It looks like it would save us $30 per bottle to do that, however we are not always able to afford to do things the cheapest way yet!
For instance, we can order combo tests as a nonprofit MUCH cheaper than we can buy them individually, even at the cheap spay/neuter place (we get our combo tests at ATA for $18 each - the nonprofit price is about half that), but we have to buy them by the case, and we can't afford a whole case yet. Very frustrating, but we will get there. We are about to be able to buy a case of microchips though, very exciting. I think the OP is only going to need a few tho.
