Relief

Hello again. I was very depressed no longer finding my aspirin I like in stores, so I searched online for it. Since the shipping cost is more than one box of my painkiller, I hoped to find a site that also carries my allergy medicine that is getting hard to find. Guess what, after several hours of searching, I found one that carried both. Then an amazing discovery occurred. I was looking for the right one when I spotted a new medicine of the same brand for the same symptoms. I checked both active ingredients and dosage, which happen to be exactly the same. Now that is weird. Of course I picked the cheaper one.
That reminded me of when Claritin went non-prescription and copycat brands with exact same active ingredient and dosage came afterwards with a lesser price. Go figure. I amazed my brother figuring that one out. My parents taught me well not to think a brand name makes the product better. I hate admitting my cheap parents were right on things, but on this one they were. Though I wish my parents would have let me have at least one name brand clothing piece in my teen years. Image is everything to a teenager even when people call you a dork. Post later. Bye!
