Hi everyone,
Just wondering if anyone buys cheap HPTs online, and if so where? Thanks. |

Thanks Rianna. I'd googled and found the baby4you site but didn't think it was particularly cheap, about the same as supermarket prices so it looks like ordering from overseas is the way to go for cheapies.

| Sheza - you could always get a Westpac DebitPlus card. That way all you need to do is transfer the money into the Westpac account before you buy online - it's what I do!! There's no credit involved at all. Costs $10 a year for the card fee and that's it. |

Oh ok, can you get one of those even if your not with westpac? ------------- |

| Yup, you just have to open one transactional account with them at the same time, and give them a deposit to open it (I think I put $10 in). The DebitPlus card is like an eftpos card, but it's a visa instead - so you can only spend what money you have in that Westpac account. I just transfer the money over to my Westpac account by internet banking a day or two before I want it. |

Hey girls, Sheena and I are going together to get a bunch of internet cheapie tests. Given the postage is significant ($16 US), does anyone else want to get some so we can split the cost? I'm happy to send them on once they get in the country. PM me if you're keen
NB: No, we're not TTC again yet! Just was appalled at the price of HPTs here at my last scare and figured it'd be handy to have a few on hand... -------------

LOL that's exactly the reason why I DON'T buy them until I'm overdue for AF...just can't justify spending the money on a POAS addiction!!!
ETA: Although.....how much does it work out to be for like 25/50 tests?? |

lol Kate, these girls will turn you into a POAS-aholic before you know it 
Depends how many you get. For 25 it's US$11.25 (currently approx NZ$21), for 50 it's US$20 (~NZ$38). Then there's US$16 postage (~NZ$30). Considering my last scare I bought 2 for $25 or so... Let me know by next Wednesday if you want in! -------------
