I have noticed I only purchase sunglasses if I break a pair or if I am in a car that does not have my sunglasses in them. I try to keep one pair of sunglasses in each car I travel in, but sometimes I get in a friends car and there are no sunglasses for me so I will stop and buy a pair. I have about 6 pair now. When do you buy yours and how many do you own?

I own several non prescription pair. I buy them cheap at the dollar store. I wear them when I wear my contact lens. I only have one prescription pair and I can't find it which isn't good because I haven't been wearing my contact lens in a while due to allergies.

I have never had a prescription pair, I have had the glasses that changed in the sun. They were never dark enough for me though. Now I wear contacts and have some of the darkest sunglasses.

I ordinarily buy them 3-10 pairs at a time at the dollar store and just throw them in a drawer until I break a pair, loan a pair to a friend and never get them back or whenever I am in need of a pair of sunglasses. Iused to buy 10 pairs every month or two. Then when I started going out less and less often I found that I only needed to buy 5 or 6 pairs of shades every year or so. Now I have had the same pairs of sunglasses floating around for the last two years. Haven't broken a pair and haven't loaned any out. Pretty good rate of depreciation on my last ten pairs huh? I still have 6 or 7 left!

That may be a good idea, I might just do that too.

I wish to know how many I have, because when I need one pair, I can't find it. I think I may have more than 5. Last pair was located by my cat at 3 am. She did have a lot of fun moving it over my hardwood floor.:)

I use to sell the brands you own in a kiosk in the mall. I was shocked at how many people would pay such a high price for these sunglasses. mine get lost and broken way to easily for me to be able to pay a high price for them.

I have a pair I love right now and I really should look for another pair. Im really picky with sunglasses and it takes me a long time to find the right pair. So right now I only have one pair.

Well i used to buy only when i lost/ broke a pair.. but lately i have bought 2/3 pairs just for the heck of it . It's rare that a pair would suit me so if i ever find one that suits me, i buy it. I have around 4 right now.

I don't hardly ever buy sunglasses. I only have one pair now and my mom bought them for me. They stay in my pocket book (in a case) so I have them with me all the time.

I wear glasses and cannot see without them so I have never been able to purchase sunglasses in my life. I would love to be able to go to a store and try on sunglasses. My husband has one pair in the car that he uses and when they break we will get him another one.He only has one pair at a time. 6 pairs would be fun so you could change. I hate having to wear glasses. You cannot change glasses oten as they are too expensive. I have had these for over 2 years now

i only have 3 pairs of sunglasses as of now. but only one is my all time favorite. it's been with me for more than 2 years and i love it's fit and my eyes are really comfortable when using them. the other two were only gifts to me from people who came home from other countries. since, it's just a gift, it's not mostly a perfect fit for me. so, the two just end up on my closet. i tried to look for a new pair of sunglasses this afternoon. but i just can't find one great pair for me again.

I buy a pair once every several months, I would say every 7 or so months is when I get a new pair. I just like to keep things new.
