Seasoned on Nov. 10, 2009 at 6:40 PM Shared In Tightwad Tuesday
Hello dear friends, I am still around. I am almost 6 weeks post op from surgery. I am doing much better. I am able to some of the housework, driving, kid's school, etc. I am shocked a little that it still hurts. I still have difficulty turning on my side without pain. The pain is tolerable, no tylenol needed, just bothersome. It will go away soon, I am just sure of it.
The real reason of this post is a great find......perfect for Tightwad Tuesday with my SSIC Canadagirl.
As some may have noticed from my pics on the site, I started wearing glasses last year. My oldest dd as well. Last year, our family spent $900 at the eye Dr for just my dd and myself. $120 of that was the visit and the rest eyeglasses. I had my annual check up 2 weeks ago. Of course my prescription changed. Honestly, I could not swing more for new frames........so I got my lenses changed only. On the way to get my new lenses, my current frames fell apart. They were able to fix them, but the screw they used does not fit my frames. I have been concerned about them coming apart again. BTW, my new lenses only and visit was $184. Talk about expensive. My dd has her annual visit in Dec...........so I was in a search for cheaper glasses just in case her RX changes and a back up pair for me. And that is where the tightwad tip comes in.........a friend of mine told me about a site that has complete glasses for as cheap as $8. Some are higher, but I do not think there is any over $50. That price is frames and lenses. All you have to do is plug in your script from the eye Dr. It is $4.95 shipping no matter how many you order. At that price you could get some for every color to match your wardrobe, haha. I am not that kind of gal, but 1 more pair would be sweet. So if you are in the market for eyeglasses it is a great place to order. I did check ratings of the site, they have very positive feed back. Also they were featured on a news station as a deal, not a dud. So, check it out: http://zennioptical.com/cart/home.php
Be blessed,

Thanks for sharing this wonderful tip! I just had to get new lenses -- bifocals, nonetheless. Thankfully, my frames were still in great condition, so I could reuse them.

This is super! I am so in need of seeing the eye doctor as my vision has changed. No insurance and it is very expensive as you know. The expensive part for me is the type of lens I need. But the girls are due for new frames so this may be just what we need.
Hope you are feeling your self soon. I still get pain at the site of the hernia repair and mine was so small. ( the hole was the size of a dime) Anyway it seems worse when I am tired and stressed.

I wonder if the price is the same for tricky prescriptions. My kids need some extra lens grinding and other strange things.
