I learned pretty quickly that I could save money by purchasing a monitor when the strips for it are on sale.

I currently have 2 monitors. contour and contour next. I'm prepared to buy a 3rd monitor if I can find reasonably priced strips.

Today I shopped online for some strips and found 100 contour next strips at amazon for ~$23 but the same 100 count was on walmart for $250. That's not a typo..... $23 vs $250!

I'm not sure how the companies selling through each of those online stores can have such large disparities in pricing for essentially the same product.

My guess is that the strips might be close to expiration and they are on sale to get rid of them, but the last time I purchased strips like this, they still had more than 1 year before expiration, so I'm not sure why the pricing is so different.

I see the ones from Walmart right now are $25.99 for 100 count, with free shipping. ?

They are probably third-party sellers as opposed to Bayer who I think makes Contour.

Embrace meter and test strips seem to have good reviews. The meter and strips are each about $8.
