    ok,, guess how much i paid for my glasses????

    what,,, $200? NO
    $400? NO
    $150 or so?? HELL NO

    $30 freaking bucks,, yep 30 bucks...

    next pair i get is going to cost a whopping $20 lol

    OK so what i did,, is get a new eye exam. cost me $40

    THEN go to goggles4u.com typed in my prescription. picked out the glasses i like. i use polycarbonate lenses which on that site are $16, normally at an eyeglass place they are more like $90 lol.

    took 3 weeks to get them in the mail,, they are built really well,, my prescription is fine. i was like wtf did i just do lol.

    I have heard of a few places that would make cheep glasses . Maby with funny frames , but good to put in a bug out bag when your nice pair gets broken .

    Glasses aside , the term "cheap as fuck " needs to be defined . There are some ladies around feeding there drug habbit through sex . I have never asked them but I thank there a " cheep fuck " , but you could get some thing extra .

    I'm looking at a Warby Parker, an oh-so-precious hipster company, but I've been looking for "not Sarah Palin" frames since 2008.

    They are midpoint, at $95 for single vision lenses in frames.
    Not a great selection, more a Trader Joe's of glasses.
    Decent warranty, and I have a local spot for repairs or fitting for a couple bucks.

    The estranged one worked with a guy that had plenty of money but he still bought glasses from the drug store...two matching pairs so he could get the right strength for each eye, and then build his own glasses.

    Warby Parker's are pretty cute.

    I wear my glasses the whole time I'm awake and I like something less noticeable and lighter-looking, like rimless or half-rim, but that's just me.

    My grandchildren wear glasses. I just took the girls to pick up their new ones. They like the colors and heavier-looking plastic frames.

    13 bucks . I miss when frames like this used to be cheap before the "hipsters" made them cool. I got them for 20 dollars at walmart prescription, now its really expensive at walmart for some reason

    Do you know how to re-size images?

    The width should be no greater than 800 pixels.

    If you could do that and edit your post, that would be great Hillbilly.

    Hillbilly, it's fairly complicated if you don't know how. Let's take this one down and next time pick a smaller one.

    The website I got my most recent 'cheap as fuck glasses' :p from was coastal.com ..I got them for about $30
    Yeah, if you know your prescription you can get some great deals. There's a code you can use for coastal 'firstpairfree' and you get the frames free and they have a nice selection. I had a pleasant experience with them so I'll be ordering from them again in the future.
