Glasses Exam - $139
Contact Exam (Toric) - $120
EXAM TOTAL - $259

I called Target, Sams and Costco, all ranged from $110 to $130 including exams for both glasses and contacts (for astigmatism). Target was the most expensive, but its a new super target and the equipment looks pretty darn new so I might go there.

Yeah, guess what, I called Costco and they told me between $100 and $150 for the glasses including the exam. Guess what? I went there, paid the $59 for the exam, ordered the lenses with the frames and it came out to a total of $230 like I said above. And I didn't get any fancy options -- not fancy frames, not even the thin lenses. My glasses came out looking thick and chunky for that price. I'm still pretty PO'd about it.

I'm not buying glasses locally, so I'm not sure how your situation applies to me. None of my quotes were including glasses or contacts, only the exams.

I thought you were saying in the bolded part that you were quoted $110-$130 from Costco for new glasses & frames, including the eye exam. I was saying that they quoted me a lowball price on the phone but wouldn't stand by it in the store.

EDIT: now I get it, you meant just the exams for glasses & contacts. I actually reread it a few times and only now do I see what you meant.

Anyways, I'm PO'd at Costco Optical so RAAAAAAH! BAAAAH! FAAAAH!
