Re: Eye Glasses for $12.95 plus shipping

[Guest guest]

Is it on all my posts? Or just the ones where I use the yahoo stationary?I have the problem of some posts going behind the yahoo box that is sometimes at the right. There is no way to get it off either, is that what you mean? Or that they are running 'off the page' to the right? Carol in ILMom to , 8 DS My problem is not how I look.

Carol. I can't figure out exactly what's going on, but your posts don't all show - the right side is cut off. I have to go to the DSIE site and read it there, where I can scroll way over to the right. For some reason, your messages are not wrapping. Am I making sense? Not a big deal; I just don't know why it's happening.

Super Savings Saturday: Prescription eye glasses for $12.95 plus shipping!

from Money Saving Mom by Crystal PaineIn

between moving last weekend, three flea treatments at our new home

(Ick! We've almost obliterated them--or so we hope!), and having a

garage sale this weekend, I've not done much bargain shopping this

week. Next week it appears life should be slowing back down to a more

normal pace, so I'm hoping to jump back into the game. And hopefully,

I'll finally have some pictures to share of what I've purchased, too!

That said, I did get a really incredible deal on prescription eye glasses that I had to tell you about. Back in September, Education Mom emailed me about Zenni Optical--a

prescription eye glass company which sells glasses beginning at $8.

While I was a bit skeptical myself, I posted about it since she had

tried the company out and been pleased. To my surprise, a number of others left comments sharing about their good experience with this company.

Well,

fast forward a few weeks later and my 15-month-old got a hold of my

glasses and managed to break them beyond repair. I was really

distraught over it as the glasses weren't very old and I knew we didn't

have money set aside in the budget to buy new ones, nor did I want to pay for new ones. I

considered just not having glasses at all and only wearing contacts.

After all, I wear contacts most of the time so glasses aren't exactly a

necessity, just a nice thing to have for back up. But then I remembered that post about Zenni Optical. I showed the website to my husband and we agreed it was worth a shot. I picked out these, we did the measurements, and paid our $12.95 plus shipping.

Two

weeks later, the glasses arrived in the mail in perfect condition.

While they aren't the highest-quality glasses I've ever had, for less

than $20, I was completely impressed. In fact, I like these new glasses

much better than my last pair which I paid five times as much for at a

discount eye glass shop with a coupon!I would definitely recommend Zenni Optical

to others needing prescription eye glasses. While you can't try the

glasses on ahead of time to see how they look, this is an excellent

alternative- -especially if you only wear your glasses part of the time

or aren't incredibly particular about how they look. Zenni Optical

would also be a great place to order glasses for children who are prone

to go through pairs rather rapidly. I'm sold and doubt I'll

ever buy glasses anywhere else. A huge thank you to Education Mom and

the other commentors here who shared this tip; you saved us a lot of

money and made the glasses-buying process an exhilarating

experience-- something I didn't know was possible!So that's one way we saved money this week. How'd you do this week? Post about the deals and

bargains you were able to snag this week or other ways you saved money

on your blog (with pictures, if possible!) and then come back here and

leave your link below. **To make it easy for everyone to navigate quickly through the links, your link must link directly to your Super Savings Saturday post.**

This one's just fine. I bet it's when you use the pretty stationary. It runs off the page to the right. Shari
