How to Find Cheap Pregnancy Tests

Home pregnancy tests can be costly, especially if you like to test early and frequently. Fortunately, with a little research and advanced planning, there are ways to find cheap pregnancy tests that are just as reliable as expensive pregnancy tests.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. 

   Check your local dollar store for cheap pregnancy tests. Many of the popular dollar store chains carry them.

2. 

   Search online for home pregnancy tests. Enter "cheap pregnancy tests" into your favorite search engine, and several online retailers will come up. Also check Web sites like Amazon and eBay.

3. Consider buying pregnancy test strips instead of midstream pregnancy tests, as they're often cheaper and just as reliable. The only difference is you'll need to collect urine in a cup with the pregnancy strips.

4. Check wholesale club stores like Costco or Sam's Club if you're a member. They often carry value packs of home pregnancy tests.

5. 

   Before buying pregnancy tests online or in the store, look for coupons. If you're buying online, search for the name of the Web site selling the tests along with "coupon code" to see if any discounts are available. Example: early-pregnancy-tests.com coupon code.
   
   If you plan on buying home pregnancy tests at the store, search for the name of the test you plan to buy along with "coupon." Example: First Response coupon.

Tips & Warnings

• When using a home pregnancy test, always carefully read the instructions. Some tests are more sensitive than others and can detect pregnancy before your missed period.
• If your pregnancy test is negative but your period is still late, wait a few days and retest.
