CVS Chap Block
Part of being a thrifty consumer is being able to stretch your money as far as it can go. Contrary to popular belief, store brand items can often be just as good (if not superior) to their name brand equivalents. Yeah, some things aren’t so great; sodas, potato chips, etc, but most of your pharmaceutical goods work just as well.
I started using CVS Chap Block in place of Chapstick a few months ago, and I’ve been happy with the product. There are only two active ingredients in your average lip balm, so it’s hard to mess up. I prefer the spearmint variety (couldn’t find a picture), but they carry multiple varieties.
My lips are perfectly moist, protected from the sun (SPF4), and the cold. I saved around 40% versus the leading brand, and 150% compared to the pricier brands (Burt’s Bees, etc). I easily recommend CVS Chap Block, especially if you go through a lot of the stuff. Thumbs up!

I like my addiction $0.75 at a time and to last 3 months.
