Well we're still not sure about DH not having a paycheck for 3'ish months -- due to the roof cave-in -- but I've needed Laptop glasses forever, and took advantage of goggles4u.com free lenses combined with Coupon Code: BigSale that ends in a few hours (Nov 27, evening).
No extras, just the cheapest everything came up to $14.99 including shipping (that's with the above coupon code). I want to make sure I get my sizing right (I have a big head to match my taller than usual body, otherwise I'd look weird, and my eyes are set a bit wider than usual).
I also want to see how well I'm able to see with Online Glasses. My recent pair, progressive tri-focals, aren't that accurate for small print, so another reason I didn't gamble with Online Glasses, since I'm not sure if it's the script, or the local place that made them (see I do try to give local business a chance, too bad I can't read small print that well with their product -- that cost more than 10 times as much as the internet glasses! although there will be a difference between progressives and single vision scripts). Meanwhile for small print, I still do better with 99cent store magnifying glasses.

Homemade flavorful tea
I stopped drinking Diet Coke a few years ago, and switched to Lime Koolaid, but I didn't like that I had to put so much sugar in it to make it drinkable. So I tried tea, but it wasn't as good as the more expensive flavored tea sold at the stores. But over time, I managed to come up with a easy way to copy the flavored teas for much less money, and my tea system even gives me variety.
I buy family-sized ice tea bags; I use Luizianne tea, but your favorite tea would do just as well. I also buy Celestial Seasonings Fruit Tea Sampler, and use one family-sized iced tea bag along with one Celestial Seasonings Fruit Tea Sampler bag for a 2 quart pitcher. There's five different flavors; my favorite is the Cranberry Apple Zinger.
I add 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar, but that will vary depending on your taste.
Once I've brewed a batch, I pour more boiling water over the wet tea bags, and make up a 1 quart batch with 3/4 tablespoons of sugar
