Best price is at Target. You can get a 2 pack of the generic 120 sprays each for $20.

I was so glad when the non-drowsy antihistamines (Claritin, Allegra, etc.) became available over-the-counter, and also when the nasal steroid sprays (Nasocort, Flonase, etc.) became available more recently. It's wonderful to be able to get them as-needed without dealing with doctor visits and trying to figure out which ones your insurance covers.
For me Sudafed is still the best for a truly stuffed-up-unable-to-breathe attack.
If you have a lot of thick gunk that needs to be loosened up guafinesin (Mucinex) is good.
