Here are some good tips you should know, if you don't already, about shopping online for prescription glasses:
Most of the retailers offer regular sales.
If you sign up for emails from Zenni, you'll always know when they are offering free shipping, free tints, etc. They tend to do this during holidays, etc.
Goggles 4 U has sales and free frame offers, just check the "Special Offers" tab on their homepage. Same goes for GlassesUSA; just check the "Sales and Coupons" tab.
EyeBuyDirect has BOGO sales all the time. Really.
"Like" the retailers on Facebook. Almost ALL of them have a page, and they tend to post coupons and sale notices there. Some have giveaways, too.
Looking for discounts?
Check the GlassyEyes homepage or RetailMeNot for your specific vendor, or just do a Google search.
Get an (almost) free pair.
Coastal, Firmoo and GlassesShop all offer "first pair free" promotions. Typically there is some associated fee (you pay shipping, etc.), but it still might be a way to get some great specs for less.
Keep an eye out for deals on your faves.
Most vendors have a "favorites" cart where you can save your favorite frames -- if you're signed in. Creating an account is free, so why not take advantage of this opportunity to keep an eye on the ones you like? In addition, Coastal adds new frames to its collection every Wednesday, so that is a great time to check in and see if they've gotten something new in your "size." With the addition of new frames, more frames are added to the "first pair free" promo, as well, so a little patience can pay off if you've got your eye on a specific pair.
