For those of you who use the Contour meter and look for good deals on strips, I saw this on Amazon today. **It’s 29.4 cents per strip!** That is super cheap!
(They also include a bottle of glucose tablets, 🙄 but I will throw those out just based on principle that I would much rather eat something tasty. And I have only eaten 1 glucose tab in my life. 😀)
Anyway, here is the link. I don’t know how long this deal will last!

Thanks, I needed to resupply anyway and always appreciate a good deal!

Not sure if the Amazon prices are consistent no matter where you live, but let me know if you are able to get them for the $88 price. I bought some today for that price.

That is a great price! My insurance bills $477 for 450 strips, and my portion is $150. So it is $30 less to buy at Walmart than via insurance!

We have frequently found this on the Contour Next strips as well. Insurance is more expensive…go figure.

And so it is. 🤣 Our plan changed and long story short, we opted to pay cash for 30-day supplies at Sam’s Club and found our bill was substantially less than the same 30-day supply using our insurance. This is on our regular meds, not the insulin. We did opt to use the 90-day insurance plan because our co-pay assist does not support cash payment.
