “Stinky” friend leaves you soon!
Blessings,

There’s a Publix right in front of our pediatrician’s office. Love it! We fill our prescriptions there even when they are not free… simply out of appreciation (and it’s convenient!)
