One thing I know for sure about resolutions is that they don’t work unless you do two things first:  1.  Break ‘em down; and 2.  Make a plan.  Here’s an example:  Let’s say you resolve to be a better athlete, have a better body, or “get stronger” this year.  Those alone are not resolutions that [...]

I hope you have the best Christmas ever, ever, ever!  And if you’re not celebrating Christmas, I hope today is still among your best. We realize it’s been a tough year for a lot of people.  Let’s all take a moment today to reflect on the good things - the things we can be thankful for even if [...]

Without a doubt the best part about the holiday season, for me, is the food.   In fact, I  feel sorry for people who don’t love food as much as I do.  I am totally serious.  It’s my #1 passion.  I’m happiest when I’m planning, shopping and cooking a meal for a whole bunch of people.  Todd and I [...]

There are a lot of reasons you could become stranded on the road – running out of gas, a dead battery, a flat tire, getting stuck in the mud or snow, bad weather, losing your keys or mechanical failures to name a few. If you do get stranded remember to stay calm, use your head [...]

Once you’ve taken the Steps to Winterize your Car, it is unlikely that you’ll experience a breakdown due to mechanical failure, but you never know what else might leave you stuck in your car. Millions of motorists are stranded each year because of bad weather, accidents, flat tires, getting stuck in the mud or snow, [...]

[...]

It would be great to know what you think we should add to the site. For example, what specific medical supplies and brands do you buy from others that you can’t get at AllegroMedical.com?  Give us the scoop on the latest greatest thing in catheters, diabetes supplies, fitness products, maternity, dietary supplements or pain relief.  [...]

We’re a turkey house on both Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Sure, I enjoy a little ham on the side, but I certainly wouldn’t serve JUST ham.  Growing up in Nebraska, however, I saw a lot of beef for Christmas dinner.  Who doesn’t love a nice prime rib at your holiday feast?  Me, that’s who.  I will probably be [...]

Happy Holidays!   I’m Craig Hood, President of Allegro Medical. Over a decade ago I started this great company with the express goal of helping folks like you find the medical supplies and equipment needed to take care of yourself, your families and your patients. Many said it wouldn’t work – that people wouldn’t buy [...]

Out of town guests for the holidays?  Face it, the last thing you need to worry about while entertaining is your niece sticking her barrette in the light socket, or the neighbor’s kid falling down the stairs or your boss’s little cutie pulling the bookshelf over on top of herself.  Ahhhh…. Do yourself a favor [...]
