#imabzzagent - Claritin for children review

I was given the samples pictured above to try out with my own children. I am a BzzAgent and was given these samples for free to try. 

I have one child who has some pretty nasty allergy problems come spring time when everything starts blooming. He is my second boy and 7 years old. The poor guy gets itchy eyes and his nose tickles and he coughs and sneezes. It makes me stressed as a mom. I jumped on the chance to try the Claritin with him since it was made specifically for children. I started him on the chewable tablets. For his age/weight he had to take two tablets per day. He only had to take the dose once per day. Easy! I noticed by the second day that he wasn't itching his eyes and wiping his nose so much. 

I ran out of the Claritin that they sent me for free but it worked so well with his allergies that I have bought more since and he is still taking it daily and his symptoms are still greatly relieved. 

Have you tried  Claritin? They have doses for children 2+ years and for adults. 

$5 Stock up challenge - Salt

This week's stock up item was salt. I have quite a bit of plain salt and we like to use Himalayan pink salt for cooking and flavor on our meals. This was probably the most shocking of the items on the list as far as price and finding it at a more reasonable price. I used to buy it at Vitacost at 18 oz for over $5. When I checked out WinCo pricing on the bulk bin of it I found the salt for $1.27 per pound. That is an amazing savings. I went over my $5 again by spending $5.65 but this got me 4.45 pounds of salt. I am super proud of this week. 

Did you stock up on salt this week?

$5 stock up challenge - Sugar

This week the stock up challenge was for sugar. I went to WinCo again and used the bulk bins. I was able to buy regular sugar, brown sugar and powdered sugar. 

I once again went over my $5 by spending $5.86. I cant even blame this on my husband this time. I was the one who did all of the scooping. I managed to get a decent amount of sugars for the money though. I really never thought I would learn much more on how to save money but this challenge has shown me that buying in bulk from the right store can save me even more than I was saving already. 

Are you doing the $5 stock up challenge? How much sugar did you get for your money?
