Best pharmacy buys to bring home?

[smedley]

Just a thought but has anyone bought antihistamines over there? I normally pick up the advil, but for some reason have never thought to look at these and am now thinking I could possibly be saving myself a small fortune as I take them virtually year round.

And to answer my own question a quick google proves that yes I could be :/ $30 for 300 tablets in Walmart (equate brand but the same as I take here loratadine) I just paid £6 for 28 on special.

I guess we all know what I will be picking up next year

Equate Ibuprofen, costs about $7 for 500 of them. DayQuil and NyQuil equate equivalent, great for colds and Mucinex for sinus pain sufferers. Also things like Halls cough sweets come in huge bags instead of a little tube, they were on offer when we were there for $1 a bag. Pussycat

Not medicinal but Equate nail polish remover pads from Walmart are far better than any I've bought at home!

Forgot one earlier - look no further if you're eating...

At Target's (and presumably Wal-Mart's or Walgreens') Pharmacy counter, you can ask for a product called Sennagen. It's a generic Senokot (laxative) and last time I priced it was approximately one-fifth the price of the branded stuff. It comes in a bottle of 100 tablets.

Also (more of a H&B one) - if you like OPI Nail Envy, Walgreens usually does it for much cheaper than we can buy it here.

Equate sore throat spray, works wonders. Also Solarcaine burn relief spray it cools minor burns and sunburn instantly. Both from Walmart.

Acetaminophen, Advil, Tylenol, neosporin spray, anti-itch cream, antibiotic cream, kids toothpaste. Buy enough to last 2yrs then restock.

Forgot to say I also,buy Burt's Bees lip balm, much cheaper than over here, stock up with several when we go. Always have one in my pocket at work, the heat makes my lips very dry
