 Posted: 01/20/03 - 17:35 Post subject: How much for sunglasses?
When my boss left to go get his big bucket 'o' fried chicken for lunch, I noticed that he had on a pair of $100 sunglasses. He's got plenty of money and can afford to spend that much but if it were me that was rich (and it ain't) I still think I'd stick with sunglasses that cost <$20.00 a pair.

The trick is to date chicks that work for optomitrists...they get a big discount and you get your Oakleys for free...now that's the ticket!

First,  at "bucket o' fried chicken" I don't know why....
Second,  I tend to break my sunglasses on a fairly regular basis. I have actually found a correlation that the more I spend, the faster I break/lose them....

I'll try that, but I think that Mrs. Hayes will get mad at me. Free Oakleys just might be worth it though.

Yeah! I'm cheap---$10 is all I'll pay for sunglasses, especially as often as I misplace them, and the kids break them! 
I call them my walmart specials!

Don't think I'd ever spend more than $20 on a pair. Im lucky enough just to get through one freakin summer with the same pair. Of course, if I would just stop getting in all them fistfights, that would help my cause...

Every year or two I load up when I come across a "$2/ea bin". I hate carrying/worrying about 'em, so I have cheapo pairs in every car, jacket, & bag.
$100 is nuts... on running shoes, okay, but not shades

I am truly blind without my glasses. My lenses alone usually run $200. I tend not to lose or break my sunglasses. If they were only, say, $50 I would think I was getting quite the deal.

20$ max for a pair. My hubby likes the $100 pairs but since we've been married I won't let him buy any. While we were dating I seen one pair wash away in a river, so he got another pair. Those managed to get lost a few months later.

I have three pairs of $100 sunglasses. I've had one pair for 6 years, and the other two for 3 years. I don't misplace them, I don't lose them and I don't get them scratched up. Now, my running shoes only cost $85.

Not really more than 30 bux. I tend to keep them in the same place all of the time (my head, in the car when I am done driving, or hangup up my running one)
Robin loses her 125$ pair all of the time , but manages to find them. Nice thing about them is that she gets them repaired all of the time when they break which only cost around ten bux.

$3.50 on sale at kmart. I lose and break them too often to spend more than ten bucks.
