Posted on Jan-30-08 at 08:07 PM (Eastern) by 4.152.147.26 That's insane! If it is a difficult RX or bi/trifocals is that the reason for the high cost? There are always $100 deals with coupons at places like lens crafters, sears, etc. I also heard on TV the other day that you don't have to be a club memeber to go to Sams or BJ's to their optical dept. and buy. (haven't verified that but I do remember hearing that on some show I was "listening" to on TV) I too am shopping for new glasses. I only wear them a few hours one night a week when I don't wear my contacts so I'm shopping for cheap too. I haven't been any place yet but I've been clipping the ads and coupons for all the places in town. I'll start actually shopping in a few weeks. Check those inserts in the papers, home mailers and back of the coupon sections of the Sunday paper. My Dad got his at Sears and his Rx is usually a pricy one and it was less than $200 (frame and lenses, etc). Good luck! Jennifer in North Carolina...the Tar Heel State

Posted on Jan-31-08 at 06:03 AM (Eastern) by 64.12.116.68 They both have budget friendly frames. That is frames under $100. There are also coupons out for Lenscrafter that give you $100 off your frame purchase. I do believe the frames have to be over $150 though. Lisa

Posted on Jan-31-08 at 07:36 AM (Eastern) by 71.0.13.198 even beat the others in price usually withOUT using our insurance. I got daughter's last 2 pr of glasses there and when I go to get mine, will go there as well. They always have some sort of special going on for their glasses as well. Here is link with coupon for $99 eyeglasses (doesn't include the Rx for them, but that has always been cheap there as well for us) http://www.searsoptical.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/GenContent\|;-1\|11251\|10051\|/SearsOpticalUS/Offers/Offers

Posted on Jan-31-08 at 12:55 PM (Eastern) by 68.196.216.171 We could have gotton cheaper frames but we were limited because of the size of my mom's bottle cap lenses. They're more like magnifying glasses then lenses.lol Thanks soooo much for all your input.. Hugs Carol
