Trendy Eye Glasses

My friend Kim just got new glasses. She fell in with the current trend of frames that are small, rimless, and rectangle shaped. Everywhere you look people are wearing the same style of eyeglasses as Sarah Palin. Like her or not, she absolutely launched a trend. Seriously, just look around and you’ll se glasses like the ones she wear just about everywhere.

Kim paid way too much for her glasses, though. Way. Too. Much. I told her so, but in a much more tactful way. I’m nothing if not tactful.
I found this pair of very similar looking glasses at Zenni Optical for $23.95 complete. They manufacture their own frames and therefore they are able to offer all of their styles for much less than you are going to find at retail outlets that need to mark-up the merchandise to compensate for the multiple middle men who are involved. Everything on their website is reasonably priced, even the extras like anti reflective coating. Anti scratch coating and UV protection are free. And if that’s not cool enough, they even have an entire line of Holiday frames.

In fact, you can get a complete pair of single vision eyeglasses for $8. Yep, that’s eight dollars. It’s a frugal girl’s dream come true. I probably should mentioned the $8 thing at the beginning of my post.
