The Chronic Consumer

Okay, I don’t know how long Crocs shoes have been around. I thought at first they would just be a one or two season trend, but it looks like they’re here to stay for at least a few more summers. I have never owned a pair of these shoes and think they’re the ugliest things I’ve ever seen!! Yes, I’ve tried them and I know they’re pretty comfortable, but come on! How can you get past the look?? And the whole charms-in-the-holes trend seems dumb as well.

Yeah, yeah — if I were in junior high right now, I’d probably be sporting a pair. But as an adult? Uh uh, no way.

I overheard my husband talking to a friend of his on the phone last night. They were talking about how a metal gas can was stolen from the friend’s truck when he stopped by a bar after work a few days ago to have a couple of drinks before heading home. Anyway, my husband suggested that the guy invest in a tonneau cover so that sort of thing doesn’t happen again.

Anyway, there are a wide variety of tonneau covers available that will fit just about any make and model of truck on the road today. You can get a used one for as little as $50 or a brand-new one for much more than that. It’s really up to you to decide how much you want to spend on a tonneau cover, so be sure to shop around to get the best deal!
