When you have four people who live in your house and three of them wear glasses, you will find lots of eyeglasses laying around the house.  The amount of money we have spent on glasses here actually makes me sick.  Madison’s frames alone were over $200, and she has two pairs.  Bill has an everyday pair of glasses and a work pair of glasses.  I have a normal pair, and a pair I had to buy in Green Bay several years ago when I got an eye infection.  I didn’t bring anything with me besides contacts, so I couldn’t see when I had to remove them. I can only imagine that we’ve spent over $1,000.  Up until January of this year, we never had vision insurance either.

When I came across Zenni Optical, I was floored.  Their glasses start off at $8.  Yes, I said $8.  How do they do that?  They only sell their own manufactured frames.  They have no middlemen and almost no advertising budget either.  They rely a lot on word of mouth.  They also have a flat shipping rate of $4.95 no matter how many glasses you order.  I can only imagine how much money we would save using Zenni Optical versus our local eye place.  If you are needing glasses, you should definitely check them out!
