I was clicking around the other night and noticed an advertisement for a FREE TV with purchase at their stores. I expected to see something pretty cheap, and was surprised to see it was a name brand. I have needed a TV for a while now so I decided to look at this further.

The fine print is what killed me though:

Please allow eight weeks delivery for merchandise redeemed online.

You DON'T ACTUALLY GET THE TV. You get a voucher for a TV -- that you'll get in 8 weeks.

So, as I'm wont to do, I came up with two options if you need new glasses and would love a new TV.

Option 1:

Pearle Vision
$350 for 1 pair of eyeglasses.
Your "Free" Camera Arrives in February (if you remember to redeem your voucher)
Total: $350 (Start taking pictures in February -- in overpriced glasses.)

Option 2:

Online Retailer, for example www.eyeglasses.com (You can use the code UPS1DAY for free 1 day shipping.)
$120 for 1 pair of eyeglasses.
Order your Canon A470 from Amazon for $93 + $10 shipping (it arrives the day after tomorrow)
Total: $143 (Save over $200 and get the TV this week).

Don’t let these marketers trick you. We are too smart for them.

There are alot of sites to get deals on designer sunglasses.

www.eyeglasses.com is a great site, I've purchased from there before.

I've also found that http://www.greatdesignersunglasses.com Has some great links.

Always remember when purchasing sunglasses that when your registering a credit card with ANY site. Make sure that the URL has httpS in it. The S at the end of it means its secure and even if your computer has a virus, the information can not be recorded.
