Sweetwater has 2-packs of Ernie Ball electric guitar strings in selected gauges for $10 with free shipping.

$5 a pack isn't an absolute best deal, BUT it's the best price I've seen in ages when buying only 2 sets of strings. Single packs sell for $7 each. Usually you have to buy 10-packs or more to get to under $5 per pack. This is a nice way to try a different gauge or have a set or two without stockpiling two years' worth of strings.

Shrinkflation? Feel like only recently these were 3-packs for $10.
There's a dental hygiene program within a couple hours of the vast majority of people in the US where you can get a very honest examination, radiographs, and cleaning for about $30. You can contract out an entire dental team to work with you to fill a tooth for $150 of which only $45 is profit. You can avoid most tooth decay by drinking one sugary drink or less per day, brushing twice per day, and flossing every day. If you are have a low income, most states in the USA provide free medical and dental services at health departments. There are dozens of free dental clinics traveling the country if you just bother to show up.

Yes, it's a decent deal in 2024.

Yeah, I saw those. Not a bad price (about $4.33 a pack), but you've got to lay in a BIG supply.

Anyone here remember the String Club from Guitar Center from a few years back? You paid $20 a year for membership and you could get $5 off a set of strings every month. Seems like they stopped it in 2016 or 17.

$10 in 2018 buys as much as $12.45 or so in 2024. Blame the people making your money worth less.

I used to have it. It ended around 2019, give or take. It was a good deal.

These are great strings. Been using the "regular" 10s for awhile on my Les Paul Standard. Haven't broken one yet, even after I changed to a heavier pick and three finger held pick attempts! 9s kept breaking on me so this is longer lasting. In for one set and the free candy, along with a call every week asking how I'm doing with my new "gear".

I have actually split my orders a few days apart before to get my little bag of candy. Every time I buy something, I tell my wife I just got it to get a bag of candy.

Agreed on quality. I've been playing on Slinkys for 20 years. Super and Regular Slinky's on my basses right now, and Mammoth Slinky's on my guitar.
