Cheapskates: Eyeglasses

I'm creating the Cheapskates entries to help those who like to find bargains.






In this edition, I will be discussing finding cheap eyeglasses. Recently, I had to buy new glasses because mine broke. (All my glasses have a tendency to break on me. This is my fourth pair of glasses.) After looking at all the chain eyeglass stores, i.e - Lenscrafters, Pearlvision, Cohens, etc., I started searching for glasses on the internet. And this is where I discovered the website: 39dollarglasses. com. On this website, a complete eyeglass set, which includes the frame, lenses, and hardcase, all cost between $39 to $59. They have a wide selection of different types of glasses from metal frames to bold frames to prescription sunglasses. All the frames seem very stylish and you can definitely find the right pair for you. Navigating on this website is extremely easy, because they categorize all the different types of glasses very well. Also, they have face models with different face shapes, so you can find your face shape and see if the glasses look good on you.

Once I realized which glasses I wanted, the buying process was very easy. First, I had to create a profile, which included my name, address, email address phone number, username, and eyeglass prescription. It was just like signing up on any other website - very simple. Once that was established, I just picked which frames and lenses I wanted and added them to my cart. Once I placed my order, I received an email stating I would be getting my new glasses within a week. And sure enough, I did. You can track the whole order on the website too - everything from the initial placement to the shipping.

All I can say, is that this is the best bargain for glasses anywhere! I bought a pair of bold plastic glasses for only $39 and plus tax and shipping, it was about $45. Also, I googled 39dollarglasses.com discount coupons, and I found a code that gave me another 15% off my total purchase. I have not needed to do this, but the website allows you to exchange the frames for free, if you decide you don't like them, and all you pay is the shipping.

My new glasses are great. The lenses are durable and scratch resistance and my frames are very sturdy. 39dollarglasses.com really makes good quality glasses. I would recommend this website for people who have been wearing glasses for awhile and know their face types. If this is the first time you have ever had glasses, then I would say go to a store because you probably don't know which frame type looks good on you, and also you don't really know how glasses will feel on you. But if you are like me, and go through glasses a lot, then go ahead and order from this amazing website!
