Best Price on Bausch & Lomb PureVision Contact Lenses

Posted by kim on October 14, 2009

My kids get sick of me talking about “when I was a kid” when I try to tell them just how lucky (and spoiled) they are.  For instance, when I was a kid, I had really bad eyesight, worse than any of my children do.  I longed for contacts to rid myself of the “coke bottle” glasses.  Once I convinced my mom I was responsible enough to wear them, I had to save enough money to buy them myself!  Since I had such a bad astigmatism, I also needed weighted Gas Permeable “hard” contact lens that were extremely more expensive than soft contacts. Working at the local dairy sweet for $2/hour didn’t add up real fast. When I did finally save up enough money, I wore those contacts proud, even though they were extremely uncomfortable, and I couldn’t see worth crap out of them. Needless to say, my Lasik eye surgery was the best investment I’ve ever made to date!

Now that my kids (and now you) had to hear/read that story, I finally gave in to my daughter Mallory, who has been wanting contacts.  I wasn’t quite sure she was responsible enough yet, but she has proved me wrong.  And no, I didn’t make her pay for them herself.  Considering the amount of money that I spend monthly on her siblings for medications alone, I figured it was only fair.  Wait, her dental bills made exceed the medication…

Anyway, Mallory was prescribed Bausch & Lomb PureVision Regular Contact Lenses for one eye and Bausch & Lomb PureVision Toric Contact Lenses for the other (inherited the astigmatism from me).  Being the thrifty shopper that I am, I searched over a dozen contact lens websites to do price comparisons.

I found the best prices at Contacts America where they even guarantee the lowest prices on the web including shipping*.

PureVision Contact Lenses only $28.99 per box Retail Value $55 (what you’d pay at the eye doctor)

PureVision Toric Contact Lenses only $37.99 per box Retail Price $70

There are also several coupon codes for Contacts America available!

I ordered 2 boxes of each (4 boxes total) and used Coupon Code: FREE-XP07 for Free Shipping w/$99 to save $7.95.

*I did factor in shipping while I searched for the best price. Many other sites offer “free shipping” but there may is still a “handling fee” so buyer beware.

Now where can I find the best price on Alcon Opti-Free Replenish Multi-Purpose Disinfecting Solution?!

I’m feeling a bit under the weather today, so decided not to make a video for this edition.  For one, I don’t have that much energy, and two, I wanted to spare you my bleak appearance.  So between my trips to the bathroom (I hate vomiting) and nursing my stitched up wrist (read about my mishap here), I’ll still keep you up to date on the cool stuff I got in the mail this last week.

Free Sample Playtex Personal Cleansing Cloths from Walmart
Free Sample Aveeno Positively Ageless Lifting & Firming Night Cream + $1.50 off Coupon
Free Sample Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Care
I took a picture of these last two samples packaging (as if I didn’t have anything better to do, but) because the models look strikingly like the same person from their eyebrows to their laugh lines.  The only difference in the makeup and lighting.  And I don’t think Aveeno and Garnier are from the same manufacturer?

I got more Free Address Labels and a Personalized Notepad from March of Dimes - after donating to them, they send me these packages practically every month.

I received my iolo Technologies $10 rebate and a few Free Catalogs…
Free Get Organized Catalog (cool stuff)
Free American Girl Catalogue (my girls like this one)
Free SkinStore Catalog

I also received what seemed like a massive amount of bills this past week!  One of my daughters, Macy, is quite the socialite and went way over her cell phone minutes to the tune of $200. Plus the medical bills never seem to end, and likely won’t anytime soon as Mallory needs her teeth fixed.

Mallory has been doing a lot of babysitting this summer and saved enough money to buy herself a new Polaroid 8.0 MP Digital Camera (in purple), and loves it!  I wish Miss Macy would start babysitting more to pay her cell phone bill!

Have a good week!  I hope mine gets better!
