Where does one find a basic pg free minoxidil for a low price ? I'm using Kirkland foam at the moment and would love to find another low price liquid/foam pg free.

Is Kirkland foam really that much less? It's not extremely common, but when I do find it, the cost difference is minuscule.

Yep that foam costs much less than liquid no pg minoxidil, especially for people living outside the us that need international orders. Although Kirkland minoxidil is made is in Israel and I live here, the cheapest way for me to get it is to buy on ebay with international shipping. A 6 months supply of kirkland minoxidil foam costs around $80 on ebay. 6 bottles of MinoxidilMax No PG 5% (after the 15% first time discount) costs $129. I use up a 6 months supply in 2.5-3 months so the costs add up. All the sensetive scalp formulas (no pg) cost about the same. The only cheap no pg liquid minoxidil I found is on ebay by a seller called 'vlasyproject' but I'm not too sure how much I could trust them, they don't seem popular at all.
If you know any place selling no pg minoxidil for a good price please share, I would be happy to know. Even if they don't have international shipping I could use a redirecting shipping company to get it over here. Thanks.

I wonder if the Walmart "Equate" store brand of minoxidil is exactly the same as Kirkland since it's also made in Israel (by Perrigo?).
I use the Walmart Equate foam and it seems to be working well, and does not leave my scalp feeling greasy. The Equate liquid, however, does leave my scalp feeling greasy and irritated. The foam only stings when I've been subjecting my scalp to other stuff like Nizoral, Retin-A or hair dyes.
The Walmart foam's ingredients are this: (no PG listed)
Inactive Ingredients: Butane, Butylated Hydroxytoluene, Cetyl Alcohol, Citric Acid, Dehydrated Alcohol, Isobutane, Lactic Acid, Polysorbate 60, Propane, Purified Water, Stearyl Alcohol.
Active Ingredients: Minoxidil 5% w/w (Without Propellant)

Yeah it seems like Equate and Kirkland should be the same, made by Perrigo. Lol, absolute shambles. Made over here and I have to order them off ebay. Anyway I just ordered a year's supply of Kirkland minoxidil foam as I was down to 2 bottles. My scalp still itches with the foam but much less. Honestly even when I didn't use minoxidil my scalp was still always itching... Hopefully Alpicort F will help my scalp situation, should arrive soon.
I think might give the ebay seller a chance with their no pg liquid solution:
vlasyproject - ebay (click for link)
They have a very good price for a no pg liquid solution, not exactly "too good to be true", their price makes sense and this is exactly how much a no pg solution should cost. I really have a hard time understanding why Perrigo is not producing a cheap no pg solution.
I don't trust them enough to only use their product so I will keep using the foam 1-2 times a day and perhaps use the no pg liquid as a third application when I have time.

I wonder how well it would work to slowly empty a container of the foam into a larger container, then allow all the propellant to evaporate and the foam to melt down into a liquid, then decant that back into an eyedropper bottle and use like liquid? I've got about 10 new containers of foam in my stockpile, so I might experiment with one of them just to see. It's pretty cheap and readily available here where I am... less than US$30 for a box of 3 containers of foam, so if I screw up one, it's not that big of a loss.
