Review and Great Deal: Zarbee's Cough Syrup

I was recently sent a sample of Zarbee's Cough Syrup  to review. I was thrilled because both of my kids get weird quick illnesses and I'm always looking for natural solutions to ease their discomfort. A few days after I got the sample, my 4 year old developed a cough. I gave him Claritin because he was sneezing, too. He coughed through dinner and into bedtime. So, I thought I would give Zarbee's a try. Within minutes, his hours long cough was gone. Since he does have allergies, his throat gets itchy which makes him cough more. Zarbee's is made from honey, vitamins (one does contains a daily serving of vitamin C!), and natural ingredients. It has no alcohol!

Zarbee's comes in cherry or lemon flavors. We received cherry. I tried it (for research purposes) and it was very good. My son typically likes medicine and he liked this. He said it tasted like waffles. I guess he meant it tasted like syrup and I would agree, it has a sweet taste because of the honey.

I highly recommend Zarbee's for all children 12 months and older. I am going to make sure we always have some on hand.

Right now, you can buy either flavor in a 4 oz bottle for $2 using code USA. This deal is good through July 5th and there is no limit to how many bottles you can buy at that price!! Shipping is free, as well!

UPDATE: From Facebook, "We had a HUGE response from the coupon. We unfortunately had to cut it short. We WILL be running more so stay tuned and get your friends and family to join our facebook page!!" So...if you want to get $2 cough syrup, like their Facebook page!

Save on Medication

I saw this on our local news last night and had to share it with you. The Attorney General and The Agency for Health Care Administration created a new website to help you shop for prescription medications and save money. MyFloridaRX will help you figure out which pharmacy in your area has your medicine at the lowest price. It covers all Florida counties. It is a new website so not all pharmacies or medications are listed at this time (Publix and Target are not and my birth control was not) but it's still a great resource. I searched one of my son's asthma medications (which we paid $400 for when he was between insurance companies) and between CVS, Wal-Mart, and Walgreens the price goes from $361.99 to $543.99! If I was still paying cash for this, I would LOVE to know I could save $182 a month just by switching to CVS. Search your medication and see where you can save!

Also, Publix has added the generic form of Glucophage (a diabetes medication) to it's free list. Here are the rest of free medications you can get at Publix.
