I hate my ins. company.
I did exactly this for years with my prescription. The price savings was unbelievable, something along the line of several hundred dollars per refill. Medicine Shoppe is a very reputable chain and the service was excellent. Once I did have it confiscated via mail inspection ( wtf?) and I got an empty envelope with a big neon sticker on it.
If you do not have prescription coverage, it pays to shop around. My formulation got changed, and this is what I found. I hadn't shopped around for several years after getting the price from Canada.
Fred Meyer 305 per month
Rite Aid, Savon, same.
Walmart, same within a few bucks.
Costco, 112 for 3 months. No kidding. Costco give an additional 10% discount if you do not have prescription coverage. So now I am getting it from Costco instead of Canada
