Thrifty Thursday: Where Did You Get Those Glasses?

I wear prescription glasses everyday. I like them like wearing jewelry. They help express how I am feeling for the day. Glasses can be cute, but prescription glasses can be expensive, even with insurance. I recently purchased 3 pairs of glasses 2 from Zenni Optical and a pair from Coastal.

The pair that I purchased from Zenni Optical, was during their buy one get one pair half off. I had purchased from them before, but could not pass up a deal on two pairs of glasses.  I am always satisfied with my purchaes from them. With shipping, I paid a little under $20.00. I purchased a red and a multi-colored pair from them and like them both alot.

My recent purchase clear frames from Coastal was may first purchase from them. I have wanted a all clear pair of frames for some time.I made my purchase was made during their first pair free promotion. During this promotion all I had to pay for was the shipping which was less than $8.00. I love my glasses. This site has designer frames at discount prices. Their prices are a little bit higher than some of the frames at Zenni Optical, but if you check their website and or like them on Facebook you will receive alerts for promotions.

There is another on-line site called Glasses.com that I have not tried yet, but I have seen commercials for. Maybe a good promotion will come along for them and I will give them a try. If you have made a purchase from them let me know how your experience was.

Using these two sites has allowed me to try frames that I might not normally purchase at great prices. I would definitely say give one of these sites a try.

Fill in the Blank Friday--Sleep

1.   The last thing I do before going to sleep is         turn on the TV and set the sleep timer . 2.   When I can't sleep I      watch TV until I fall back to sleep   . 3.   The first thing I do when I wake up is     go to the bathroom . 4.   When I'm tired I      can fall asleep anywhere. I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

On the Road Again.....

It was between Chicago and the state of Pennsylvania. Well....the state of Pennsylvania won out for our little trip for our first anniversary. It is a shorter drive than going Chicago, especially since we do not want to spend most of our mini-vacation in the car. I have a co-worker that lived in Pennsylvania and she gave me some great places for us to visit like, the Phipps Conservatory, the incline at Mt. Washington and the Pittsburgh Zoo ( I think that the hubby would like the aquarium). It is hard to believe that it has been almost a year since our wedding, but I can not wait for our time away. Even though I want to see somethings while we are there, I really just want to relax. If  you know any great places to go or see in the state of  Pennsylvania let me know. We are looking at taking some three day weekend trips in the summer and maybe a week long trip to the beach in the fall.  Do you have any plans for trips anytime soon or this summer? Share we might want to g...
