since aspirin is so cheap. But we do what we have to do. My comment was more about cutting the amount of any pain killer that we take. If you take only one Ibuprofen instead of the two suggested on the label, there is a good chance that it will help unless the problem is severe. Using one instead of two would cut the cost in half, as long as you don't have to take a second one.
