Brandi's New Glasses

Recently, Brandi got glasses.  She was having a hard time reading books, which is really odd for a child her age.  The eye doctor said she is very far sighted, and gave us some exercises to do with her eyes to help her learn to focus on objects close to her face.

Boo looks adorable in her glasses. She is on Medicaid, so the selection of glasses we got to choose from was very limited.  She wanted something colorful and funky, but they didn't offer anything like that.  I told her we would check out the eyeglasses on zennioptical.com to find her a pair she likes.  She had fun looking through all the choices, and finally decided on these:

They are cute, and I think she would look great wearing them.  The best thing I like about them is the price.  They are only $12.95! At that price, I told her she could pick out two pairs.  I also like the idea of having several pair of glasses for her, just in case she loses or breaks one of them.  I am not all hesitant about ordering from zenni, because I know several people who have gotten glasses from them, and they all have only good things to say. Plus, the glasses themselves are not cheaply made, which is what I was thinking since they are so reasonably priced.

Have you ordered from zenni? If so, let me know what you think.

Awesome Sale At ZenniOptical

Ryan told me the other day that he wants me to get him new glasses.  The pair he has now are several years old, and he has grown quite a bit since we bought them.  He says the prescription is still okay, but they just don't fit his face properly anymore.  He doesn't need to wear them all the time, only when he needs to see the board at school.

I have been on a mission to find the
cheapest prescription eyeglasses I can for him, and I have heard great things about Zenni Optical.  I personally know several people who have ordered from them, and they all have wonderful things to say.  My timing couldn't be better either, because right now, they are having a huge sale, where when you buy two pairs of glasses, you can get a third pair (or equal or lesser value) free.  And seeing as how some of their glasses cost less than ten dollars each, I can really save some money.

This is a limited time promotion, so don't hesitate to take advantage of this amazing deal.  Simply add the eyeglasses you need to your shopping cart, and the least expensive will be automatically deducted.  It really can't get any easier.

Hearts

Valentine's Day is coming up soon, and for the first time in 16 years, I do not have a Valentine.  Well, I kind of do, so maybe it's better for me to say I do not have a husband.  This does not stop me from looking forward to this love holiday, because I have my three kids to buy something for.  Plus, I am sure they will get me something, too. 

I found those glasses up there at Zenni Optical, and I would totally wear them.  I love the little blingy heart on the side! For those of you who don't know about Zenni, they are the best place to buy glasses.  Those heart glasses are $30, but they have a huge selection of eyeglasses that cost under $10.  That's right.  I said under $10.  For someone like me on a very tight budget, being able to save money on eyeglasses is awesome.  I wear glasses, and Ryan needs glasses to see the board at school, and buying glasses for the two of us gets downright expensive.  I have yet to order from Zenni, simply because our current pairs are still in good condition.  I do have friends and family members who have ordered from them, and they were more than satisfied with their glasses.

The next time you need new glasses, check out Zenni Optical.

I Say Merry Christmas!

I am so tired of people being afraid to say "Merry Christmas".  I deal with people all day during my deliveries, and for the past week or so, everyone has been telling me to have a Merry Christmas, just in case they don't see me again before the 25th.  But, if I go into a store to shop, I am told to have a Happy Holiday.  To me, it's just not the same thing.  It's Christmas, people.

I found these glasses on ZenniOptical.com, and for only $12.95 I can wish everyone a Merry Christmas without even opening my mouth!  I love it.  I know several people who have bought cheap eyeglasses from Zenni and have been more than satisfied.   Being so close to Christmas, I have better things to spend my money on than glasses that cost $100.  I can get these Christmas glasses for under twenty bucks, and spend the rest of my money on more gifts for my kids.  Ryan is a little behind the girls in the gift department, which means I still need to get him a few more things. 

You should check out Zenni if you are looking for new glasses.  They have several other Christmas themed eyeglasses, and tons of regular glasses too, all at more than reasonable prices.  Check them out, then come back here and let me know which ones you would wear to express yourself.

Cheap Eyeglasses

I am all about saving money these days.  Christmas is less than two months away, and I just started shopping.  And by shopping I mean I have picked up a few stocking stuffers for the girls.  I need to find the money to do some real shopping, which means I will be cutting back in other areas, like cigarettes and food, neither of which I really need.  Well, maybe I need to eat, but I could really do without the smoking.

If you are looking for ways to save money, too, and need new cheap eyeglasses you should check out zennioptical.com.  They have glasses for less than $10, and from what I hear, they are pretty decent.  In fact, I have yet to hear of anyone having a bad experience with them.  I am interested to know how your experience was if you have ever bought glasses from them.  I really want new glasses, but I won't have the money until after Christmas.  If I can get a decent pair or two cheap, that would be awesome.

I am also interested in any other tips you guys have for saving money.  Leave me comments. I need all the help I can get!

What's Your Opinion?

I want new glasses.  The ones I am wearing now are a few years old, and a little outdated.  They are gold, rectangular looking things that really don't fit we the right way.  I always feel like I have to really focus my eyes to see through them.  I really want to order a couple of pairs from Zenni Optical.  They have glasses (full pairs) starting at $8, so I could order a couple of pairs. 

I remember when I first started wearing eyeglasses.  They didn't have online stores to order from, and there was never a store offering such good quality glasses as such a reasonable price.  I have been reading, though, that those of us who want to order these glasses online are having a hard time finding an Optician who will measure them for their PD, which is the distance between the pupils of the eyes, center to center, in Millimeters.  Many of them are wanting to charge a fee for this service, and to be honest, I can not blame them.  Do I think it should be some outrageous price?  Absolutely not.  But I do think they need to be compensated for their time. I mean, by buying glasses online, you can save a lot of money, sometimes even hundreds of dollars.  Shelling out a little more to find out your PD shouldn't be that big of a deal.

At least that is my opinion.

Broken Glasses

I broke my glasses Easter Sunday. I have no idea how I did it, but we were on the way to my mom's house, and my nose started hurting where my glasses sit, so I took them off. I was shocked when I saw that the little piece that goes on my nose was broken, because it is made of bendable rubber. I mean, how do you break rubber?
The glasses are a few years old, so Junior suggested that instead of having them repaired I just get a new pair. I love those eyeglasses and agreed to get a new pair only if I could find a new pair similar to those at a reasonable price. Well, imagine my surprise when I found the pair pictured below. They are almost the exactly the same!The best news is that I found this pair at Zenni Optical, in their selection of $8 glasses. I think I paid almost $100 for my broken pair, so spending $8 to replace them is a pretty good deal. And because they look like my old pair, I know how they will look on me. That was always my biggest concern with buying glasses online. They may look good on the page, but there was no guarantee that they would look good on.

If you need new glasses, I would suggest checking out Zenni Optical. I have heard only good things about them, from friends of mine who have actually ordered their products. In fact, one friend was expecting a cheap pair of glasses, and was pleasantly surprised when the pair that arrived was made well. In these tough economic times, we could all use a little help saving money, and being able to get quality glasses at an inexpensive price is sure to help.

I know it will help me.

Ryan Needs New Glasses

My son, Ryan, wears glasses in school. He only needs them to see the board from the back of the room, so most of the time they are in his book bag. I asked him the other day if I could see them, and I couldn't believe the condition they were in. They were scratched so bad I couldn't stand looking through them. The thought of taking him to get new glasses scares me, because I know how expensive a pair of glasses can be.

Luckily I found Optical4less.com. They offer complete eyeglasses for as little as $15. I couldn't believe the different styles they offer. They have rimless, semi-rimless, hingeless, plastic and even titanium frames. They have tinted, bifocal, and progressive lenses available to go in the frames that you chose. If you decide that you want more than one pair you can even get free shipping. At these prices, you could have a different pair for each day of the week.

Your new glasses come with a bunch of freebies, too. Anti-reflective coating, UV protection coating, anti-scratch hard coating, a cleansing cloth, and a colorful, stylish hard case are all included free of charge. If you want to here from some of there satisfied customers, check out their website. I know that hard case and anti-scratch coating will be perfect for Ryan.
