The Budget Diet girl is a big believer in buying store brands when it comes to saving money at the grocery, but don't forget about store brands when it comes to health and wellness products like over the counter medications, skin care products and more.

It's time to break the habit of automatically reaching for the national brand when you're buying a health or wellness product.

It's time to start saving money.

It's time to…

STOP,

THINK, and

CALCULATE!

Recently, I purchased Walgreens Brand Pain Reliever / Acetaminophen because…

• It has the same active ingredient at Tylenol…just read the label!
• It's pharmacist recommended…WOW!
• It comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee…what do you have to lose?
• It was $7.99 for 100 gelcaps vs. $10.99 for Tylenol…that's pretty simple math!

I took it for a headache, my daughter took it for a sore ankle and the pain was gone! This was our first time to try the Walgreens Brand Pain Reliever because I am guilty of assuming that the national brand is better. From now on, I need to follow my own advice and STOP, THINK and CALCULATE! Think about it, if the only difference is cost, and there's a 100% satisfaction guarantee…why not give the store brand a try?

With healthcare costs skyrocketing, we could all use a little savings, and it's nice to know that you can save money without sacrificing quality or trust when it comes to Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products.

If you need more encouragement than just the savings, you'll be pleased to know that every purchase of a Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Product supports the Walgreens Way to Well Fund™ which brings preventive healthcare to those in need.
