Which monitor did you buy? Most strips are for a specific machine they aren’t interchangeable.
The cheapest for strips seems to be the Code Free as there are discount codes for buying in bulk (works out around £5.98 per tub of 50) and also don’t forget you can claim a VAT reduction if you’re diabetic.
