• Because sailors are all cheap bastards I thought I'd share a "deal of the century" I discovered on prescription glasses.
  • Do they do teeth?
    • 
  • Is this a joke?
    • Have you tried Costco? Although the price you quoted is fantastic.
      • I have placed a second order and "splurged" for Polarized Single Vision sunglasses @ $45.94
      • BTW How much does Costco charge for single vision glasses in a modest frame?
        • A lot$$$$ we have done Costco for the last 10 years
          • "2 glasses and test for $115." seems reasonable.... Actually very good. My exam was $ 65.00 alone
    • Nope, dead serious... I was very apprehensive when I ordered them, gob-smacked pleased when they arrived...
  • I've been ordering from them for years...
    • You pay for an examination, they must give you your prescription. My guy (been with him 35+ years) really wasn't happy.
    • I must be doing something wrong
      • You must have priced it as high as possible... here's my second order incl the progressives..
        • Here's the order I just got... and was 100% happy about. $ 30.80 for three pairs incl Fed Ex
        • Nah, they won't give me the glasses if I pay what I want
          • No pic John... your link is broken. My guy wanted me to "try" progressives, for about $500.00 I will at much less
            • Oh, the link
  • And I thought the ones I got from 39dollarglasses.com were a good deal!
  • Makes sense that galsses can be made for under $100, even
