World's cheapest reading glasses

Iiuou

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.
