Every August, millions of Americans do a version of the same thing: reorganize. Drawers get emptied, closets get sorted, and suddenly there's a pile of stuff that doesn't belong anymore. If you manage diabetes โ€” or care for someone who does โ€” that pile often includes boxes of test strips that you'll never use.

Maybe your doctor switched you to a CGM. Maybe your insurance changed your covered brand. Maybe a loved one passed and left behind supplies. Whatever the reason, those boxes have real value โ€” and StripValue will pay you for them by mail, from anywhere in the country.

๐Ÿ’ก Quick Fact: Americans collectively discard millions of dollars in unused diabetic test strips every year. Instead of throwing them away or letting them expire, you can sell them to someone who needs them โ€” and put cash in your pocket.

Also Buying: CGM Supplies & Other Diabetic Items

We don't just buy test strips. If your back-to-school cleanout turns up any of these, we want them:

CGM sensors especially hold strong value. A box of 3 Dexcom G7 sensors can fetch $50โ€“$80+ depending on expiration date. If you're sitting on extras, don't let them expire in your medicine cabinet.

Why August Is the Best Time to Sell

Reason 1: Expiration Dates Are Closer

Test strips and CGM sensors have expiration dates. If you have boxes that expire in early-to-mid 2027, now is the time to sell โ€” not next spring when fewer months remain and buyers pay less. The earlier you sell, the more you earn.

Reason 2: You're Already Cleaning Out

Back to school season naturally prompts reorganization. While you're already pulling things out of drawers and closets, take the extra 5 minutes to check what diabetic supplies you have. You might be surprised what's buried in there.

Reason 3: Extra Cash Comes in Handy

August is an expensive month. School supplies, new clothes, activity fees โ€” unexpected cash from selling unused strips can go directly toward what you actually need right now.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my strips expire in 4 months? Can I still sell them?

We generally require 6+ months to expiration for the best offers. Strips expiring in 4 months may still be accepted at a reduced rate โ€” contact us and we'll let you know. Don't wait any longer, though.

Do I need to ship everything in one box?

No. Mixed brands in one box is perfectly fine. We handle sorting on our end. Just make sure each box or bottle is sealed and unexpired.

How long does payment take?

Once we receive your package, we inspect and process it within 1โ€“2 business days. Payment goes out same-day or next business day after confirmation.

Can I sell on behalf of a deceased relative?

Yes, and we handle these situations with care. As long as the supplies were not covered by Medicaid/Medicare, you can sell them. Many families send in supplies after a loved one has passed as a way to honor what they had and help offset end-of-life expenses.

What states do you accept shipments from?

All 50 states. StripValue is a national mail-in buyer โ€” we work with customers from Alaska to Florida and everywhere in between.
