Amazon Prime is the best value on the planet, everything I buy ships
for free. It gets very expensive driving all over creation to buy
stuff, with the price of gas these days it actually costs a lot less
to pay for shipping because it's not just the gas, it's your time,
wear and tear on your vehicle, and every time you get behind the wheel
there's a risk of an accident. I much rather shop from home at my
leisure, in fact I've been shopping from mail order catalogs since
before I was ten years old... I never liked going to stores. I can't
remember a week passing when at least one package hasn't arrived from
Amazon, most weeks more than three. There's nothing Amazon doesn't
sell, even weird stuff you wouldn't know where to buy... I was getting
tired of fishing hair out of drains with a bent wire hangar, so I
ordered a pair of 12" stainless steel tweezers for $10. arrived in two
days. Extremely well made, works wonderfully well, does a 20 minute
job in under two minutes and does it better. With these tweezers and
my high powered LED flashlight I cleaned the tub drain better than a
gynocologist! LOL

Crocs are perfect for gardening, mud doesn't bother them, just a
squirt with the garden hose and they're squeaky clean. I wear their
flip flops indoors all year, they are far more comfortable than the
cheap ones at the drug stores, etc., they also excellent for non slip
showering, a lot better traction than those silly shower mats that
need constant scrubbing. I think Crocs are a good value when used for
what they're intended, comfortable quality leather footwear is much
more expensive and would be ruined quickly traipsing over wet ground,
no sidewalks here. School kids here wear Crocs, they are a lot less
expensive than today's $100+ sneakers, they last longer, and there are
a great many stylish versions in a choice of several color
combinations.
