False EconomiesSometimes the cheapest option isn't the right one. I fondly remember my neighbours going to a well-known catalogue-based store and buying the cheapest lawnmower they stocked. How we laughed as they realised it had non-rotating wheels and died when presented with grass. Tell us about times you or others have been let down by being a cheapskate.

Brands are for suckersI buy my ibuprofen in Poundland or similar. It's ibuprofen. It's exactly the same as Nurofen / Advil except it costs 1/5th the price.
In the US they take it one step further. If you go into a CVS or Walgreens they'll plonk the CVS/Walgreens own brand medicine right next to the advertised product. The packaging will use similar colours and it will contain the same number of pills but they'll hang a sign saying compare the active ingredients. It's usually half the price and it's the same thing. Sadly CVS and Walgreens do this for utter shit like homeopathic medicine where there is no "active" ingredient but they still want the money anyway.

It's probably half that in Aldi.Paracetamol is 16p, and you can normally multiply that by 3 to get the price of ibuprofen.
Probably all made by Galpharm, anyway - they seem to supply all the own brand pharmaceuticals.

Eeeuuurgh.Paracetamol is one of the worst suicide methods.
The poor fuckers who choose it are apparently not aware that high doses will mainly just kill your liver and kidneys leaving everything else in tact. This generally results in a slow painful and death over the course of about a week as everything else shuts down due to build up of untreated bodily waste products, and subsequent multiple organ failure.

Yeah, and they wake up the morning after their overdoseand think "oh look, I'm still alive. It didn't work. Just as well, I've now changed my mind and decided to embrace life." Then die in agony 3 days later.
