Double Stuf OREO Cakesters

Est. Retail Price $3.49.   I have tried the original OREO Cakesters Soft Snack Cakes in the past and thought they were disgusting, so I didn't have much hope for the Double Stuf version.  I think now that the ones I tried before may have been a little old, because I remember thinking the chocolate cake part was very dry.  The cake part of the Double Stuf version was not what I would call moist, but definitely not too dry.  Only a few crumbs dropped off while I was eating them.  The filling was ample, with a taste much like the inside of an Oatmeal Cream Pie.  Would go well with a glass of milk, but still no where near as good as the original Double Stuf OREO.  I give it 3 out of 5 stars.

Boiron Children’s Chestal Homeopathic Cough Syrup

 Est. retail price: $6.99 When you have children and they get sick, you suddenly realize that you can’t help them.  The lowest recommended age for any cough and cold medicine is four years old.  So there you are, stuck with a bulb aspirator and a screaming child and maybe some saline nasal spray.  Well, if your child is coughing, help is on the way!  I found this homeopathic cough syrup one day when I was desperately seeking something to soothe my child’s persistent cough due to post-nasal drip during a cold.  I was willing to try anything to help him sleep and so I found it at Walgreens and brought it home.  And lo and behold – it was a miracle – it actually worked!  I now make sure to always have a bottle on hand.  It’s a little expensive and can be a little hard to find sometimes, but it is worth every penny.  It is the only cough syrup I have ever seen that is allowed to be taken by children as young as two because it doesn’t actually have any drugs in it.  Just buy a syringe and you’re set.  Ask your doctor if your child is younger than two.  I rate it 5 out of 5 stars.
