I have a couple stashed away...never thought about buying any, but mum suggested that I might like to get just a couple as they were a lifesaver for her...and the last thing you want is wishing you had a dummy to help soothe a screaming baby but it's 2am in the morning and nothing is open! So I thought better to be safe than sorry and it was only a few dollars so if we don't end up using them it's no biggie.
