Not Mexico!

If you search around, I'm sure others will agree.  Mexico is expensive.  And Mexico certainly does not sell hydrocodone combos cheaper than the US.  After all, the pills would have to be exported from the US into Mexico and then imported to your country.  No way are the pills cheap - if even available, which is doubtful.

Here is a real-life example:

I sent a friend on a Mexican shoppping trip asking for three meds - all non-controlled cheap drugs.

He brought them all back - at US $160!  Giant sizes!  Glad he knows how to bargain shop, but that wasn't the point.  I only needed 2 each for pictures!  Should have cost $20 max, but the vendors apparently don't stock the  '10 pills per blister pack' for the 'tourista'!

Lesson learned - never shop for pharmaceuticals in Mexico, and never give anyone else your money to shop for you!
