Warby Parker

May 9,2026, Saturday night, 7:19pm, pacific standard time,apartment complex parking lot, Dana point, California,USA. I have wanted to get new glasses for years. The pair I have sits too low on the bridge of my nose. That puts my eyes off center and creates an unappealing look. I got my prescription in March but hadn’t made the effort to buy glasses because of cost. I estimated they would be between four to six hundred dollars. This afternoon, while getting coffee at Peet’s, I walked by Warby Parker. I had been meaning to check out the store but never did. I figured this was my chance. I put my coffee in the car and went in to look around. I found a frame I liked for $95. I decided to buy them. I braced for the painful up charges; the lenses themselves, blue light protector, UV protector, scratch resistance, transitions, etc. granted I turned down all of those (accept the scratch resistance, that came with the lenses) total cost out the door: $95. They didn’t even charge me tax. I am going to go back and get prescription sunglasses next. I am still gobsmacked how cost efficient they are and how much I was frigging paying in the past. I feel like I found an extra couple hundred dollars. It is a rare feeling to get a good deal, especially in California.
