Millenium Concepts has them on sale 5 bottles (200 pills) for $100. 1-888-803-4438  It is Potassium Iodate, which is longer lasting, and better shelf life.

I got Potassium Iodide from ki4u.com 100 pills per bottle for $24.  This site also has a ton of information, but I don't know the difference between Potassium Iodide and Potassium Iodate, except that the site says tests on the shelf life of the RadBlock they sell found near 100% strength after 11 years.  I figured that was long enough for my purposes!
