Pets are like family members and in some families, they are treated just like children. But when it comes to taking care of them, it can sometimes be very expensive, especially if they get sick or need continual medication.

There are however many ways to save money on these supplies. Coupons are the first source to look to. Coupons for pet food, treats and medications are often in the newspaper and online coupon websites. Coupons are also often sent out by pet supply stores to attract customers to their store. Another method to use in conjunction with coupons is to buy in bulk. Typically, large quantities of dog food are less expensive than small quantities.

Also look for samples of treats in pet stores and pet supply discount shops. Sign up on websites to be alerted to discounts and coupons that become available. Take pets to local pet fairs and pet events in the community. Suppliers often set up booths to pitch products and will have samples and coupons available.

Other pet supplies, such as crates, dog beds, leashes and more can often be found on Craigslist or Ebay. Craigslist has a free section where people advertise things they are giving away. People who have no longer have a pet will occasionally give away their pet’s items to keep from having to toss them in the trash. Local Goodwill stores are also another place to look for discounted pet supplies.

Pet medications and flea repellents can be purchased online at deeper discounts than the vet’s office can give. The vet can fax the prescription to the company who will then fill and mail it to the home at a fraction of the cost. Many animal immunizations can be purchased at local farmer co-ops and administered at home.

Purchasing the food and supplies needed by pets can be expensive, however, there are many discount options that can save money and keep those little friends happy and healthy. pet food coupons are regularly in the newspapers and online, free samples can be found and mediations can be ordered online to save money.

Healthcare workers across the country have all noticed how high the prices of medical supplies have risen. This is an especially worrisome problem for those working with the elderly. Benefits are being reduced for some. For those under the age of 65 who need ongoing medical care, insurance benefits have been denied. It seems that the problem just keeps getting worse. Where is the relief?

There doesn’t seem to be a white knight on the horizon that, slashing prices with his sword from the back of his trusty stead, solves the problem of high priced medical supplies. But there is a way to get find medical supplies at prices that won’t break the bank.

Through a little comparison shopping, an online retailer of medical supplies that beats the prices of all 30 top pharmacy chains in America has been found. The company is called TwinMed Direct, and they have been receiving quite a lot of buzz lately. The results of price comparisons were quite shocking. The neighborhood pharmacy’s prices are not as good as you think. Here is what was discovered:

nitrile gloves

, possibly the most used medical supply in the healthcare industry, are sold just about everywhere. Everyone from adults taking care of their parents to doctors in the emergency room must wear Nitrile exam gloves for safety and sanitation purposes. At the number one leading pharmacy chain, Nitrile gloves cost $5.99 per box of 40. At TwinMed Direct, the same gloves cost $4.99 per box of 100.

Wet wipes, also known as adult washcloths, are used for perineal care in babies and the elderly. They clean and soften skin while preventing a myriad of skin problems. The price of  moist wipes at the top two pharmacy retail chains was about $.07 per wipe. At TwinMed Direct, moist wipes cost about $.03 per wipe. That equates to a huge difference in the long run.

The last item compared was a digital blood pressure monitor. Keeping tabs on blood pressure is extremely important in healthcare. If blood pressure is too high or too low, something needs to be done about it as soon as possible. At TwinMed Direct, the digital blood pressure monitor cost $33.25. At the leading retailer, the nearly identical blood pressure monitor cost $74.99. Now that’s a huge price difference!
