That’s where I generally buy Contour Next strips. Just bought them on eBay once because it was the same seller and priced less.

Which Contour Next strips do you buy, and which meter(s) do they line up with? I am done navigating the insurance for this, I am just going to buy the damn strips and be done with it.

@Chris Just search “contour next strips” on Amazon and look for the lowest price. 300 strips should be ~ $62.00. ( ~.20/ strip) They work with all Contour Next line of meters with the Contour Next One getting the best reviews.
I have good insurance but they don’t cover nearly enough strips for me so I buy them out of pocket online.

Chris,
Do me a favor. Don’t saddle the kid with a big grandma meter:
Young active people with good eyesight need to get this one:
## Contour Next One is the meter to get!
Any Contour Next strips will work with it.

DHS Med has them for $60/300 right now. That’s a good deal. The price is variable but the most I’ve paid on Amazon is about $64/300.

I promise to get him the sexy ONE meter. We currently have the “Grandma” version and he will be happy with the smaller one.
