Teresa from Money Saving Maine-iac let me know that she purchased the Accu-Chek Aviva Meter today at CVS and found a rebate inside. The rebate is for the amount of your purchase price up to $40. If you purchase the meter, priced at $10 and use the 8/23 SS insert coupon for $10, you'll get the meter FREE. Send in the rebate and possibly get $10 back for each purchase (not limited per household).

While getting a rebate on something that you got for FREE seems unlikely, it isn't rare for a company to send them out. This is a gamble but may be worth your 44 cent stamp to find out!

What do you do with a diabetes meter if you're not a diabetic? Donate them to nursing homes, homeless shelters, and friends or family with diabetes. Have you found a great place to donate new meters? Let us know! I give all of mine to my father-in-law and mother-in-law. They especially like the ones that come with test strips!

Another suggestion is to donate them to dialysis clinics. Alot of people on dialysis have diabetes.
My mother and law is having a tag sale in 2 weeks. I've never had one but I have a huge stick pile and othere odds and ends around the house. Slick deal has a tag sale thread and said the meters sell very well for $3. I have alreadfy donated probaly over 100 or so of them. I have 3 in the kitchen. I'm going to try to sell them at the Tag sale.
My mom works for a small free health clinic. I donate the readers to her clinic.
