Neti-pot, Neti-pot, what are you used for?

   Okay, sorry about the title. In my head, I was singing those words to the tune of Phoebe Buffet's "Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat" song....
   I recently bought a Neti-pot and a bunch of Robitussin on a trip to the grocery store. I was perusing the "clearance" aisle and came upon some great deals. Now that the weather is turning colder and the leaves are falling, my allergies are due to pack their punch. For quite some time, I'd been considering getting a Neti-pot to help with keeping sinus infections away (if I don't get at least 3 a year, I would think that something was wrong). I saw this on sale and I just had to get it!

 I've used this treasure every time I feel a tingle in my sinus' and everything clears right up. Add in $1/gallon for clean, purified water and I save myself from having to take antibiotics and feeling downright crummy.  Normally these "pots" run at $15/pop, but I got mine on sale at $3.56.
    Savings: $11.44


    I also got 2 packs of Robitussin from the "clearance" aisle. I don't like to take meds, but usually in the winter, I get a serious-nasty cough, so with these being "clearanced" down to $2.86 from $11.45, I'd be a fool not to swipe them up.

Total spent: $5.72. Savings: $17.18
