Have you tried Costco?
Time for some thrilling heroics.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm looking forward more and more to my eye surgery.
Have you tried Costco?
Wow, CostCo is really offering a lot of new services for members.

Costco turns out to be a lot cheaper. Like 63 instead of 150. Even if I have to buy a 55 dollar costco card I still come out ahead. But if I borrow a neighbors card, then I save more than half. How strongly does Costco enforce the card having the same name as your ID or prescription? I can pay cash using someone else's Costcxo card, but of course my own name will be on the prescription.

Do you need to be a Costco member to use their optometry service? Because you don't need to be a member to use their pharmacy. (I am not a Costco member, so I have no idea.)

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Typo, they will enforce it. But you can buy the glasses, and then get a refund in full on the membership at any time. I do find Costco useful for lots of other things though, and for bulk goods the prices cannot be beat. For just myself, my savings are greater than the membership fee every year.

Used to be for me, but the 20 minute drive is painful these days so I wont use up a membership. The refund idea is great. Yeah costco by law must sell prescriptions to all comers without requiring membership wand without price descrimination. I'll check and see if that is true of optical prescriptions.

checked. Can get exam at costco but not glasses. If I can get someone to buy me a gift card and pay them back I could use that.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I am so jealous of you people without astigmatism. I pay about $400 for my glasses.

Our wings are not tired
I'm now in the zone where when my RX changes I need to get new regular glasses which are progressives (Bifocal), then another pair that is strictly for working at my computer, and then another pair of RX sunglasses for driving. I get really bad headaches if I try to drive without sunglasses. The doc thinks the next time my RX changes I'll also need progressive lenses on my sunglasses so that I'll be able to read the dashboard, and see the road.
It usually ends up costing $850 to $1500 to get everything done.
