In the category of 'outrageously expensive"

1 bottle children's cough medicine + 1 30 pack allergy pills = $58.00

The good news is that you can get Fexofenadine (aka generic Allegra) for about $1.50 per pill, rather than the $2.00 per pill you'd pay if you had to pay for your own prescriptions. The bad news, of course, is that I never had to pay for my own prescriptions.

All the OTC allergy meds are equally expensive. A months's worth of Claritin will set me back more than I would pay for a year's worth at Costco.

A bottle of Benadryl set us back $28. The tin foil-ist in me thinks this is the drug companies way to make the profits they cannot make in the US at Target, Wal-Mart, etc.
