Almost a month or so ago

Hi

Is it a right phrase "almost a month or so ago"? If it is then which http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/so of so fits here? Thank you for your help.

"~ or so" is a set idiomatic phrase meaning "approximately ~". "almost a month ago" and "a month or so ago" are both fine, but the combination "almost ... or so" does not work very well.
