This is great! Another awesome site is https://www.39dollarglasses.com. Most of the glasses are $39.99 if not just a little more than that. I ordered a pair last week that came up to $44 with shipping. I stumbled across their ad while reading the newspaper on the train. BTW - I dig your concept and think it's really helpful to all frugalistas.
