I was cleaning my glasses and I guess I put too much pressure on the hinge because they just... broke. In a not really reparable way. Happily, I still have my old pair (same prescription) as a backup, but unhappily the reason I had the new pair was that the old pair was pretty scratched up, so I still need to replace them. Ugh.

(Also, reading along what everybody stocks in their pantries. Haven't forgotten to reply!)

I do - when I'm buying shoes of a brand I've worn before. But I always make sure there are free returns because shoe brands have been known to, for example, make shoes narrower than they used to be so that a known size no longer fits me.
