Just ask at any Pharmacy (e.g. Walgreens) they will sell you all you want, for like $0.25 ea!

That's what I thought too, but no big deal. Told them what I needed them for and I needed a large diameter hole in the needle (thick liquid), and they brought out 4-5 different ones for me to look at! Even opened one up to make sure it was what I wanted.

I bought "B-D 3ml 22G1" (0.7mm x 25mm) - whatever that all means :wacko

They would not sell them to me. I explained what I needed them for and they still wouldn't. I guess b/c I'm still somewhat young. They told me to try a vet clinic, but I finally got some at Wally World. Took about Half a day to get stupid syringes.

Wow! I just walked up to the Pharmacy at Walgreens (Mainland & Tezel) and asked - no problem ... then again, I am an old fart ;)

Also try at a feed store. Lockhill Feed Store on Huebner might have them. They should be able to sell them to you without a needle. A needle requires a subscription. Also check with people you know that work in the medical field. Thats where I get mine. I love the 60 ml. irrigation syringes for target feeding and exactly dosing supplements. The irrigation syringes have a large diameter tip about the size of a pencil.

Analytical scientific supply has a great selection for all your drug paraphenalia needs. Aspirators (syringes), bunson burners, accurate scales, you name it.

My wife is in the Vet field and says that if you ask your vet and explain the uses they should have no problem selling you some for cheap. But should also added it should be your Vet that you see regularly (shameless plug for the Vet field) and not just go in there as a stranger and ask.

Tractor supply carries them. Look in health care area.

If you can't find them you can go to any feed store, buy a vaccine for a dog or cat for like $5. They come with one that you can use and just throw the vaccine away.

Not the cheapest, but no questions asked.

I used to work at Eckerds and it was our policy not to sell syringes to young people. It would be in the best interest of public health if we sold anyone syringes so they wouldn't have to share, but who wants every junky coming to your store for their supplies.

yeah, see how they look at you when you ask for a piece of surgical tubing. i don't understand why anyone wants to make it difficult for people to get syringes, as jc said it would be in the interest of public health, isn't that what the doctors and pharmacists are supposed to do? anyhow i get mine at a feed store here in SM, they have an assortment of sizes of syringes and needles right out on the shelf. the needles are very helpfull for injecting aptasia( in case anyone was wondering what i needed the needle for) they're also good for home tattoos!

I get the ones with the really small needles used for diabetes injections. I just use straight lemon juice so I don't need the large needles.
