Talking to your own doctor about antibiotics and such is a far better idea than guessing. He/She knows what would be a good broad-spectrum antibiotic for a wide range of problems. There are quite a few bacteria-specific ABs out there, and if you're using the wrong one, you're wasting what you've got. Just be prepared to pay for it out of your own pocket, as your insurance probably won't.
+1 on talking to your doctor.
Walmart has placed just about every antibiotic that you would ever need (other than azithromycin) on their
$4 Prescription Program for a 30-day supply. Since most antibiotics are generally only prescribed for 7, 10, or 14 days, it's not like you're going to need more than that, so $4.00 sounds like a bargain.
If/when they expire, take them back to your doctor for proper disposal (never, ever flush medications down the toilet - especially antibiotics) and ask for a new script at that time.
