I didn't see any I really liked at Zenni for everyday, but will go back and see about fun. I ended up ordering from Coastal Contacts, which in the end wasn't super cheap, but still way cheaper than I've ever paid for glasses before.
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

I have three pairs of these: [link] in different colors that I love. But I like this shape. And several sunglasses because I worry less about the frames and attractiveness in sunglasses.

That link didn't take me to any pair in particular, but I did just go through and confirm that even their cheapest frames would be $90 in my prescription, which is way cheaper than the typical ones I've gotten, but still actual money. So that makes me feel better about the $150 or whatever I spent at the other company.

So, this is why I get mad at CNN and think it is worthless at times:

I tip delivery guys a LOT - I live in a 4th floor walkup so anyone willing to bring food to my door deserves a huge bonus. (I don't tip Fedex or UPS, but I do give them $$ at Christmas.)

Argh -- Jesse, it was the third pair on the left side.
$90! Whoa. Yeah, spending $150 on what you like totally makes sense.
It's 6:15 AM. I just ordered $70 in pizzas.

Those were the ones that caught my eye! And yeah, I need the $80 lens upgrade for my one bad eye. Which is part of why glasses store glasses usually cost me like $400. That, and my expensive taste.

Zenni works for me because my prescription is so basic -- I usually end up paying $20 or so. My usual glasses at my optometrist cost me like $200 and my insurance another $250. It seems a good trade off.
But my prescription hasn't changed in years so I have a stockpile of glasses now.
My students have the AP exam today. I gave them goodie bags yesterday and sent a text to all of them this morning saying GOOD LUCK! I really like this group of kids. It makes it hard to think about next year because I dislike some of those kids already.

I actually find that I don't need the lens upgrade for my one bad eye as long as I get plastic frames. I am -5.00
I just spent about $50 on 5 pairs, including 3 sunglasses.

I'm -6.25, so I get scared. Since I do like thick frames, I could probably do a step down on the thinness, but I get scared.

I have to get my glasses from my optometrist, because I can't find anyplace else that carries the ultrathin polymer lenses I use for bifocals. I will get my frames from LensCrafters, since they have a better selection of those than the eye doctor's office.
