My husband and I went to the optometrists yesterday and had our eyes tested. The business is called Specs241 and if you buy one pair, you get a second pair free.
Vince’s sight hasn’t changed much at all so he didn’t bother with new glasses. However, I am getting new ones. They will be multi-focal (I nearly wrote ‘vocal’ 
) and tinted. We are entitled to a pair of glasses each year so these will cost us very little. I am also getting a pair of bi-focal which will be free.
When we left there, we went next door for a cup of coffee. We had a small blueberry cupcake each too. When the order arrived, the waiter gave us a free Christmas tree shortbread. Aren’t they cute?
I bought them home to eat later but bit the trunk off one before I thought about taking a photo of them.

@Scrapper88 Ours hadn't actually changed much which surprised me a bit.

Cute cookies. That's a great deal on glasses. Free is always good. My last pair cost $140 with insurance.

@LindaOHio That's for sure. And I think they feel they can charge more if part of the cost is being met by the government.

@JudyEv The markup on glasses and frames is outrageous.

@JudyEv We have those two for one deals here although some say the shops that provide them are not accurate with prescruptions.

With multi-focal, the lens is graduated. If you look through the top part, you can see long distance; in the middle it's good for computer work and the lower section is good for reading. With the bi-focals, it will just be for computer and reading.

Vince gave me his as they're not the best treat for diabetics.

I guess they are easy to make. Just add green colouring to a shortbread/cookie mix.

They look delicious. Glasses are so expensive, I'm glad you get one pair free.
