We know that we're spending more money on some items than we probably should, but here's
00:08
some advice to avoid overpaying.

The site GrowAcorns says it's pretty plain to see that some popular designer brands up
00:15
the price on their frames and lenses, as much as 1,000% on glasses that could cost around
00:20
$20 to make.
00:22

00:26

00:33
to 400% by some of the most famous names.
00:36
GrowAcorns suggests turning to online dealers that can compare choices and cuts easier,
00:41
as well as build something tailored to your budget.
00:43

01:09
for a moderately priced bottle to split.

Cheers!
