Ladies, let’s not beat around the bush. Sometimes we need a little assistance getting through a certain time of the month. There’s no shame in that; heck, everyone knows that we get the cramps because men wouldn’t be able to deal with them. (To my male readers: Kidding! Totally kidding! You’re very manly. And handsome. Please don’t go!)

Certain products designed to be the most help during these difficult times tend to be very expensive, because we’re captive consumers and retailers know that when you need a painkiller right then, chances are you’re not going to stop and compare labels. But! The good news is that we can plan ahead!

So, if you’re a fan of Midol, make today your luck day. Amazon currently has Midol Maximum Strength Complete (3 boxes, 120 tablets) for $6.31 and Midol Cramps and Body Aches (4 boxes, 96 tablets) for $4.85. Stock up now, feel better later.

I feel compelled to insert a “it could save the life of someone annoying who you truly love” joke here, but I’ll refrain. Sort of. Oops!
