Yes, actually. All forms of birth control, other than condoms, are expensive. The bar, which lasts 3 years, costs thousands alone.

Because both control != STD safety of you're not in a steady relationship.

It's good practice to use more than one method of protection during sex. My boyfriend and I use 2 or 3 contraceptive methods every time.

Yeah of course, when you're not in a stable relationship you have tot use condomns! But in my country pills are way cheaper (20 euro per year to be exactly), so that's why I was wondering how much it costs in America.
