I'm readin all these posts and thinking: lucky you who has the insurance that covers everything. I don't have one and have to look for all those free deals myself. The sad thing is most of those free deals will still require a prescription. For example I found this link on this forum:
http://contourmeter.capturepoint.com - offers a free meeter, but as it turns out, it requires a prescription.
and whoever has RiteAid stores around, this week's flyer advertised an Ultra meeter for $30 with $30 mail-in rebate. The offer is good for the week of March 4-10.
So far I found out that ebay is the cheepest source for the strips.Also this store has pretty good prices on them:
www.americandiabeteswholesale.com
Please keep posting free meeter deals here. Or better yet, send the info on cheap test strips.
Also if you have any usused strips that are about to expire and you know you'll never use them anyway, I'll gladly accept them (will pay for shipping)
