There are many home pregnancy tests to choose from. Some have a digital screen that says PREGNANT or NOT PREGNANT and others have one line, two lines, one line and a plus or one line and no plus. You can find strips that turn colors to indicate pregnancy and more. As of late, pregnancy test prices have ranged from $3 to more than $20 each. Then, a new product hit the market. The dollar store pregnancy test.

Where can you find a $1 pregnancy test?
Walmart, Dollar Tree and other stores that offer everything for $1 sell pregnancy tests. We all know that most $1 items are far inferior to the name brand or, at least, store generic brand of a product, but what about pregnancy tests?

I looked around through multiple pregnancy forms and Q&A sites and found out the real life answer to the question of whether or not you have to spend a mint to find out you're pregnant. The vast majority of women preferred the $1 pregnancy test to the more expensive brand. Some even reported finding out they were pregnant at three or four days before their missed period using the $1 alternative. 

All home pregnancy tests work the same way. The user urinates on a stick or collects urine in a clean container and dips the stick in the urine. The urine travels down the stick to a piece of reactive paper. The paper reacts to HCG or human chorionic gonadotropin. HCG means pregnant and no HCG means not pregnant. 

Are there pregnancy tests cheaper than $1?
Several websites offer pregnancy strips you can purchase in bulk. The price per strip is less than $1. You simply pee in a cup or small container and dip the paper inside. The paper will change color if you are pregnant according to the package details.
