11. Reading Glasses

I fear I  am about 3 weeks away from needing reading glasses, but up to now I haven’t had to try these. 😉 I have heard that they are great, though! This is a “frequently misplaced item” so to have several pairs throughout your house, at work and in your car is probably a good idea- especially at $1 a pair.

These are also an awesome, and very much needed, donation item for senior centers, community centers, non-profits, immigrant/refugee centers – anywhere people without insurance tend to be. I used to volunteer at a refugee center teaching citizenship classes and the students (all adults, all with jobs, all still very much living in poverty) would SHARE reading glasses to read their coursework questions. Needless to say, as soon as I discovered people were sharing there was a surplus of reading glasses available. Life is hard enough without not being able to see!
