But when it comes to saving, I have 20/20 vision.
Case in point, my husband and I both recently completed an eye exam and obtained a new prescription for glasses. The exam was free — just my kind of deal.
But when it came to where to buy new frames, my husband and I didn’t see eye to eye. He decided to buy his at the doctor’s office. Those sleek, stylish black frames by a no-name brand cost him $95.
Despite some flak from my doctor when I insisted on just needing a copy of my prescription, nothing could deter me from my quest for a bargain.
At zennioptical.com I found just what I was looking for. Right on the homepage were all the latest styles in glasses frames, starting at just $6.95.
Yes, you saw correctly.
So there must be a catch: high shipping costs, hidden extras, crummy materials.
Nope. Shipping is just $4, and the extras include a free anti-scratch coating, UV protection, a protective case and a cleaning cloth.
After scrolling through hundreds of frames in different styles, colors and patterns, I ordered a near-identical pair to my husband’s.
My sleek new eye wear arrived two weeks later for a total cost of $10.95.
See the difference?
I’m having visions of outfit-coordinating eye wear in my future.
