A Spare Pair

I mentioned a few posts ago that I broke my spare pair of eyeglasses. Not really a big deal, but something I would like to take care of. Cheaply, because let's face it, I am cheap.

So I was thinking cheap, and eyeglasses, and Zenni optical popped into mind. A friend of mine recently bought a couple of pairs of glasses from them, and said she was shocked at the quality of glasses she received. Shocked in a good way, not a bad way.

I am sure I would be thinking the same thing she was; at only $7 a pair, how nice could they be? Sure, they look great in all the pictures, but what about when they actually arrive on your doorstep?

Well, according to my friend, they are great. She has had them for a little while now, and they are holding up just fine. She actually said that she doesn't see a difference between them and an old pair she paid a couple of hundred dollars for. Now, my friends opinions mean a lot, but I also did a little research of my own. I found this article, and this guy seems to speak from experience, too. He wrote about the good and the bad, and it seems, at least to me, that the good definitely outweighs the bad.

I think I might give them a try. I mean, it's only for my spare pair, unless I like them better than the ones I wear now, then they will become my everyday glasses. And if I really like the quality, I might have to buy a bunch of pairs, like one for every day of the week. I pay the same shipping for one pair or twenty, so I may as well get my moneys worth.

Right?
