Medicine & First Aid, honestly

What's the cheapest medicine & first aid per tablet we've recorded?

Curist Fexofenadine Hydrochloride 180mg (300 Tablets) - 24 HR Antihistamine Allergy Relief Tablets (300 Count) All Day Strength Generic Fexofenadine Bulk Non Drowsy Allergy Relief at $0.12 per tablet (300 tablet, recorded price checked 4 mo ago). Prices move — every item links out to Amazon to check today's price.

Is it cheaper to buy medicine & first aid on Amazon or at the store?

For 1 of the 7 medicine & first aid items we track, the Amazon cart beat the store shelf once the trip is charged in — the drive and your time add about $14.45 to every store run before you buy anything. For the rest we either found the store winning (and we say so) or don't have shelf data yet.

How do you calculate these prices?

Every price is a recorded price from a real order or a periodic re-check, stamped with when we captured it — nothing here is scraped live. The store side of every comparison also carries the trip: 11 miles round trip at 26 mpg plus 52 minutes of your time. You can change every assumption on the trip cost calculator.
