Add this to my list of what I am going to buy as soon as my July spending moratorium is over – a new pair of sunglasses. My current ones are so pocked that it’s like a chicken pecked my eyes out. Add that need to a fabulous sale on SelectSpecs.com.
They have twenty pairs of sunglasses for $13.07. There are five styles that come in various colors, plus two ski goggles for $36.
SelectSpecs.com also has a limited selection of super cheap – I’m talking $8 a pair – regular glasses. The site currently has eight pairs at $8 and two pairs at $13.
The site lays out a price comparrison to rivals Zenni Optical, Eye Buy Direct and Goggles4U, and SHOCKINGLY, SelectSpecs.com comes out ahead. (Internet sarcasm, there.)
But there are drawbacks to purchasing new glasses online. At these prices, however, I think they’d be great for a second pair. Maybe something a bit funkier than your dad-to-day pair.
There are some things I can not imagine buying online-bathing suits, shoes and glasses/sunglasses. They need to be tried on……
Do I like the material?
Does it feel alright on my face?
Do they sit well on my nose?
Do my eyelashes hit the glass?
Do the bows bother my ears?
I need to try SEVERAL pairs on before I finally get the right one……..
I agree with Kathie on the sunglasses. You need to see them on you. But as far as bathing suits order from J Crew on line. They have a great many on sale, and they fit very well.
Shoes are easy to buy on line these days. Most sites have free shipping on returns. Try Zappos they have a good selection. And free shipping and on returns. It makes it fun to wait for your goodies to arrive : )
I will how ever ck out the sunglasses..u never know
I got my latest sunglasses @ Target in the $ Section for $2.50 – They’re kind of trendy but they work & they were cheap enough I got a couple pairs in different colors 🙂 PLUS – when they go on clearance & you know they will one day – I’ll scoop ’em up again and save for when the others get lost,etc. I’ll email you photo’s of them Julia!
Tina, I’d love to see your cheapo sunglasses! Hope you will wear them to the Frugal Fe$tival!
That sounds like a great deal on the Target sunglasses! I don’t understand how people can spend a lot of money on sunglasses……….I am lucky if I get a season out of a pair. Imagine how upset I would be if I sat on or broke a $100 pair of glasses! I have several pairs……..one for the car, beach bag, a few spares. I will have to check out Target.
