Slim Pickin's

The jet tip for my WaterPik broke in two. No problem… replacement should be easy. Or, so I thought.

A stop at Wal-Mart seemed to be the best choice; yet, a search for my item turned up nothing. OK. No big deal. CVS Pharmacy was on the way home. Alas, no luck there.

Not to worry. RiteAid was just up the street a ways. Again, futility. Being somewhat a resourceful person I figured Walgreens would satisfy my need and should now be worth the extra mileage to get there. Batting 1000 boys and girls.

Finally I drove another distance to Target. Aaarg… ! No store carried the WaterPik Jet Tip replacements.

So a digital trip to Amazon.Com rewarded me with a set of two for just $10.99. That is nearly a 50% savings from regular retail.

Meantime I will use my special brush tip. However, I believe the jet tip does a better job between teeth.

  1. You are so funny, with all your gadgets. I'm glad you will have clean teeth soon.

    Hope you and Shirley are doing well.

  2. Shirley will retire in November and I am, of course, enjoying retirement. We are doing well, wishing the same for you and yours.

    Yes… I am the consummate gadget freak. I do like the waterpik however. Certainly you must suspect that I also like my Sonic toothbrush gizmo. ;-)
