Why is Hocks Pharmacy

They are the cheapest for BG sticks anywhere. If you feel adventerous, try EBay. I typically get
sticks for 2/3 of hock's cost. There is a somewhat probability you will get screwed on EBay.

Why can't others do it? That is a million dollar question. Call the pharmacies in your locality for
price checks on any prescription you take. Be sure to write down the pharma and cost. You will
discover price differences of >50%. If people shopped around more for the best price of scripts, I
think we could drive down the price of scripts.

Hi CC,

I bought 300 AccuChek Comfort Curve strips from Hocks last month for $139 with free shipping and no
tax. These were boxed 50 each in different gray-white boxes (not blue/white for the patient or
red/white for hospital use). The boxes were marked: "Exclusively for Mail Order Use. Not for Retail
Sale." They work just like the $~80/100 blue boxes at Walmart. So quite pleased with Hocks.

The vials are the blue/white patient strips so they are the same.
