World's cheapest reading glasses
Millions of people buy reading glasses at CVS and Walgreen's, et al, paying (like me) $10 and up a pair.
That's if they happen to have the magnification you need.
Guess what my crack research team found?
A place where you can get six pair for $11.99 — and they'll deliver them right to your front door.
But wait, you say, there's gotta be a catch.
Well, yes, there is, but it's rather insignificant in terms of the big picture, to wit: shipping costs $5.99.
Which brings your grand total to $17.98 for six pair (delivered).
Why, that's only... hold on, let me get my calculator... $3 a pair.
Cheap at twice the price even without the home delivery.
Oh, yeah, I almost forget — you can get yours here.
And in case you were worried about or wondering whether generic cheap reading glasses are bad for your eyes, the answer — according to my eye doctor and everything I've read over the past several decades in the medical literature — is no.
