Save Money on Glasses with Zenni Optical.

Looking to cut costs and save some money? It’s one of the first things my wife and I did when we made our resolution to get out of debt. The thinking was that any money we could save, we would pool together and use to make an extra payment. Every little bit helps.
One cost I never really thought about cutting was eyewear. I’m not sure why, since eyewear is so expensive and I usually focus on such big ticket items when looking to cut costs.
I wish I’d known about companies like Zenni Optical when we were looking to save money and pay down our debt. Heck, I wish I’d known about Zenni Optical last time I had to get eyeglasses! By the time I left my last eye exam I was $274 poorer.
Most of the emotional (psychological?) pain stemmed from the fact that I needed reading glasses. I’m not sure I’d buy eyewear that I need to drive to work from an online site, but I think reading glasses would be a reasonable first purchase. Especially when you consider that eyeglasses at Zenni start at just $8! Even progressive lenses start at $37.00, and Anti Scratch coating, UV protection, Lens Edge polishing and Beveling, Hard Eyeglass case and Microfiber Lens Cleaning Cloth are all free.
Their choice of frames isn’t too shabby either. I personally have a hard time choosing frames, and need to see them on my face before I can really decide. But, something like reading glasses, that I really only wear at work, I can get frames similar to what I have and not really worry about too drastic a change. In fact, I think I’m going to try them out, next time my prescription changes.
