I woke up with a pretty bad cough today (it's been getting worse and worse throughout the week), and at work decided to go buy some cough syrup. I went to Shoppers Drug Mart (Rideau Centre in Ottawa), and saw that Benelyn was the cheapest cough syrup they had (a few $ cheaper than Life brand).

The 100mL Benelyn extra strength cough syrup (most if not all of them, I remember DM, DM+E, DM+E+D) bottles are on sale for $3.49 each.

So for each bottle, it's $3.49 + tax = $3.98

To add to that, in the box I got there is a mail in rebate for $3 when you buy two of the bottles. So for two the deal is:

$3.49 x 2 + tax = $7.96 - mail in rebate of $3 = $4.96 (plus cost of a stamp)

You also get optimum points too! :lol:

I don't know how long the sale is until, I don't remember, but the rebate is good til Nov 30, 2012 (quite a long time from now, even past the date of expiry for the cough syrup which was Oct 2008 :lol:).

Weird, but checking the flyer for Ottawa it says $3.99 per bottle. But at the Rideau Centre store it was $3.49 per bottle so YMMV, but for $3.99 the deal is as follows:

2 bottles:
$3.99 x 2 + tax - $3 mail in rebate = $6.10

Don't know about BC, but for me I'm gonna leave a bottle at home and one at work. And both my bottles I got expire October 2008.

And to know if the box has a rebate in it, just open the box and the rebate is printed inside, and the top flap (after you open the box) says "Coupon printed on inside". It doesn't say at all on the outside of the box.

Thanks for sharing OP, good timing as I just got a bad cold with cough.. Though I've always doubted the effect of these syrups, most often than not, I've always found that my cough would go away after a week or so, with or without the syrup.. :D

All it does is hide the symptoms of coughing or sore throat, it's not antibacterial or anything.
