IM-Stroheckers online does T for $58 for a 5ish month supply and needles add $6 for shipping and handling. They can ship to most states.

It can cost as much as $80 or more if you don't shop around when buying it.

A month's supply cost me $9  at Walmart.  I submitted it along with my insurance info, and I think that's the insurance subsidized price.  That's for the IM injectable.

If your insurance pays for any of it it should be cheaper. The $58 at Stroheckers is if insuracne pays nothing and it's all out of pocket.

Jamie, how in the heck did you manage T for $9? I called Wal-Mart, and even with my discount prescription card and the T being generic, it was $120. I went to Costco instead and spent $60 on the vial that usually lasts me 4 months. Got my needles & syringes for free because I go to a low-income clinic.

I pay $5, but that's just my copay. It has always been covered by my insurance.

Well, like I said, I'm pretty sure that it's covered by my insurance.  At any rate, they didn't tell me it wasn't, so that may be a co-pay.  Also, that was for an amount that's supposed to last for 1 month.  Unfortunately, because of the waste that is inevitable, it has only lasted me 3 weeks, so I'm going to have to have a talk with the pharmacist about how we're going to deal with that.  :-\
