Eyeglasses at BJ's Wholesale Club didn't seem to be a bargain

The husband needed glasses, so he went to Lenscrafters. I suggested he go someplace more affordable...perhaps BJs for frames (because he has a big head and is hard to fit) and Value Vision for lenses. He didn't want to do all that driving around (4 extra miles), so he ended up at BJ's. The frames were half price (orig. $159), which wasn't bad, but he put every bell and whistle possible on his progressive lenses bringing the bill to $300. He probably could have gotten the same price at Lenscrafters (and not had to wait 3 weeks for delivery, so he is mad at me).

Just bought a giant ham I don't need. At 69 cents/lb., how could I not?

Every now and then I join BJ's because they have something I need and can save more than the cost of membership when purchasing. Then, when they send out their coupon books, I tend to get drawn in for a visit...as was the case today. They had Smithfield spiral cut hams ("purchase by" date later this week) for .69 lb. This is one of those times when I have a lot of food in the fridge. But, at that price, it's cheaper than dog food (and far more appreciated). While we will eat some of the ham, the pooch will get a lot of it. I'm sure I'm creating a demanding monster (things haven't been the same since the dog tasted cheese), but the bargainista in me couldn't refuse. At least I already have it disassembled and bagged up.
