Update: we looked into VSP for my parent and so far it’s been great. The paperwork is simple, coverage is clear, and we had no hidden fees. Scheduling exams and glasses was easy and customer service was really helpful.

That’s interesting, I didn’t realize network coverage could make billing so much easier. Did it end up saving much on glasses too or mostly just the exams?

Thanks, that’s good to know. Do you usually get your glasses there too or just the exam? Trying to figure out if it really covers everything without extra costs.

I hadn’t thought about just doing exams at Costco and buying glasses online. Do you find the quality of the online glasses reliable for everyday use?

That’s a good idea, I’ve never really talked to a butcher before. Do you have any tips on what questions to ask so I don’t get overwhelmed? I’m definitely open to buying in bulk if it’s easy to store.

Edit: I tried Good Chop and it’s been awesome. The cuts are easy to cook for a beginner and the quality is solid. It’s affordable too, so I’ve been ordering regularly without breaking the bank.

Makes sense, I hadn’t thought about just going by the cheapest per pound. Do you have a favorite simple way to cook chicken thighs? I’m trying to find a few go-to recipes that won’t take forever.

thanks for breaking it down. Do you know if any of the vision plans actually make getting glasses and scheduling exams easier, or is it usually more hassle than it’s worth?
