Glasses

I just ordered a pair at Wal-Mart.  I looked first at the dr's office and found ONE pair of frames under $200.  Maybe they run specials sometimes, but they weren't doing that today.  So I asked for my prescription and trotted over to Wal-Mart.  They have $18 frames!  $18!

I felt so high fallootin' for only liking a pair that were $58.  My total was $152.

Awesome!   I might go to Walmart for a back-up pair to spend my FSA $$$.

AF - They have a special Paula Deen glasses, because everyone wants their face to look like Paula Deen's.

OMG!   Everyone tells my mom she looks like Paula Deen (which she just loves!!!!   not really) so I should trick her into getting Paula Deen glasses...   Hmmmm....

At least the Sarah Palin look is over.

I was thinking about Sarah Palin while I looked at all of their 'designer' lines:  Paula Deen, Jennifer Lopez, Daisy freakin' Fuentes?  WTH?  None of these people are usually wearing glasses.  Sarah Palin could make a boat load of money with a line of glasses.  And we all know she loves the money.

For cereal, a lot of people were buying Sarah Palin looking glasses 4 years ago.  Now the geek look is in and I hate it.

Did I miss something?

$58 + $18 = $152?


Glad you found something you like.


I decided to use my vision benefit for 2 boxes of contacts. I won't wear them every day, so hopefully they will last a while.

Then I am getting my prescription and heading right over to zenni optical. I could easily buy 4 pair of glasses for what I would have spent on one pair at pearle.

DG - I think she found a pair of frames for $58 and the lenses cost more than that and with tax added it came to $152.  The $18 was the cost of the cheapest frames, not the frames she chose.

Taw is correct.  I sprang for the anti-reflective coat thing because I think that part might be more useful to me than the actual vision correction.

Word. I think this is my biggest problem, too, given that the contacts really aren't helping that much. Then again, the contacts are a sample that is close to, but not exactly, my prescription. So I still have some hope for the real contacts.
