BUDGET BOOSTER + PINK FUZZY

Money is great but its even greater when you are saving lives in the process of making it. If you don't donate plasma but you are eligible to, I seriously recommend you consider it. At Octapharma Plasma on Broadway at Centerville, one can expect a 3-4 hour visit, no matter what they tell you on the phone. First time donars receive 75, 50, 50,50, and 75 for their first five donation. Then, the fluffier of us receive 25 for our first donation of the week and 50 for our second. You can only donate twice a week. Amounts vary by location. Restrictions do apply. Obviously they don't want contaminated blood so they refuse anyone with certain risk factors. They check your iron every time and it must be a 38 or better. If this is a problem for you, eat things high in iron, compliment them with vitamin C, and avoid calcium. Vitamin C helps absorb iron while calcium acts more like a wall. They also check protein. They monitor your weight to make sure you haven't gained or lost an alarming amount.
