For those, who wear contacts, how do you stay frugal buying them? Are there any sites to get free or discounted contacts? Thank you.

I can’t wait to order some! I’ve been wanting new glasses for quite some time but just didn’t want to spend the money! This is great!

I’m not sure how to send you information on a different deal than the ones already posted, so I decided I would just comment on this post.

Since one of the players stole a base during a World Series game, participating Taco Bells are giving out a free crunchy beef taco Tuesday, October 28th between 2 and 6 p.m.

You can go to this web site to get the details. (Not sure why it isn’t clickable!)

Here’s a link to great american cookie company: http://www.greatamericancookies.com/aboutus.html
They have a coloring page that kids can print out with coupons at the bottom. Also, they have cookie mail than send things on birthdays. Only drawback for me is they only let you register 4 kids and we have 5…

I got my eyeglasses last year from 39DollarGlasses.com and Optical4Less.com and I love them. There’s a blog that’s been extolling the virtues of online glasses stores and does extensive reviews of them: GlassyEyes.com

I used Zenni Optical for my daughters glasses. It has held up really well considering how much “abuse” it receives! I would definately use them again.

Glasses are way over priced in the USA. I used to work in Korea and had students who worked as eyeglass exporters. They were exporting them to the USA for $4 a pair and competing with China who was exporting them for $1 a pair. Eye doctors make tons of profit on even selling one pair of glasses so don’t feel too bad buying cheaper ones like the linked website has!

Thanks for always posting some great deals! They come in really handy when I can actually find things in stock – gotta get going early Sunday morning to stash some more cheap and free things away for charity!

One of our past rentals had fleas when we moved in as well! We got rid of the heavy infestation by having it (the carpet) sprayed with some sort of permethrine (sp?) solution along with nightly vacuuming for 21 days. After the 22nd day or so we seriously no longer saw a flea!

Love my glasses from Zenni. They are just as good if not better than my old ones — and much cheaper.

I too have ordered from Zenni Optical. I ordered frames that were $8/each and paid $12.95 TOTAL.

I am going to order some with tinting next to wear as “sunglasses” as I am sensitive to light/sun and have to wear sunglasses to avoid a headache and never could afford or justify prescription ones as I do wear contacts 50% of the time!!

Also ordering a spare pair for my 9yo that has already broke one pair of glasses in the first 6 months of owning them, lol.

I am SOOO not going back to the persnickety boutique where I got my $700 (yes, slap my hand) glasses. I just found a $20 knock-off of my frames on this website. And since I’ve gone from 20/20 to tri-focals in 1 year, ha ha, I’m in desperate need of a new pair. Thanks Crystal!

Why do I suddenly feel like having ten different pairs of glasses in 10 different colors to match my shoes? I’m such a deal FREAK! I want more glasses now!

I just wanted to say thank you for this carnival. I linked to this blog and my stats went from practically nothing to 75 within a few hours. I know 75 is nothing compared to your numbers, but it is an encouraging start.
