When the prices change daily ...

There I was, cursing the rain for yet another day when I'd be unable to head out for a walk. It's been too long - drizzling, cold days, and cutting winds.

I switched on the TV and there it was, the solution to my problem of not being able to go out for a walk. The iWalkPro!

The advert, showing a couple of lovely shapely young ladies with perfect bodies who don't need a treadmill, bouncing away showing us how good it is. Simply mesmerizing.

All the reviews describing how users sleep better, have lost inches or kilograms, simply by using the iWalkPro.

If you call an 1800 number and order it, you can get it delivered for $14.95. And they'll throw in a $500 air fryer to boot.

I need a treadmill, not an effing air fryer.

But nowhere, even in the fine print could I see the total price. Like, $14.95 is loose change, but when a price is omitted, it worries me that it's probably either inordinately high, or ridiculous for the goods you're buying.

Down the bottom of the page was the "Ask us a question" offer. I asked the question and it was obviously too difficult as this is the answer I received. 

The answer did come in a remarkably short time, and on a Sunday too.

Unfortunately, the answer was a non-answer.

Which other company changes their prices daily? 

Maybe I need to ring up every day for a week and see whether today's price is better than yesterday's.

I figure that with a treadmill, I can do two half-hour stints to total my one-hour walking target daily instead of doing it in one session.

All I need to do is call to see if I can afford a treadmill.
