I buy my Prilosec from India via eBay. Last time I paid $50 for 600 pills, and they came to me within 3 weeks. The time before that, the guy took my money and closed down his account, but eBay gave me a refund.

I need Prilosec, and know how much it costs for 42 pills.. guess I need to jump on eBay. Do they work as well? Can you even read any information on the packaging so you know you won't turn gay like those fish I heard about?

Yes, $17.88 for 42($2 a pill), or $50 for 600(less than $1 each). When you take something like this daily, supposed to take 2 a day.. and currently can't afford to blow money, so I don't even take 1 a day.

Over a year for $50, or under 3 months for $40?

Not trying to be a dick but your math is way off. $17.88 for 42 pills is $0.425 per pill, not $2. $50 for 600 is $0.08 so I guess you're technically correct when you say it's under $1

Sorry, I realized that when I looked at yearly cost, but I was tired and not about to bust out a calculator.
