I have written about 50% off meat in fact Michael James has even asked if Cut Rate Meat is Safe . My wife and I have expanded our cut rate shopping to the 50% off rack of various goods. We enjoy getting some treats for a very cheap price, but would you trust half price condoms ?

Our grocer has in fact made it very easy to see the items he has slashed the prices on. Cheap products usually has a triangular flaming pink label with the words 50% Off emblazoned on it. There is no danger you might miss these good bargains. These items are about to reach their best before date , so you are taking a little chance here, but so far we have not run into any issues with any of these products (even the meat).

A while ago, I needed Anti-perspirant. I went up the aisle that this product is on. It is next to the Family Planning section of the small pharmacy in our local grocers.  I quickly chose a manly smelling fragrance, OK, I found the cheapest one I could find. I then noticed something odd out of the corner of my eye.

A large 50% Off label on boxes of Condoms

I’ll let that one settle in for a second. Yes it was not just one box it was a group of about 8 boxes of various condoms that were 50% off. Half price condoms, is this a good idea ?

Who, in the name of Dr. Spock would rely on birth control that they picked up for 50% off? I leave this as a question to my good readers, would you trust 50% off condoms? Would you buy them for your kids?

Be prepared. I have the ultimate story that my friends know, but my good readers have only had me hint at, that may come out one day, about my Failed Vasectomy. NO I would not trust cut rate Condoms, ever!
