You can grab some very reasonably priced Hydrogen Peroxide again at Walgreens this week. The 16 oz bottle is on sale with in-ad coupon 3/$1, plus this item qualifies for the Free Build-Your Own First Aid Kit. Since this is an in-ad coupon, you only need to buy two and you’ll pay 67¢ for both of these and the bag. Be sure to look for the specially marked bag that has $10 worth of coupons inside. Please note some of the store signage still reads buy 3 products for the Free case, but this was the offer last year!  You only need two.

If you’ve already accumulated  a few bottles of Hydrogen Peroxide, here is a list of the uses of Hydrogen Peroxide. I searched the web and found out…Hydrogen Peroxide is an anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral agent that you can use for cleaning, healthcare and other household situations…

1. Laundry Aid: A cup of hydrogen peroxide in your load of white laundry will help whiten them. Also, if you have blood stains on white fabric, you can use hydrogen peroxide directly on the stain and wait a minute before you rub and wash it with cold water. Be certain the stains are fresh. Don’t try this on clothes that you have already laundered in hot water. For colored fabrics, however, hydrogen peroxide will likely discolor them!
2. Humidifier/Steamer Aid: If you use a humidifier or steamer, you can use a solution of one pint of hydrogen peroxide to one gallon of water.
3. Vegetable Wash: You can use a quarter cup of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide to a sink full of water. Soak your vegetables from 20-30 minutes (the thicker the vegetable, the longer the soak). Dry and then put these in the refrigerator. This process will neutralize chemicals, kill bacteria and prolong the life of your vegetables. 
4. Meat Wash: You can use it to wash your meat before cooking it.
5. Cleaning the bathroom: Use a 50/50 solution of hydrogen peroxide and water to clean various surfaces in your bathroom including mirrors.
6. Cleaning the kitchen: You can use the 50/50 solution in a spray bottle to clean wooden cutting board and kill the bacterial left behind by the foods you prepare such a salmonella. But be sure to follow this with a vinegar as well.
7. Cleaning after your pet: A combination of Hydrogen Peroxide & vinegar makes a non-toxic effective disinfectant for pet toys and cages.
8. Cleaning the Mold: If you ever have water damage in your home (hopefully, you won’t), you can use Hydrogen peroxide to clean the mold which is hazardous to your health.
9. Wound Wash: You can use it to remove dirt, blood and dead tissue when you have a scrape or cut.
10. Oral Rinse: You can use it with a little bit of chlorophyll as an inexpensive mouthwash, but if you don’t need this (because you get your mouthwash at Walgreens for 52¢), you can also use it to promote healing when you have a throat infection. A friend of mine had pharyngitis a few months ago and her otolaryngologist recommended a Hydrogen Peroxide and water solution rinse as part of her treatment (in addition to antibiotics, of course).
