It was almost too good to resist. For just shipping and handling charges, I could get a second one for free! I hadn’t even thought of getting one, but when I saw on TV how much I really needed a PedEgg to get rid of all that thick calloused skin on my feet, the idea of getting two for the price of one was the clincher.

The price for the first one was $10 plus a $7.98 shipping and handling charge for the total of $17.98. Add my shipping and handling for the free one, and the whole total was only $25.96! I thought it was free.

I soon found out you can use only one at a time.

How much handling can something the size of an egg in a box take? Oh well. I should have learned when I ordered that pen developed by NASA that could write upside down and under water. I don’t know if it could really do that, because I soon learned that I seldom write upside down, and never under water (at least not on purpose. That cost only $5.98 to handle.
