I kept seeing road signs - "Diabetic testing strips - paying cash" and a phone number.
I called. Seems that diabetes supply houses are deluging human diabetics with more test strips than they'll ever use in a lifetime- (and Medicare/You are footing the bill) - so this guy is buying up unused boxes. I didn't get into price, brands etc. cuz Joey right now is not needing many- but got me thinking. If he's buying them up, then he must be turning around and selling them at lower than retail.
Anyone know about this? Should I investigate further? What else would you want to ask this guy?
One thing I DO know - those strips aren't cheap. At my CVS, the strips work out to over a buck a piece.
