City Think You Might Be Pregnant? Broke?
Posted by Dan Savage on Tue, Sep 22, 2009 at 12:08 PM
There are plenty of old and beat-up looking home pregnancy tests on the discontinued rack at the QFC on 15th...

Hmmm... when an item's been discontinued that kinda says something about its effectiveness.
I wouldn't buy a discounted, discontinued parachute either.

I may just buy these to give as a joke to my many one night stands. After saying that, I'm only going to need one.

i love the discount baskets! there was one at the broadway qfc full of adult diapers, laxatives and those "twister" condoms... i did the same as you and totally took pictures.

I buy store brand for a lot of stuff, but you'd think it would be worth the extra dollar for the brand-name pregnancy test.

@6: The only difference between cheap pregnancy tests and expensive pregnancy tests is the expensive ones are for women too stupid to tell the difference between one line and two lines. They need the test to actually say "pregnant" or "not pregnant," otherwise it's just so confusing!
Discounted pregnancy tests (provided they are not expired) are ALWAYS the way to go.

@10: Hey, that second line can be pretty faint. And if you send your spouse out to the store after midnight in a panic with orders to buy fifty more tests so you can be sure, this post is a public service.
Also, if you drink a lot of water so you can pee more to take another test, the line just gets fainter. You know, in case anyone needs to know that.

#10 how many have you taken in your life? 1000? 2000? no seriously though, it must be in the low hundreds, right?

A friend of mine got two negatives, but intuitively knew she was pregnant. Got two false negatives. The third confirmed her suspicions.
That was the early nineties. I don't know if pregnancy tests have gotten any better since then.

Or you can be me and paying urine based pregnancy tests can be a waste of your money. I had 3 girls and none of them ever showed up on a urine test. Even at 9 months when my doctor did it just to see if it would show me as pregnant.

Buying pregnancy tests online is the way to go! You can get them much, much cheaper, and you can read reviews of their sensitivity and reliability. www.peeonastick.com told me everything I ever needed to know about pregnancy tests.

If items on that rack are only priced as marked, how are other things in the store priced? (How the elephant peed on my urine test, I'll never know.)

I was just at that QFC, hilarious!
