I'm on hols in US. What goodies shall I buy in the drugstore that I can't get at home?

[smartyparts]

I'm thinking crest whitening strips so far. I have already bought that new Maybellline liquidy eyeliner here - marvellous!
What else?

Ah .. And Tylenol PM ..

Noxcema cleanser. It rocks.

It's not cheap, though, Duritz, or in a huge bottle. I take 3 tablets a night.

Sally Hansen Nail Effects - like DIY Minx, easy to use and loads of fun patterns. About $8 for a box, I think.

heading to the US on Thursday so this has been interesting reading. I normally stock up on Twizzlers too when in a CVS and clear out the whole range of Revlon nail polishes...about $3 each compared to £6 over here. Can't wait to have a browse :-)

Anti-biotic cream. Can't buy the stuff over the counter here.

Cough medicine that really suppresses coughs, no alcohol in it, bloody amazing. I got it in Walmart in Vegas, I was amazed by it.
Orabase has been discontinued here, Boots used to stock it. Brilliant for ulcers, well worth stocking up, maybe selling it on eBay!

This thread is making me hyper-ventilate.

Have been shopping and now need to go again!

Found a 'sally's' hair place too today which was like a candy store!

Also purchased all manner of pain killers; advil, tylenol, alleve & have had good fun burning the warts of ds1's elbows!

Am in Naples, sw Florida btw.

Secret deodorant - they used to do it here but discontinued it

I was in canada last week and went a bit mad in shoppers drug mart
they sell smashbox makeup so got some fab hd foundation

also love the moroccan oil treatment for hair
cheap earrings for sensitive ears
bonne belle lip balm

and if I were you I would get to a sephora and buy some makeupforever hd blush and eyeshadow

I bought some 'ban' deodorant here last week. It is completely brilliant.

I had been going through some sort of (peri men?) thing where no deodorant was working but this stuff is amazing!

Me too smartypants Secret Clinical Strength is the bomb.

oooh i am going to america soon, haven't read all the thread but will come back to make notes! :o

Bliss products are much cheaper if you like them.

I second (third, fourth etc) Crest Whitening strips.

When I was there last year I only ever went to Walmart and, it wasnt a patch on these heavenly places you lot are describing!! I never found a Target and Im still recovering from that fact

Lubriderm moisturiser (fab stuff)
Revlon FLEX shampoo/ conditioner

Duane Reade in NYC. Walgreens in Florida. Heaven!

I'm going to save this thread to a document to make a list AFTER I have booked my next flights to the USA.

Advil painkillers and muscle relaxants!

Burts bees is amazing.

Fat free potato chips that have warning that can cause anal leakage! Kraft dinner? I am sure US drugstores sell food! Oh betty crocker microwave popcorn and the ones that have a handle you pop over a hob or bonfire!!

Jiffy Pop is the kind you pop over the campfire. Or hob. Mmmmmm.

Am living in California at the mo but am usually in the UK - went into Target to look for new moisturizer and discovered they sell Boots No.7 and the prices are the same in dollars as in £££s so I got my favourite cleanser for loads less!!

Carmex

I overdosed on fat free pringles here a few years back (contained 'orlistat' or something?). And indeed had the er, seepage issue!

They don't seem to sell them anymore!
