    A number of the online pharmacies sell bottles of 500 standard Piriton tablets for under £10 - including the Chemist4U site linked to on this week's email. It's actual Pirton, not an own-brand equivalent, the difference being that the tablets just come loose in a big bottle rather than in the little blister packs. But it works out much cheaper than any of the smaller non-branded packs, even when they're on offer (2p per tablet). You can't get big packs of the non-drowsy or one-a-day ones though, just the standard ones.

    :D

    Can't remember the name of the brand but it's the same as the one they sell in the £ shop. Loratadine at Aldi is 69p for 14.
    House saving Targets:
    £17,700 / £20,000
  • Sainsbury's do own-brand Cetirizine in packets of 30 cheap (but can't remember price) not on display, ask at Pharmacy.

    The pots of 500 Piriton are available to purchase and offer a vast saving on Piriton 30s and 60s, but as they are loose in a tub and have no child resistant top, I would not advise any families with children to purchase them.

    Thanks

    Oneclickpharmacy have got packs of 30 Loratadine 10mg (non drowsy, the same as likes of tesco, sainsburys cheap non drowsy) for 60p. Postage is £2.85 tho, but may still be worth it if buying other bits or in bulk. I've bought 6 packs :D So I have loads now. If you buy 6 packs, even with postage it works out at approx 50p/14 tablets (as opposed to 75p-£1 in supermarkets). :D

    Linky!
