Just so you guys know, Lenscrafters will deal like a mother fucker. You can haggle all the way down to 50% off or more. That's why they have salespeople. Let the sales person spend a good 20 minutes on you then balk at the price. Suddenly they will remember all of kinds specials that are running. Last pair I got there originally rung up at $485 with everything and I ended up paying $220 something.

The salespeople have a ton of discretion over price and the margins on lenses and frames is HUGE.

I know they all go to a wholesale grinder, but I think lenscrafters lenses and coatings are better quality than costco lenses, and of course the frames are way better.
