Hmm. Even if it's not nearby, a two-day run out to somewhere with a major
chain, starting on the last day of a month, could net four boxes. 160
pills would be either five months' worth on its own, or around 30 years of
stopgapping - if they last in storage that long.

I'd imagine that Rite-Aid doesn't talk to Walgreens, who doesn't talk to
Walmart, who doesn't talk to CVS, who doesn't talk to Target, who
doesn't...

Shelf-life's probably 3-4 years, if the box in my bathroom closet is
representative.
