Had fun getting new glasses today. Got money put on HSA card to cover the extra that vision insurance doesn't cover. Well 2 vision insurances are not insurance, but discounts. One is a 30% discount and one is 20% discount so I can get 2 pair glasses. Pick out a pair of sunglasses and a pair of glasses. There are no prices on the glasses samples. Total is $1400 with discount plus another $70 co-pay for eye doctor visit. Um, I don't have that much on my HSA card. Tell clerk I didn't realize glasses cost $900-$1000. The clerk says he wished he knew that. He goes behind the counter to bring out a couple drawers that are $179. Getting 1 pair this time. They are ugly. He grabs all the pink ones. I am not crazy over pink though my sweater I am wearing is a pale pink. Finally decide in decorative blue ones. I don't really like them, but I can tolerate them like a lot of things I wear. Hey, I have buy what people make. Drop the polycarbon for plastic that will be heavier. Then take off the reflective coating that my current glasses have. Which probably explains why I hardly use my sunglasses and have trouble seeing at night cause reflective coating makes everything darker. Got price to reasonable rate then they have to add on the co-pay. Now my HSA card declined. Check the balance and still won't go through. I realized I have less on my card than I thought cause I didn't put money on my card this month cause I needed it for groceries. After I got my paycheck Monday, I had plenty of money to get me to the next paycheck. That is no longer the case. I want to cry.
