Clothing

I recently found out about a new website geared toward clothing for the military and law enforcement. Although they can be worn by anyone. Check them out at 5.11 Tactical Pants.

With 20 years experience dealing with the military and law enforcement they have recently come out with a brand new line of pants that provide more comfort, more pockets to hold the stuff you need and they also have more maneuverability.
They state that they run true to size and have a cinch waist system that will tighten them up as you need. They are 60% cotton and 40 % polyester which makes them great for hot weather climates.

They are a great price and they have a nice look to them also.

How to save money on glasses

With the price of everything going up and no end in sight, we all need to save money where ever we can and a great place to save on your family's eyeglasses is ZenniOptical.
They have glasses that start at the low price of $8.00 and they have many styles to choose from.
This is a great way to get the whole family involved in saving money for something they need and maybe it will show them that they can save money elsewhere too.

This is one of the ways that my family has saved money this past year since I found about this great website, plus we now look good while saving money and I know it will do the same for you and you will certainly be happy with the glasses that you pic out.


ZenniOptical has even been mentioned in Google Books.
