...And I mean that cost-wise.
See, we have preventative-only vision insurance. Or whatever you want to call that where they pay for the exam. Well, and I guess it covers a portion of the glasses as well. But nothing for contacts.
I have bad eyes, people. Really bad eyes. With an astigmatism. Which means my contacts aren't ever the cheap kind -- or the kind they have in stock so I can have a sample pair while I wait for mine to come in.
Usually this means I am an expensive person to buy contacts for. I was expecting the absolute worst.
So I was pleasantly surprised when even my grand total after buying 1 year's (for me 2 years' -- I'm naughty) worth of contacts for both eyes plus the copay plus the "fitting fee" was cheaper than what I thought it would be just for 1 year's supply for one eyeball.
I was also happy to hear I haven't damaged my eyes with my bad-contact-wearing-habits. And that my prescription hasn't really changed, so I didn't have to worry about new glasses either.
Bonus!
I teasingly told my husband that he got an expensive wife after all... Just not in the way he was thinking originally ;)... (My eyeballs and teeth are usually more costly than he was anticipating...)
Anyway, I'm glad for that good news. And also glad I'll have contacts again in a week... I'm on my last pair and have been for several months.
What are you grateful for today?
