Coupon Website For Huge Discounts

So you all know how we have been talking about careful shopping, not getting carried away with everything you like and instead becoming a smart shopper, the myths about shopping that cost you money, etc. While I was trying to save on my hosting subscription renewal yesterday, I stumbled across a rather unusual site that showed up for one of the search terms (I am not going to say what that was). This site called itself CouponCodeSeptember2013.com - gosh, was I surprised. How can someone actually have a site for a calendar month? Do they actually shut down the site after a month? I thought it might be some untrustworthy site but decided to check it out.

However, I was pleasantly surprised. The site was clean, loaded fast, did not throw any pop-ups and appeared simple. I explored the stores page and found out that they had thousands of store coupons listed there. Moreover, they had a nicely sorted list of 90% off coupons from several participating stores! Most deals had set expiry dates on them as well. I thought of going one step further. I tested one random deal for a store that I usually buy from. I used a coupon code from their page and it actually gave me a discount on my shopping cart.

While I was telling myself that it is great to see some useful coupon sites still out there (by useful I mean a site where a coupon code listed would actually work and give a discount); I still couldn't understand why couldn't they come up with a better name? Or maybe, they are trying to improve their visibility or traffic by "stuffing" the words in the domain name itself? If that is the case, it sounds pretty like a cheesy game to be playing.

 

Why Some Over-The-Counter Drugs Need Prescription Now?

Do you remember going to the drug store and asking for allergy and cold medicines like Advil Allergey, Sudafel Nasal Decongestant Tablets, Tylenol Flu NightTine Gelcaps? Once they were easily available over-the-counter? But after the Patriot of 2006, most of the drugs that were sold over-the-counter were now kept behind the counter. 

Wondering why? Because most of the drugs used to relieve nasal congestion contained pseudoephedrine. Yes it is the same ingredient that is used to make methamphetamine- a highly addictive stimulant. 

Confused as why was this Act brought into life? It was introduced to ensure that the methamphetamine was not produced in bulk and law enforcement became easier. The step was also taken as research shows that methamphetamine lead to serious side-effects like paranoia, violence, aggression, memory loss, brain damage and hallucinations. The Drug Enforcement Administration also reports that there is a direct relationship between increased number of child abuse and domestic violence cases with the use of methamphetamine.

 To tackle this situation some drug companies reformulated their products and eliminated pseudoephedrine whereas other companies replaced pseudoephedrine with phenylephrine to market the drug. 

So, next time when you need medicines to treat nasal congestion or sinus here are some tips on how to buy them:

    

1. You need prescription to buy these medicines.

2. You need to show your ID card like driver’s license and also sign a logbook. Drug stores must keep records about all the purchases made that include name of the drug, name of the buyer, address of the buyer and quantity purchased, date and time of sale of the drug. 

3. There is a limit to the quantity of buying this drug. One can only buy 3.6 grams per day and nine grams per month.

This information must have made you think that the government really cares for its citizens and concerned for their well-being. To provide better health care services many Government even offer healthcare apps where citizens can seek help from professionals and nutritionists if required.
