    Help buying Pins?

    I just took my first prescription for needs in today and was in for a little surprise. First, the prescription they wrote me was for 2, 18 gauge pins and 2, 22 gauge 1 1/2" syringes. I guess I assumed I was gonna get a whole box full of them....lol. Second, my insurance does not pay for needles and it cost me $4.72 for them. Is there some other safe, cheaper, and legal why you guys buy them? I'm not sure if it matters but I live in New York and we have all kinds of messed up laws. Once again, thanks for all the great help!

    I've gotten my needles from feed stores before. Like livestock feed stores.

    I think you should be able to get them AR-R ... Just click the banner at the top/right side of the page.

    Also, you might consider bumping it to 23g or even 25g (which I use) to help mitigate pain. Just a suggestion.

    pins

    I just got my order in from AR-R . Took about 5 days. Was buying PCT supplies and figured some extra pins cant hurt since it was only about $5 for a bunch of them.

    I just want to make sure that they are good quality, that's why I asked. It was just a little shocking to me to see the drug store charge $5 for 4 and see them for $5 for 25 online.

    Yeah, they supply only good products ... Very dependable, good prices, and fast delivery.

    Copy on JohnCalvin. Feedstore is most reliable and cheapest. Avoid meth areas or you will have to fill out enough forms to make taxes look simple.

    AR-R provides good quality products at very reasonable prices with fast delivery. Why would one want to get veterinary grade when you can get the real deal so easily?

    I bought at Allegro Medical and was very happy with the transaction, but as others have stated AR-R is great also (plus they sell in smaller quantities).

    Valencia. Just to fill in the spaces. We live on an island. Nurse was giving me the skinny on injections..pull from vial with the 18 and inject with the 22. When i inquired as to where to get the 18's she said to go to the feedstore cause it was a few miles from my house. When i went split my injections into 2x per week (1/2 on Sun and 1/2 on Wed) i needed the 22's as well. The pins are identical to what i could get if i went on the ferry and into the city to get em.
