But can you buy a box of 1000 aspirin tablets? That would be $23 in the US: https://www.cvs.com/shop/cvs-health-ibuprofen-tablets-200mg-...


That link is for ibuprofen, not aspirin.

Aspirin is dirt cheap in the U.S.


the deal isn't the price, but the quantity: if you need 1,000 pills of any medication, you should be under medical supervision/follow-ups, not buying them like they were groceries.


Generally, sure. As for aspirin, though, if you're a couple on a common low-dose daily regimen, that's 730 pills in just 1 year without a single head or body ache.
