To meld the previous two answers together, yes, test strips can be prescribed and if you have insurance coverage, may cover all or some of the cost. That being said, I use Relion from Walmart myself as buying them myself is still cheaper than what my deductable would be on others, which usually cost twice as much or more than Walmart's.
I don't want to get all weepy eyed for Walmart, but their Relion Brand really can be a diabetic's best friend when it comes to supplies.

I don't know what city you are from, but there is an online classifieds site called Kijiji (Pronounced Kee-gee-gee). It has online classifieds from people selling just about everything and it is separated by individual cities. I have had three replies from people who are selling boxes of my types of test strips for about $20 (YES, NOT 80-100, BUT $20) in my city.
Maybe someone in your city has some to sell. Logging on to the Kijiji adds is free, and there are no strings attached. Good luck.
