You know when your watching tv and an ad comes up telling you about this product and it seems like you absolutely need it?
My mom bought a blood pressure monitor a while back ago and it doesn't work well at all. They took so long to ship it that she couldn't get the 30 day back garrantee. There is something else on TV now that looks good to buy, should my mom even bother buying it?

the only things that are worth it end up in the stores, but if not then they don't. i'd wait to see if the product goes to the stores first!

I wouldn't trust it if it was an "infomercial" or one of those "act now" come ons. If it's not a regular commercial where you can go to a store and buy it, don't trust it.
BTW, I bought a blood pressure monitor from Fred Meyers. I only paid about $60.00 for it. Works just fine.

You should read "The Blood Pressure Solution" (also available in electronic format, watch the video presentation here: http://www.fixbloodpressure.com ) It's a very comprehensive step-by-step book that walks you through the natural remedies of high blood pressure. It provides you with a lot of information on what foods to eat, how you can acquire and prepare these foods, how you can change your lifestyle for the better, how to eliminate the toxins from your body, how to reduce stress, how you can check your blood pressure level the correct way etc.
The book is amazing in that it not only lowers your blood pressure without the help of medications; it also aids you in having a life that is healthy, happier, and less stressful. This book chanced my life.

What you should do is be sure to research the product itself, and the company that adveritises it. Hit the internet up and read some consumer reviews if possible. Then decide based on that info. Try www.consumerreports.org.

Television ads are just like internet ads, if you filter through the crap long enough you're bound to find something useful but most people don't want to spend that kind of time.

We have "As Seen On TV" stores here and they are full of that kind of stuff. Some of it is really clever and useful and some of it is pure junk. At least though I get to see and touch it before I buy!

ha ha ha. in my opinion, not ALL things sold on tv are ABSOLUTELY worthless. however, you would most probably get the better deal shopping at a local store rather than via television.

Absolutely worthless. The pitchmen like to claim NOT FOUND IN STORES, the reason this crap is not found in stores is that most stores avoid this junk like the plague.

There's a whole store of that crap in the Mall of America so it can't all be bad if people actually go in there and buy it I guess lol
