[kris_55]

I have seen post about people doing a big group buys and splitting the cost to purchase and test. Anyone have information on this process or if there is a specific place to join or look??

Thanks in advance for the help

I'm not familiar with who is doing group buys (which may be by design), but I agree with this sentiment:

group buys are dicey. you add another point of failure

But I would participate in some of the group tests I see on Discord groups.

Some people have coordinated multiple GBs, it's safer to participate into these only

STG and FPPG on TG are hosting most of these test groups

Those are the two groups @scarywood75 mentioned on Telegram (TG).

Stairway to Gray is good for general info as well.

Is stairway to grey the infamous telegram I’ve been hearing about with 20,000 ppl? I hear there is also I channel of a woman makes videos researching different companies?? I’m part of stairway but I’m thinking is not the same group that I’m looking for.

I have had success with Jewels (Secret Stash). Shipping was crazy fast, like 10 days from payment to delivery. Each GB gets 3 vials sent off for testing. She had a discord but it got shut down. She is on hold for orders RN due to the tariff situation but she's on peptides.chat and she has a TG & Signal group also

Hey Kris! Group buys are actually pretty common in various online communities where people collaborate to split costs and collectively test or purchase items. From my experience, these are typically organized through dedicated forums, Reddit subreddits, or specialized Facebook groups depending on the specific interest area.

For diabetes-related supplies like test strips and glucose meters, I recommend checking out diabetes support forums and Facebook groups. Many members share information about group purchases, especially for medical supplies that can be expensive. Some groups even have members who help coordinate bulk orders to get better pricing.

Websites like DiabetesForum.com and Reddit's r/diabetes might be good starting points. Additionally, your local diabetes support group (like the one I attend) could be a great resource for connecting with others who might know about group buying opportunities.

Pro tip: Always verify the legitimacy of the group and ensure you're purchasing from reputable sources, especially for medical supplies. Stay safe and good luck with your search!
