Test strips are expensive. Before I got my relion meter, I had another one for free through a promotional deal a couple of years ago, but the test strips were double what the relion strips costs.
Here in China, I found a glucose meter for about the same cost as the Relion meter. The sales person said the test strips are about 6 cents each, but they were out, so I decided not to buy the meter till I can find the strips. That is a cost of about 1/8th of the Relion strips. If I am successful at finding those test strips, I'm going to buy about 5,000 of them to take home with me, if there is not an expiration date on them.... But, this is China and even though things are cheap, it is never simple, so I'll just have to wait and see if I can get my hands on that super savings deal....
