- Rebelgecko 3y agoOTC painkillers are similar (or somethimes MUCH cheaper depending on currency conversion at the time) to what I've seen in Europe
- SJetKaran 3y agoI found contact lens to be cheaper here than in Sweden
- xpl 3y agoBut also you can't buy them without a prescription from a doctor, which itself costs money (for a visit) — and usually even with insurance, because of some "copay" bullshit. In other countries you can just buy it.
- SJetKaran 3y agoYeah, true. Don't understand why one needs a prescription for contacts here in the US
