Scammed In America

 

My new glasses came tonight. I couldn't be happier with them. I'll bet you think they look just like my old glasses. They do; same shape, clear acetate frames. Very, very similar. Let me tell you what is different about them. I didn't have insurance to pay for them. I had to figure out how to make them affordable. 

Have you ever noticed that you can go into the Dollar Tree and pick up a pair of readers for a buck? If you'd like a little better quality you can go to CVS or Costco and pick up a four pack of them for twenty. There isn't so much difference in the actual make-up of the frames and lenses. The quality varies, but the ones from Costco are comparable. G’

  2. Not just American. The price of my glasses was similar to yours. I will have to see whether the much cheaper option is available here.

  3. I've made some crap choices about glasses and the place I went to handed be the script and that was it. I did seek the help of the girls in the glasses department. I have to try them on or it won't work. The girls found glasses that fit me head. Who would know that I have to wear a 'child' size glasses?
    Being they were kid glasses, they were much cheaper. But I have heard the on line shopping experience is fantastic!
    Kudos!

    2. We all have those moments, and the ones who don't will get tripped up by auto-correct. Unfortunately, or fortunately for picking something that works, I am as boring and predictable as the Queen of England. I seem to always choose the same thing.

  4. I hope that this will work for me because my glasses cost at least $400 every time. Thanks for the suggestion. Thanks for your recent comment on my blog.

    1. The glasses that I am so happy with I got from Payne Glasses. I have another pair coming from GlassesUSA. I will let you know how they work out. I hope this helps you.

  5. I have a pretty good "in" on glasses. I have two children who are licensed opticians and out of those two one of them is a vision center manager. I guess it's be ironic if none of us wore glasses! lol
