After paying $290 for 2 prescriptions last month, followed by an additional $220 three weeks later for a renewal and a third prescription, I'd take my chances with Mexican or Canadian if I could.
I've checked some of their prices on the internet. For ongoing maintenance medications, it is worth ordering out-of-country. On one prescription name, Canada was about 1/3 the price of US.
Most Canadian prices seem to be about 30 to 40% less than US; most Mexican prices seem to be 40 to 50% less, depending on whether generic or name brand.

Since they do that, they can negotiate the prices down. They pass on those expenses by taxing the hell out of people.
