Amazon, being so dominant and easy, is where I have always bought my Contour Next test strips

Recently they have increased the price from close to £20 for 50 strips to £28... so I decided to look else where.

and found £19.95 + 2.95 pp.

So ordered.

When you said 'go somewhere' in your title, I thought 'hang on... you mean... he is going somewhere... like... outside the front door...?'

:D

Should have known better! :D:D:D

I sometimes get them on Ebay amazon was OK if you needed them next day.

I haven't been any further than the front door for weeks no months now I hope i don't end up agoraphobic when eventually am able to break out of this prison.

Do you not get them on prescription?
As Type 2s, prescription test trips are a luxury we're not often privileged to receive :banghead: - unless there's insulin or certain medications where hypos are a definite possibility are involved. Hence the need to find affordable sources.
