Yesterday I finally got a day off from two weeks in a row working 7 days a week. It was Sunday, and we got some drizzle as I never expected it to be. Anyway, regardless of the rainy weather, I drove all the way to the eye glasses place I used to get my contact lenses and glasses. I figure that it was time for me to get new contact lenses, so I got there, and get eye examination, and the eye doctor gave me 12 packs of contact lenses. While I was there, I also want to get a pair of glasses but I hope to get a cheaper pair. After many selection, I finally pick one with a "Banana Republic" brand of frame for the glasses. The total of a pair of eye glasses and the contact lenses sum up to $435. That is not cheap I knew. After I got home, I felt a bit regret to spend that much on it. I check online about zenni optical, a pair of nice looking glasses probably about $10 to $20. I felt so stupid to spend over $200 for that pair of glasses.

I pay about $1,000 a year or more for glasses, they arn't cheap. If they are just reading glasses I would say get them cheap online or at the dollar store. For myself I wear them all the time, and need them. I spent the money and the frames last about 4 years for me. I just replace teh lenses each year which is about $500 - $800.
