Last year I had my first experience with purchasing glasses. I have never had to wear prescription glasses myself, but my daughter’s school had sent a note home asking me to have my daughter’s eyes checked.  After taking my daughter for an eye examination, the doctor said she needed to wear glasses and I was a little worried. One of my biggest concerns was the costs of glasses. I had heard so many stories from different people that prescription eye glasses were EXPENSIVE.

When I first ordered my daughter’s first pair of glasses I didn’t even think to look online. I had ordered her first pair from the doctors office and once she received them, I knew that I better buy another pair because accidents do happen, especially with my kids. I had wanted to have a pair for my daughter to not only keep at home, but a pair for her to keep in her desk at school just in case she ever forgot to bring hers.

I have found that you can buy affordable prescription eyeglasses online and save a TON of money . Take a peeek at these cute children’s glasses at Zenni Optical.

One online store that offers very affordable glassses for both adults and children is Zenni Optical. Not only do they offer very affordable eyeglasses, they also have the option to have your glasses tinted for a small fee of $4.95 so that you have some protection during the days when you need to keep your eyes safe from the sun. With the money that I can save from buying online, I could probably buy one or two extra pairs for y daughter.

If you are in need of new prescription eyewear, take a peek at the huge selection at Zenni Optical starting at only $9.95 at: https://www.zennioptical.com.

As a mom who has been pregnant and carried a few children, I don’t think I will ever have my pre-child body back. I currently try to watch what I eat and I try to go to the gym 3 to 5 times a week for at least 30 minutes to an hour to help keep from gaining those unwanted pounds but I am getting older and with time comes change.

I know there are many moms like me that wish that they could change something about themselves. For many, there are wants of a breast enhancement or maybe even a breast reduction. For me, I wish I could have a flatter stomach. If I wasn’t such a chicken, I might actually consider a tummy tuck one day. This mom has had her fair share of c-sections and for me, obtaining that flat stomach isn’t really happening by doing situps and doing my cardio. I do my best though and for me, that is all that matters.

As for all the other types of plastic surgery, I can honestly say that I am scared. I have seen celebrities have nose jobs that came out nice and even recently I seen someone on a TV show get some plastic surgery done to her behind, but is it really worth it in the long run?. Yes, some of these surgeries can make people look better, but I am not sure that any of it is for me. I might like tattoos, but I don’t like going under the knife for any type of surgery.

If you could change something about yourself, what would it be?

I don’t know about you, but I like to SHOP. Over the past 5 to 10 years I would say, I have done quite a bit of online shopping. One thing that I have learned is that you can….

When it comes to shopping online, you can often SAVE money by staying at home and ordering the product you want online. This isn’t going to be try in all situations, but for many of the things that I have bought online, I have SAVED money by ordering it on the internet than driving to the store.

• The first way you can save money by shopping online is by not wasting your gas in your car to get there. In some cases, they might not even have the product and then you are stuck driving somewhere else, using more gas to find what you are looking for. This is 2012 and gas is not cheap!
• The second way you can save is you can do your research and find the online store that has the best deal for your product. Some stores offer free shipping which is better than wasting your gas money!
• And the third way, which is my favorite is online promotion codes. If you have never used a coupon code or promo code you are definitely missing out on some SAVINGS. I look online for promo/coupon codes every single time I buy online to make sure I can’t get my items for any cheaper. There are many sites like PromotionCode.org that you can look online for when searching for coupon codes for when you are shopping online.

Like I mentioned before, some things might be better bought in person such as groceries and clothing. For many other purchases though, for things like electronics, I really recommend looking online for the best deal before going shopping at an actual store!

Are you Savings Savvy and use online coupon codes too?
