Cheap sunglasses..........


I love sunglasses.  I've had many pairs..some expensive, some not cheap nor expensive, and the pair I have on in the photo, which I probably spent 10 bucks on.  Currently I have (or had) 2 pair ~ my Maui Jim pair, which I love, are very lightweight, but unfortunately very expensive.  I usually wear them when we're on a road trip as they don't bug me even when worn for 8-10 hours.  The cheap ones I have on above I wear in situations where I might drop and break them, or leave them somewhere.  

I had this particular pair for 8-10 years.  Unheard of!  I've dropped them so many times, the lenses were scratched (but not too bad), and were the ones I wore most often.  Which I lost yesterday.  I went in to Staples to fax some documents and when I was ready to leave, I couldn't find them.  :-(

I looked in my bag, my pockets ~ I even checked the top of my head, haha ~ the fax machine, etc.  I figure they must have fallen out of a pocket, and someone picked them up.  Ah, well.  The were cheap, right?  So I've ordered more.  The one thing I wonder is if the new ones will have flimsy plastic lenses.  The old pair were plastic as well, but thick enough to last 8+ years without popping out of the frames.  I might have to spend 20 bucks to get the same sturdiness of the ones I had.  

What about you?  Are you a fan of the cheap?  Yeah, me too......

Love, 365

  1. Cheap is the best!! The best thing about fixing my cataracts 2 years ago . I could see without glasses and didn't need expensive prescription sunglasses. I went to the Chinese shop and bought 2 pairs for 6 euros. I love them .
    Hope you love the new ones just as much

    1. I received my new sunglasses, which are great! I love them, and they were also $10 each (they came in a pack of 2). I already lost one pair in Texas :-)

    1. Lol, that's a great description! However, I AM cheap. And I love my cheap sunglasses, they are just as good as the ones I lost.

Thanksgiving tales, working again, trip to Greece!...woo hoo

  Romeo and I drove to Texas for Thanksgiving.  The drive sucked, but 14 hours later, we were there!  We did go to the wrong house the first...
