I'm not sure if you're trolling or not, but I'll help you out here. I'll even use amazon since it's quicker.

Grand total 53.55 (60.24 if you want the steristrips plus this will leave you with extra for additional FAK's). Now if you wanted to get fancy and add in the combat gauze/quickclot, that's where you'll spend some change. TBH though a good pressure dressing (properly applied) is going to do pretty damn well for most people's uses.
Poor reviews on Amazon. $30 for one bandage. Supposedly this stuff is equally effective and has 60 for $7

I am prepper and a FIL, here are some things I can never have enough of...
Your FIL will be thrilled that you support his prepping no matter what you decide to give him!
Here's a pack of 60 steri strips for $8.30: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004WFXCSQ/ref=pd_aw_fbt_121_img_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=2D0ZWJ4E8BFGDQ7PWX5Z. Could you afford that, darling? If not, I can try to find a way to purchase them (I live with my parents because I'm 16 and I don't think they'd let me buy them but I can try my hardest to find a way to get them) and send them to you, if you're okay with sharing your address with me. And okay, but what is it that you'd ask your doctor to prescribe?
I get these and cut them to the length I need. One layer does the trick, and they have stayed in place for any run I need them on (including my recent 12hr race)
> I've had to give myself stitches with dental floss on multiple occasions because I can't afford to go to a doctor, even with insurance.
For the sake of your health, please use these instead!
stock up HEAVILY on cotton gauze, paper tape, aquaphor, and steri strips. steri strips are amazing. my surgeon placed inch long pieces all along my incisions, and told me to keep them on until they fell off. as they fell off i replaced them with longer pieces because the swelling made me feel like i was going to pop open. i pulled them off in the shower every few days to replace with clean pieces and i wore them for a few weeks after i had my stitches taken out, really until i felt like my skin had come back together. i liked to put bandaid brand gauze pads over my regular thin gauze for cushioning under clothing and to keep aquaphor on the skin. aquaphor will be really helpful in keeping incisions moist so they don't scab but also will help the gauze not stick to any pus or blood within the incisions.
also a nice fan will help keep you comfy and is great for air drying your skin after showers before reapplying tape and gauze (:
i found this bra to be the absolute comfiest. the fabric is thick and soft and the back is mesh for ventilation.
This might be more comprehensive than what you're looking for but I've been extremely happy with the kit I got.
EMT Bag - Nice and large, durable and has customizable velcro panels for the main compartment
BLS Medical Supply Kit - Most of what you would want for a kit and I priced it out you can't get it all for less on your own.

It'll be a while before I can put together a comprehensive post but think of the basics as items that would get you to the nearest ambulance.OK, this became a comprehensive post. :P
Here are pics of the stocked kit. (a few items OTC meds are missing and need to be restocked)

The point of this kit is to get someone to the nearest medical help. You can get a replacement pair of nitrile gloves, more gauze or whatever when you get to the ambulance or hospital. Some of the stuff is for keeping conditions from getting worse (sliver removal, band-aids, blister cushions, ointment) which might be viewed as "comfort" items not "first aid" but in more rough environments, an infected cut could kill you so I put it in.
I'd suggest some nitrile gloves, clotting powder, Steri-Strips, benzoin compound tincture, 91% isopropyl alcohol in a squirty-container (like an old contact lens solution bottle), more gauze pads (they disappear fast), small scissors, and rolled gauze. Probably some Neosporin, too.
Also, never use hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, or iodine in an open wound. They're for external use only, so be sure to use them around the wound, not in it. To irrigate and clean a laceration or abrasion, use saline solution with a low pressure stream. You can get some expensive but effective shit like this or you can just make your own.
Lastly, perhaps some gauze pads that fold out into relatively large, thin sheets so you can have something resembling a sterile field on which you can place your equipment to prevent additional contaminants from entering the wound.
