Help Us Find the Cheapest Cigarettes, Please!

[SalandJeff]

Please help all of those who still smoke. Prices have gone sky high. We need to find where cigarettes are cheapest and somehow get them from there!

Please post your state and how much a carton of premium cigarettes (Marlboro, Winston, etc.) cost?


(We all know that smokers should quit for health, not to mention finances. But for whatever reason, some people (my DH included) just can't quit. So no lectures please)

Hey SalandJeff great idea!! We live in CT - fairfield county to be more specific.

We smoke Newport 100's - currently approx $67 before taxes and Marlboro mediums which are approx $64 or $65 prior to taxes.

I know when we went to Orlando in April (right after the taxes on cigs went up) and we were able to go the Hess station near Universal and paid I believe $35 - $38 a carton. Amazing how the taxes and fees vary so much based on location. I think the people there thought we were crazy, because we went every day to purhase a few cartons (for friends and family) and by the end of the vacation, we had 10 cartons in tow........

I think DH is paying around $50 for a carton of Winston's here in NH.

Being a non-smoker, this is gonna sound really dumb.. but i have no idea how many packs are in a carton. But around here (NE Ohio), gas stations have been advertising at about $4.96/pack.

I think 10 but I don't smoke so I'm going off vague memories of growing up with smokers.

They are about $35 a carton here in GA.

Don't come to Jersey looking for cheap smokes, over $70 a carton here from what I have seen.

You guys think it's expensive in the states well here in England it's about £4.50 or $7.16 per pack and we are only allowed to bring back from the states 10 packs per person when we go to Disney. But it's good to know that Hess in Florida is still cheap, last year we paid about $30 at Walgreen's for a carton.

About $55 a carton in Pennsylvania and $40 a carton in Kentucky for Marlboro. The cheapest I can find here in PA are a carton of Pall Malls for $37. Have you looked into buying cigarettes online? My Mom used to buy her cigarettes online and was able to get a carton for around $25. Of course, this was before they tacked on the new taxes in April.

What brand does your DH smoke? Is he willing to smoke another brand that may be cheaper? Or a generic?

Indian Reservations, in some areas, have the lowest prices.

When the cigarettes went up here in chicago suburbs, I went to smoking generics.
I used to smoke Virginia Slims, but they went up to 7.00 a pack and now I smoke Misty lights and theyare about 4.50 a pack. I haven't bought a carton so i dont know the prices.

I found this website which reviews online cigarette sellers... there are so many and the prices very attractive but you might want to consult the reviews to see what kind of service they each provide and whether they are legit...

I quit 14 years ago after having smoked for almost 20 years... the cost of cigs now with all the taxes is unbelievable here in NJ!

 

[ExPirateShopGirl]

Certainly the price of Nicorette and Nicoderm is cheaper than cigarettes finally.

Just be aware that if you are in NY, many places will not ship cigarettes to you.. If you find a place that will, eventually the tax collectors will catch up with you and you will have a hefty fine to pay - in addition to the back taxes..

I believe this has happened in Wisconsin too..

In certain areas of NY (not the city), I believe a carton of "no-name" (Basics; USA Gold; etc.) - with tax - runs around $46 or so..

Hope that helps..

agreed. you can pay double or even triple for what they recommend you dosage than it is to buy the smokes.

I get my Newport Kings for about $4.34 a pack. $3.34 when I have my coupons from Newport. No idea how much the cartons are.

Yup. Thats where I get mine. Carton of Marlboros is around $40, whereas if you were to go somewhere else its around $75

I live in WA btw, lots of Indian Reservations.

I don't smoke but the guy ahead of me in line at the grocery store bought a carton of Marlboro's yesterday. As I recall it was around $50 ($49 something). I live in Southern NH.

 

[Handbag Lady]

WOW, smokes are really expensive now!

When I quit, I was paying $20 a pack or so for Marlboros. Smokes were $1.79 a pack.


If this helps, when I smoked (it was before the internet, wait, did I just say that out loud!?) I used to call the smokes company on the telephone and they'd send me either free samples or a ton of coupons and free samples or just coupons.

I wonder if you can still do this either by phone or the internet now?
