Tesco; they sell an 'own brand' that I like and Bausch Saline that I like even better but which costs more.

I daresay other supermarket chains also sell saline.

Andrew

ps I have also bought saline on-line, but I am not disciplined enough to make sure that I always order my next consignment before my present one runs out. :oops:

I either get boots own brand. they do a small size which is more convenient to take around with you.

The cheapest normasol sachets i have found are from st johns online store http://www.stjohnsupplies.co.uk/products/default.asp?productId=F14685
I then dispence them into these small nozzled dropper bottles. They are about 33p so i can change them each week to keep them sanitary. http://www.vetuk.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1797
