Probably should have gone with a wittier title, like "huge sale on big condoms"...
I'm afraid this thread might turn into a series of d**k jokes, as most of the condom threads do, but am taking the chance and posting anyway since this is the best deal of I've seen on Magnums in quite some time.
Drugstore.com has a sale going right now for 28-50% off regular prices (depending on size / style / quantity), before 25% bing CashBack (the regular link only shows as 20%, but the sponsored links on the right hand side are coming up 25% for "Revlon" and "Gillette," and probably others).
Anyway, the 12 pack of the Magnum XL sells for $13.50 at the pharmacies near me, so this deal is pretty good (on sale for $6.49 - $4.87 after Bing). Add in the fact that I don't have to get weird looks from the ladies at the register and I'm very happy...
The regular Trojans might be on sale too, but I didn't bother checking.
Edit: Looks like it is all Trojans (not sure how I'm going to explain this to my boss when she checks the Internet logs)... discounts on the regular size ones range from 15-50% off:

You must be married.
You must have an awesome wife. When I was married, a 4 pack would've lasted 30 years (even though we were in our 20s). Now that I'm single, thankfully, I need to look for deals and stock up...these things get expensive.

Why do you need these if you are married (assuming, of course, you are not cheating...)? That is one of the advantages of married life - you are not worried about STDs, only unwanted pregnancies - and there are plenty of less annoying ways to handle those.

Yeah, Trojan Magnums are petite to me! I usually use grocery bags or garbage bags

Take this from experience as I've been a member of the MagnumXL club since they came out (and it was about time... one size fits all - yeah right). When you are checking out, the checkout lady is NOT looking at your face when she realizes you are buying these!
Now the TRUE embarrasement is when they switch checkout people and a guy checks you out (in more ways than one).
But seriously, MagnumXL is spotty in stores near me, yet those that do carry them are typically in the $8.xx area for a 12 pack here. This deal is sure a good one after BC, but if I stocked up to get free shipping - I've had them expire before using them up (sigh)
Update: I was at WalMart today, and they have them for $5.97/12. I know many people hate WalMart, but look at the pleasure to pain ratio

Sadly, I've had both the guy and lady encounters...my first time buying the big black box was an older woman (Jamaican maybe). Made a comment along the lines of "shame you're packing and you look like that, so you never get to use it" - I would have been upset, but was a little drunk and had someone waiting for me back at my apartment.
On the male front, it was the first time post-divorce. I was mortified and grabbed some other stuff too (diet sprite, skittles, box of twinkies and a magazine). The guy was extremely not heterosexual and was looking me up and down when he saw the box (to the point where he was trying to scan the wrong side of the package). His comment was along the lines of "somebody getting lucky tonight," to which I said, "yeah...if you can hurry up" and he responded with "no...I meant her...magnum xl very good." Sadly, she was asleep on my couch before I got back.
As Lewis Black once said, I have neither the time, nor the patience, to make this S**t up.
I heard the "one size fits all" thing from a girl recently. She didn't believe me until we tried with one of hers and ended up with shrapnel across the four corners of her living room...

I think Trojan makes a large polyurethane (Supra maybe). Anyway, it's supposed to be big, but they're either not, or they don't stretch as much. They didn't break, but were as uncomfortable as regular sized latex.

$68 for 138 rubbers. Three 36-packs of Mags, and three 10-packs of the Ecstasy Mags. Ought to last me a few weeks. Normally I don't like to get cheap prophylactics, as they're a worthy investment, but as many have stated, you're gonna use 'em eventually, and it saves ya the awkward trip through checkout. Last time I bought some, I made a special trip to the Albertson's store that had self-checkout stands. However, about 60 seconds before I checked out, they shut off the damn self-checkout stands due to worries over potential electrical surges caused by an impending thunderstorm. What luck!
