Do you enjoy getting a manicure, pedicure, and/or massage? These services are a great way to relax while improving your outward image. Though these treatments are enjoyable, they come with a price.
Since I choose to upkeep my own nails and depend on hubby for my foot massages, I do not spend money on these extra pampering treatments. However, I used to spend upwards of $80 every 3-6 months on foot care.
Spending $160-$320 per year
Since my feet develop deep calluses, partly from bunions, I would go through 2-3 packages of socks as well as the discomfort of snagging the hard edges on the bed sheets, carpet, and my shoes. My quarterly visit to the podiatrist to have the calluses removed and my feet smoothed was worth the $80. My feet felt soft, the socks fit better, and hubby’s foot massages were relaxing.
After seeing a paid programming commercial advertising the Ped Egg, my curiosity was aroused. I wondered if the product really worked. Rather than placing an immediate order, I waited until the Ped Egg was carried in a local store. When I found a great sale, had spare Extra Bucks, and was near going back to the podiatrist, I purchased a Ped Egg with replacement blades from CVS. After applying my Extra Bucks, I only owed tax.
Saving $160-$320 per year
I tried the Ped Egg, and it worked beautifully. I love that I can use it right after a bath or shower when my skin is already very moist. The calluses are easily removed, and my skin stays very soft. I use my Ped Egg as often as I need it without having to wait for an appointment. This one product not only save me money, but also saves me time.
- Making an appointment. Finding a time slot that does not interfere with nap time, school time, or activity time gets really tricky. With the Ped Egg, I don’t need a huge block of time.
- Driving to the appointment. No visit is needed with the Ped Egg, so I save time on driving and money on gas.
- Visiting the podiatrist. Keeping the girls occupied quietly in a waiting room takes lots of attention and patience. The Ped Egg eliminates my need to visit the podiatrist which gives me more time to play and be loud.
Though I am thankful for my podiatrist and the services he provides, I love my Ped Egg. Having used this product for over a year now, I know this product works and saves me money and time. By purchasing the Ped Egg with replacement blades on sale and with CVS Extra Bucks, I was able to stretch our hard earned dollars and save our family a minimum of $160 a year in medical payments to the podiatrist while using time wisely.
