Joyce Aydiner says (3rd March 2010):
>>Hi Jeanie,
I don't know if you have seen this but I am pasting it below for you to read. Anyone can now get a free eye test at tesco permanently. You don't have to buy their glasses either.
Tesco offers free eye tests
Supermarket giant Tesco is now offering free eye tests for all at many of its larger stores.
Anyone not entitled to a free NHS eye test can save the £10 fee it used to charge.
Is this a permanent move?
Yes, since 26 February
Where can you find a Tesco optician?
To find your nearest Tesco optician, use the store locator function on its website and click the 'Opticians available' box on the left of the page.
However, Tesco only has 131 in-store opticians across the UK so you may have to travel far for one.
For example, the closest Tesco with an optician to MSE Towers, in west London, is over six miles away, which represents a long trip across the city.
If there is no store nearby, get our Free Weekly Email which includes free eye test offers when available.
How much does an eye test usually cost?
Some get it free, such as anyone under 16, over 60 or who has certain medical conditions (see the NHS website for full info). Eye tests have been free for all in Scotland since 2006.
Some major stores charge up to £25, however.
Here's a list of typical charges given to us today by various non-Tesco stores
Eye test costs
Optician Basic cost
Boots £20
Optical Express £15
Specsavers £19.50
Vision Express £25
Source: individual stores
How to find cheap glasses/lenses
As well as free eye tests, Tesco is selling glasses from £10, which includes both lenses and the frame.
You do not need to buy glasses or anything else to get the free eye test at Tesco.

angie says (11th November 2009):
>>your sums are wrong i make that 80 quid for 3 xx
***Jeanie Says***
I think the original price may have been £40. So half price would be £20 and 3 for 2 would be £40 for original RRP £120. So it looks like Elaine was right. I can't find the offer now anyway but if you do, please send me the link.

| Bargain Prescription Glasses

Olivia Smithson says (12th October 2009):
>>Hi,
I have been following madaboutbargains very regularly and am a huge fan of it. So wanted to share some interesting things here.
Recently, I was searching for good deals for prescription glasses... It was then that I came across PerfectGlasses through Specsavers.
PerfectGlasses features an amazing range of prescription glasses at unbelievably low prices...
Not only do the specs start from as low as £15, these glasses are offered with Free 1.56 index thin lenses and anti reflective, anti scratch and UV100 coating.
It would be a great option to feature www.perfectglasses.co.uk on madaboutbargains so that more and more people can buy high quality glasses at extremely low prices.

carol says (9th October 2009):
>>Bargain from Boots - I have purchased from Boots a beautiful gift box of Sanctuary toiletries which originally was priced at £35. This has been marked down to half price (£17.50) and has the three for two sticker on - therefore I have spent £35 for three beautiful Christmas gifts.
Not bad eh?
Regards
Carol
***Jeanie Says***
Ooh - nice one Carol. They are featuring it on their main page www.boots.com
If you spend more than £45 you get free delivery as well and there are lots of good deals on their offers pages

Linda says (25th September 2009):
>>Anyone out there who buys Menopace or other herbal products aimed at menopausal symptoms, go to your local Tesco. Mine is offering their own brand "Complete" multi vits and minerals for the menopause for an amazing 40p per pack( 30 tabs), plus they are doing a 3 for 2 offer as well! I checked the contents and ingredients and they are the same as Menopace....for literally a fraction of the price.
