    Default Interesting find.

    I am the first person to tell everyone to use their local LDS but I just discovered something that can save Pee-Valve users lots of money. At the local medical supply store by ORMC here in Orlando The Caths are $2.00 ea. and here's the kicker. You can use you FSA money to buy them since they are medical supplies. And No sales Tax to boot!!

    I've been buying catheters on-line for years from "A-Med" last time I placed an order they were 1.75/ea

    ....waiting for the wise cracks about the small ones being cheaper

    It's bad luck to be superstitious.

    Default Even more interesting find

    I buy catheters on line, too. But when I was looking I found out that the pricing is like this:

    $ Medical supply $$ LDS $$$ fetish web site.

    Some of us pee-valve users don't have to throw away $2 every time. Reusable...that's the ticket!

    Hey Mike . . . double check your order. According to the website, those for 1.75 ARE the extra small ones.

    I am paying $138 for 100 caths shipped. That is $1.38 each.

    Order over $60 are shipped for free. They have a warehouse in GA. My last order took two days to arrive. This website has the Hollister spray for the ladies. Few dollar less the most I have seen.

    I agree with supporting local businesses. I have not found a store that stocks the Coloplast rubbers that I like. Except the home medical supply place near the caves in France.

    Cheers!!
