Cheap Flip Flops

August 9, 2011 // Posted in Life, Shopping (Tags: , , , , ) |  No Comments

When summer started, all the stores had flip flops out on the racks. I was trying to find a particular kind of flip flop and searched sto rends of stores. I found flip flops for $2 at WalMart and some for as much as $35 at Macy’s. But I wanted a special kind of sole that doesn’t wear down as quickly as the cheap ones and could not find them anywhere. So I bought 4 pairs of $2 flip flops at WalMart and I have to throw out 1 pair every month because they wear out. But that gets me through most of the summer, and if I can find the ones I really like then I will stock up on those when I find them.

Old Batteries

What are we supposed to do with old flashlight batteries? I have heard that we are not supposed to just toss them in the trash with everything else. So I have a little shoebox with old batteries in it. But there never seems to be a day when the trash trucks pick up hazardous waste. I know there must be lots of people with old cans of paint, old rusty gas cans and dead batteries stuck in their garages and sheds. What are we supposed to do with this stuff?
