Freaky Frugalite

Have you ever taken a really close look at the iPhone or those high-tech screen protectors? I have. No matter how much I handle my phone, the screen display really doesn’t get dirtied with fingerprints. I figured maybe the reason was because the iPhone is made of glass, but that’s not it at all. It’s [...]

Well, I did it. I got a pair of cheap eyeglasses from Zenni Optical!!! I’ve been wearing them for quite a few weeks now. I’ve blogged and blogged about them countless times, and I finally got the guts (and the cash, lol) to order the glasses. I wondered if they’d really be up to snuff [...]

AI CHI HUA HUA! Have you been to an optician lately?? The cost of eyeglasses is absolutely through the roof! Tears stung my eyes when I saw the price tags. How can they charge SO MUCH for eyeglasses. Do you have any idea how cheap it is to make them? Like, $25 or so. The [...]

I haven’t [...]

I mentioned earlier that I *finally* got an eye exam, after 6, 7 years. I need new glasses. I have to go through the rigamarole of insurance company’s musical chairs (they will pay for an exam here, eyeglasses there, but not an exam AND eyeglasses anywhere) or pay $250+ cash out-of-pocket. Ouch. I’ve heard so [...]

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Zenni Optical. All opinions are 100% mine. I went to the eye doctor last week. My main purpose was to get a new pair of prescription eyeglasses. I’ve had my current ones for about 6 years now, and they are all beat up and [...]

Maybe by now you’ve heard of Zenni Optical. But I knew about Zenni long before Clark Howard and Eric Hammer raved about them! Five out of six people in my family wear eyeglasses. Holy cow, do you have any idea how expensive it is to buy eyeglasses?! For me, it would be about $250 for [...]
