    I have heard bad things about the little strips. I would go with the digital tester. Much more accurate results.

    i just googled it.
    40 was the best price i found.
    some were up to 200
    most were around 70

    I would suggest a digital tester too. You can find them for pretty cheap on eBay. Make sure you pick up some calibration solution too.

    I have them all.

    The Hannah PH meter is GREAT but you have to pay attention to the calibration or your results will be off and disaster pre-programmed.

    On Edit: Do NOT buy "El-Cheapo" or you're gonna get results accordingly.

    Or get a MUCH CHEAPER liquid test from Walmart (Aquarium section) or Pet store. Costs only a few bucks and works just as well.
