Really? Yeah I can see how that can happen.

I have a friend who has them, and she loves it. Walgreens sells it (well i know my Walgreens has it) and it's cheaper than the infomercial.

Beware...use the product on dry skin only (if you soak first, it won't work) and put a paper towel on the floor (you will make a mountain of dead skin and the contraption does NOT catch it all as the makers imply!)

I did something wrong, then, because I looked like my feets had been mauled by lions afterwards! Guess I didn't have enough callouses?

Anyhow, I do NOT recommend using this for the first time just prior to vacation.

My husband and I wondered if that thing really worked!

I love my pink PedEgg. And yes, you have to do it right over a trash can.

Honeykiss1974 · #5 01-12-2009, 02:56 PM

Yes, the PedEgg does work and it is DA' BOMB. Ditto about putting a paper towel underneath your feet because some will fall out of the egg. But other than that, no complaints here!

I have yet to get a GF grill and the Food Saver. Now that the Boy and I are eating in more often, they'll be very handy to have and hopefully they'll help us save money.

We use our GF two or three times a week. It's nice if you live in an apartment, want to grill, but don't have the outdoor space. It doesn't taste like grilled food though, even if you don't like charcoal and use gas or propane instead.

My cat HATES the PediPaws I bought for her at CVS. But then again, she's a completely spoiled psycho.

I'd like to try the Smooth Away and the Strap-perfect someday, but that would require me to have extra cash on hand to fritter away.\

And GF grills are awesome for making grilled cheese sandwiches!

THAT'S WHAT IT'S CALLED!!

I'm not sure if any of you have flown JetBlue yet, but they have individual TV screens that you control on the back of each seat. I noticed this person like two rows up from me was watching the Bumpit informercial...and I wanted to know what it was but of COURSE my TV was broken. Thanks for posting it!

I wanna try it... but I think only the mini Bumpit would work for me... I would probably look ridiculous with any other.

SPACE BAGS!!!

My mom's friend told her about them, who told me. They are amazing and are great for storing things that you don't use, like seasonal items, or for moving.

I had some similar bags I got and they were a god send at the dig site last summer. I had my clothes sorted into bags, and it kept the dust off my clean things, and all I had to do was grab one item from each bag to get dressed. The dirty clothes stayed outside and went into a laundry bag. I had the cleanest and most organized tent at any archaeology dig known to man. I also wore makeup every day and brought my hair straightener, plus shaved every time we got a shower, so take that as you will.

Standards must be maintained. My family has pictures of 10 yr. old me camping - pink foam rollers in place, green macramé purse with me at all times.

(Yes, it was the 70s.)

Got 'em - and they work! An earlier poster had said that her friend had problems with straps being uneven - I'm guessing her problem was getting the straps even in the first place. It's a tad awkward to do yourself - but once in place, I've had no problem with them slipping. And yes, you do get a "lift"! I give it a thumb's up!

Anything for a lift! AND, I have a gift card to BBB!

-Have the Magic Bullet - would rather have a real blender (mine is at my house, my mother decided she didn't need hers anymore); the one minute bit doesn't do it for me. I think that having bought it (them) from an informercial (read: paid too much) soured me somewhat.

-The Ped-Egg destroyed my feet for about 3 weeks. I guess I was too hard on myself with it.

-Love, love, love the Space Bags! I may actually get another set. All my summer whites are in them, but I haven't tried them with sweaters. Has anyone?

-Another fine hair victim. I think it would be easier to tweeze my hair rather than sand it.

-The GT Express Cooker. Think shaped electric frypan. My mother watched that informercial. I think we need to join Informercials Anonymous!

I just bought them from the As-Seen on TV store at the mall today. I haven't tried them, but I'll be sure to give and update when I do.
