ah, see, for me, that's how much my glasses ALWAYS cost.
Me too. And while I just got new glasses late last spring, I don't really care for the frames and am looking to replace them. But not right away, because of all of the moving stuff.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

I have 6 different problems with my eyesight, so it's always around the 380$ for me - and I'm going with the cheap options, usually.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am still willing to shill for www.zennioptical.com. I have astigmatism, hella nearsightedness and need the thin lenses, and still, most glasses are under $30. I think the profit margin on glasses is just crazy.

Our wings are not tired.
That sounds perfect for DH, Sophia. He is the worst about losing glasses. I should always have a spare pair or two around for him. I use contacts, but they don't work for him.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I am also a convert to zennioptical. Great glasses, no mark up. I even had my optometrist test my lenses when they came in and they got a 100%.
eta: the glasses i'm wearing right now? Less than $20, including shipping and astigmatism...tho i didn't shell out for the anti-reflective coating this time around.

That looks like a great site. I'll have to see about getting a back-up pair or two from there.

I was looking at them last night. Mine would be more like $40 with the upcharges, but yeah, I might order a pair.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Three seconds on the zennioptical page and I want these: [link] In the black/red combo, natch.
And these: [link] And now I need to stop looking.

I was looking at that second pair, too, smonster. They're very similar to a pair of sunglasses I had, back when I wore contact lenses.
ETA: I'd want them in bronze, though, which they don't have. Silver might work, but black would probably be a little hard for my skin tones.
