Dear Franny the Shopa-holic: I am trying to find 4 Way Nasal Spray for my husband. We used to be able to purchase in almost any store but I haven't been able to find it in months. - Georgina G., Vineland
Dear Georgina: Any website that carries it says out of stock including Walmart. However, I did find at Amazon.com a Walgreens brand called Wal-Four for $4.99, which seems to have the same ingredients. You might want to try that.
