Over the years, I have spent a fortune on AZO test strips.  I just saw this on Amazon.

They cost $ 0.01 verses $3.00 per strip.  Read the reviews to find out if these are right for you.  I am sure AZO strips are better for the person who has only occasional UTI symptoms.

I use the ones from Amazon. They are good as long as you get fresh set of strips. One time I received close to expiration day set and they didn't work at all. I didn't bother to return them because of shipping costs.

I did a UTI test comparison betwen the strips from Amazon and the Walgreens test strips.  The Walgreens UTI strips showed significantly more white blood cells than the Amazon ones. I am not sure if the Amazon strips are very accurate.  They are probably fine for detecting true UTIs.  If you are trying to get an accurate count of white blodd cells, the regular UTI strips from Walgreens are probably better.
