Default Spotted: Generic Miralax!

Today at costco, I spied the generic Miralax at Costco today. Their brand is called LAXACLEAR and it is sold in two 50 dose containers for $24.99 at the store here in VT.

To compare, Miralax is sold in two 30 dose containers for 29.99 so you get 40 doses more for $5.00 less- what a bargain!

I didn't see them the last time I was there so I had already paid the 29.99 for the brand name, sadly! But next time I know!

I planned on going tomorrow. Love their organic mixed veggies. Just started using Miralax so I will look for this.

Default Sam's Club - ClearLax

Not as good of a deal as Costco, but I saw the Member's Mark ClearLax (compare to MiraLAX) for $19.88 for 60 doses (2 bottles of 30 once daily doses).

You can also ask your doctor to write a prescription for it (it still is available by prescription for LARGE quantities)...I get a TON of it for my $5 co-pay.

I don't take Miralax, but my mom swears by it. Next time I'm at Sam's, I'll keep my eye open for it.

I'm amazed at the cheap prices of OTC generic drugs at Sam's Club. Last week I bought 170 pills of generic Pepcid AC for only $9.88. That's probably more than I'll ever need before they expire, but it was cheaper than buying a small package elsewhere.
