So my question to you guys is do you think/know where I can get the same product or something very similar to it someplace cheaper? Also on the off chance someone here has used this before, let me know how it is please! Thanks

Most likely it has some fancy medication hence the reason for the price. Is it needed? Probably not...
At home, I would recommend using Vaseline. It does a great job softening up the lips immediately. The problem is that it look greasy, like you just ate a bunch of KFC and did not wipe. As such, try not to use it when you go out. Or be very careful and look in the mirror twice.
When you are out, any chapstick will do. The only different is how long it last, the texture, etc. I would recommend Nivea. The applicator is quite nice with its larger than usual cap. The texture is a bit smoother than Blistex - think butter. It last quite a while too because of the usual butter-like texture.
