. . . are 99% accurate. Good to know.
Junior Mints, however, are not included.
Well, they are stocked right above the “Simple Pleasures.”
Not available, you mean. Those are Junior Caramels. 
And the tests are ‘over’ 99% accurate. Yours might be 103% accurate, you never know.
My wife bought a lot of like hundreds of ovulation and pregnancy test strips on ebay for ten bucks, they are individually foil wrapped and are just a strip with no plastic holder. They work fine and there is no reason to assume the 99cent store ones wouldn’t either.
You can find real good deals on generic OTC meds in the 99 cent store, the generic Clairitin they carry is APO brand tablets same as pharmacy.
Call me paranoid, but an accurate medical diagnostic is one thing I’m not willing to cheap out on. I worry that it’s been sitting in a humid warehouse for years before making its way to the shelf. I’m not a medical professional, so I don’t feel equipped to make the determination whether dollar store prego tests are “good enough” or not. I’m willing to be convinced by someone who knows better, though.
And not far from “Cry Babys.” Looks like they’ve got the whole spectrum stocked.
That’s why I shop there.
They’re exactly the same test method as the ones run by a doctor’s office, with the same sensitivity. I’d trust them as long as they were in-date. I’d be more likely to trust ones that use pink dyes instead of blue, though, because the blue-dye tests are notorious for faint “maybe that’s positive if I squint” lines that can be misinterpreted.
Either way, a positive test would be followed up by a blood test at a doctor’s office.
Does that mean we get twins?
200% you get twins, 103% maybe a couple of extra fingers.
My wife has never had a false result, either positive or negative, using pregnancy tests from Dollar Tree. Why the version they sell in Rite Aid or CVS is fifteen times the price I’ll never know. (I guess “because people still buy them” is enough reason, business-wise, but I can’t imagine which business guru came up with that price point, given that that’s a hell of a markup on what I assume is the same exact product that someone is profitably selling for a dollar.)
I was a cashier at a grocery store when three young ladies came through with a cart full of stuff. One item was a pregnancy test and I scanned it and sent it down the line like any other item. But I remember thinking at the time, “Those are real friends, there. Two of them came along just so that no one would know which one was possibly pregnant.” I can only imagine the embarrassment if there had been some difficulty scanning the item or god forbid having to send someone to do a price check.
Why would either or both be embarrassed being possibly pregnant?
You’re kidding, right?
I’m sorry, I must have signed into the 1950 era message board. My mistake.
I neglected to mention that these were students from the university. Probably not 21 yet and unlikely to be enamored about telling mommy and daddy that they’re knocked up. It’s hardly a throwback to the 50’s to be embarrassed about being pregnant before one intends.
Pee-n-see is the brand to get.
Put that to a tune and there’s your commercial.
We’ve had a similar thread before and someone pointed out that there are people trying to get pregnant who want to go get the official doctor’s test as soon as there’s a sign they’ve succeeded. If they get the cheap ones, they can plow through one a day without feeling guilty about the cost.
Results in 3 minutes?! It takes me longer than that to pee.
Well, that’d be the advantage of going to the 99 cent store…
