Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 489 | I went on to Amazon last night and the Biotene spray is $4.95 per bottle right now. Last time I checked a few weeks ago it was not cheaper than buying it here at the Walgreens - but now this is a significant savings even with the shipping.
Of course I used the OCF link. I just thought I would pass it on if anyone else is looking to save a few $$$.

Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 489 | I'm having good luck with the spray during the day. I want to try the gel at night since it says it lasts up to 6 hours and I usually wake up a couple of times during the night because of the dry mouth.
I like shopping from home if I can - I hate to go to stores. The spray was not available at our Walmart anymore, nor CVS. and at Walgreens they want close to $8.00 per bottle before tax. So this will save me some $$.

So no tax, no shipping, a discounted price, and 4% no cost to me for OCF.
