So, I walked into a closing K-mart today because I heard they were selling surplus fixtures, pegboard and other stuff. I filled my cart with new commercial bathroom fixtures, when I heard someone shout "everything for a penny?!" I asked if fixtures and pegboard was going for a penny each, and the manager said "no, but if you buy out what is left in our pharmacy (which was 1 cent per item), that he would give me all the fixtures and pegboard that I want for free.

I spend $1.24, and now have hundreds of diabetic test strip boxes (expiration in late 2016 and 2107).
Since CL prohibits medical supplies even in the free section, I thought I would try my luck here.

Also, if anyone knows a good place to donate medical supplies that would be cool too.

What brand? They're not used universally with all brands?

Wow what a great deal on the test strips. Test strips usually cost a dollar each. There is a organization in Half Moon Bay that may take them, their website is http://abcdiabetics.org

The organization that Crabfest benefits wouldn't be able to take them, but thank you for thinking of them Ron.

Thanks Victor! :smt006 I sent them an e-mail.

Yeah, each box is priced at around $50. I can't believe that I purchased over $2000 of test strips for $1.24
