Calpol Deals & Offers

Can get cheaper equivalent from any local pharmacy

My daughter still teething, she likes the Tesco own £2 cherry balbol as she calls it

I feel for you. Think we've had her first 6 come through this lockdown. Non stop!

In the same boat as you. (annoyed) 🤤

Excellent thanks. The joys of teething 😔

It’s ok I was going to my parents house who live 260 miles away anyway.... Just joking obviously. I wouldn’t be that irresponsible. (On a more serious note. Good deal OP. Heat added).

Worth a drive to St Albans, even if only to test my eye sight

About average price really. And much cheaper alternatives with same level of pain relief.

At first glance I thought that pic was tins of quality streets. They have just as much sugar as calpol

Can't even get into Costco to buy anything! (fierce)

This stuff for kids is like the equivalent of a crisp pint by the beach for adults! (lol)

Heat added and good price but can’t justify their membership fees and that’s reason I don’t go there... good price for the those who has got the membership.

Yeah when we gave him the sugarfree it actually put him in more pain with wind, poor little guy. https://www.healthline.com/health/food-nutrition/iis-maltitol-safe We googled the ingredients because he was fine on the sugar one and saw this.

Link for the sugar version is in the description

Really? I thought it would have been a better bet than sugar 🙈 just bought some elsewhere.

Now it is and i state that in my description Over the past few weeks alot stores did not have and some people may not be a able to go out or just prefer it delivered

You can buy sugar version at same price. Our little one gets ill from sugarfree like many others.

Cool story 8)

How can something be better than free? The only thing better than free is if you've getting paid by Amazon to use prime? Are you? You seem to have misunderstood. I'm just saying prime is not free (y)

It is not, but there is a big 'if' here. I desperately needed this or something similar 3 weeks ago and I could not find it anywhere, as in a moment of panic, people cleared the shelves everywhere.

No it's better than free as I have used more than I put in. Not really that hard to understand (confused)

Cool story 8) I'm not saying Amazon prime isn't worth it. Just saying it's not "FREE"

Your welcome It says temporarily out of stock but you can still order and they will dispatch once in stock

Thank you for tagging me 💛💛💛 I'll keep an eye on stuck as currently still out x

@PICNIC This might help you

Ta. Actually was in stock a couple of days ago too. Fortunately wife managed to get some inbetween for the kids.

When I couldn't get my hands on calpol, I ended up buying tesco version. It's cheaper and has the same amount of paracetomal in it. Worth a try if you're desperate on getting some medicine for the little ones!

Seen digital thermometers in the £1 shop

Yeah, and the thermometer is FREE (lol) (lol) (lol) (lol) (lol) (lol) (lol) (lol) (lol) (lol) (lol) (popcorn) (popcorn) (popcorn) (popcorn) (popcorn) (popcorn) (popcorn)

Crazy pricing when you can buy it in home bargains and pound shops for a third of the price

It's 200ml sized bottles. Normal size are 100ml, so standard price really.

£6.35 for a bottle of calpol??? 😫

Thanks, will try these and see how they go

These are strong but they’re meant to fill the room and save reapplication of things like vicks. They seem to help somewhat at least but at times I don’t think there’s anything that can help some nights. The vicks on feet with socks is an old wives tale I think. It didn’t work for us when we tried it desperation at least. (lol)

We have 2 of these, one for each child as they tend to get a blocked/ snotty nose at the same time. As said above they really do work but are quite strong. When using a new pad I tend to put it in place without switching on just before bed time. Then switch it on for an hour or so to help the kids get to sleep with the door slightly open then switch it off when I go to bed. The odour usually lasts all night from there and I can get another night out of the pad using the same process. I’ve used it myself when I’ve had man flu and felt soo much better the next morning. You can sometimes get a good price with the plug included so it’s worth checking?

Does these have expiry dates?

Yeah, they really do work! Like someone else said I was quite shocked at how strong they are but we just keep the humidifier low and switch it off through the night if we need to. It was the only thing that helped my 6 month old sleep when he had a really bad cold!

Only 2 at a time

How many can you purchase in one transaction?

Shame its not. £1.99 calpol 6+ and £2.99 nurofen at my local. Still good price as I needed theses two. They are £3.50 normally.

Be looking tomorrow for these, thanks!

One of my local did not even had any. Willl check the other one in a bit.

Oops didn’t read the full details , I thought it came with the plug as the title seller described as such but nope just refills!!

Sounds like a good idea. Must try that

Actually cheaper by few pence with other sellers

Pop a few drops of olbas oil onto old pads rather than buying new ones....

thx son loves blue light as it reassures him

Only brand my kids ull take expensive tastes!!

PS before I get lynched, I mean for the bun fight, not because I think you should get this on the NHS. I don't.

Oh I'm waiting...

Under the care of the chemist scheme you usually only get a generic paracetamol, not brand named stuff.

#Top Tip Free on the NHS .... Trigger warning ~LOL

@Jannetwalters you do realise you are paying a premium just for the brand? The ingredients in Calpol Paracetamol and paracetamol from Poundland is the same so it doesn’t mean your child will have an advantage of getting better because you have this idea by paying more you are getting a premium product. Last week I ran out and had to go to Tesco at midnight and spent £3.49 on Calpol as that’s all they had but I will be stocking up on the kids meds from Poundland in the future. I guess each to their own

Probably. Check your local though, loads of stuff going very cheap, strepsils 90% off, best before was 09/2019

Bargain for the calpol would have cleared the shelf at that price guessing it will just be local though

Small clearance end. Random items to clear.

Why have they put them next to the Milkybars?

how many did you get then (embarrassed)

Expiry is 01/2019

I’ll have to go back. Will post the sell by date when I get some

These things are a bloody ripoff - get a diffuser like this and a bottle of Olbas oil (or similar): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Radha-Beauty-Essential-Diffuser-Aromatherapy/dp/B0748M6W8B/ref=sr_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1522177452&sr=8-4&keywords=diffuser You'll have made your money back after 2-3 colds and the whole family can use it (y)

Homebargains I was supposed to write it underneath but I fell asleep afterposting that photo just showing people that if they don’t manage to buy from Tesco they can buy from homebargains

Great offer but the item itself is very poor value. Plugs cheap, refills are extortionate! (£1 each)

Home Bargains. Usually you get 5 Refill Pads in the box.Not a good value imho.

Less than £2 in Asda for there own brand, no difference

Last week the calpol six plus was reduced to £1.99 in Aldi, Fawdon, Newcastle upon Tyne.

Look out for something called Galpamol in Home Bargains. It works out cheaper and they do an ibuprofen version also. Sorry for the vague news but I can't remember how much I pay. Edit. I want to say about 1.29 for 100ml but could be wrong

Thanks

Such fond memories of that sweet sugary elixir.

Well according to the doctors and nurses, it must do, as we were told to check medicines to make sure they don't contain any, as it's quite common in them.

I don't think so. They don't use Calpol in hospitals

It'll be trace. Wouldn't affect anyone with liver disease surely

Yeah, ethanol = alcohol

This particular one from b&m contains ethanol

tried the cheaper stuff, baby just spat it out

Need this always

Dunno if it really makes a diff, but Saw an article where a mum inserts a Calpol filled syringe into milk bottle teat to feed her baby the meds... https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/mums-tip-baby-take-calpol-13766481.amp

Both types are on offer at the same price.

I think the stuff with sugar is better than than the sugar free stuff. The sweeteners in this are not great for babies and certainly not adults either
