Equate Extra Strength Acetaminophen Review

Most of us are familiar with Tylenol.  I've been using it for years.  For some reason, the active ingredient, Acetaminophen and I just happen to agree with one another.

Last week while making one of my frequent visits to our new Wal-Mart Super Center I stopped at one of those aisle end-cap mountain displays.  This one was for Equate Extra Strength Pain Reliever.  This is Wal-Mart's house brand of Acetaminophen.  The offer was for 500 caplets of 500mg. each for $7.99.  Even without a direct competitive price in my head I knew this was a bargain.  Of course I bought it.

How much of a Bargain?

Okay, I admit I was curious, but I guess not curious enough to walk down the aisle and check out the price of brand name Tylenol.  But later that evening I just got into one of my Google moods and decided to do a search.

Well the best that I could find was 225 caplets for $15.99, reduced from $17.99.  So essentially they cost $.07 a caplet.  On the other-hand, the Equate Extra Strength Pain Reliever cost just slightly more than a penny and a half each!

Good grief!  The Wal-Mart generic cost 77% less than the name brand Tylenol.  Hey, that's huge.

My Viewpoint

If you don't have a thing about substituting generics, purchasing Equate Extra Strength Pain Reliever is a no brainer.  Have a thing about shopping at Wal-Mart?  Well look around.  I'm sure similar savings can be had at Target or CVS.  Equate Extra Strength Pain Reliever, gets my recommendation.
