If you're in New Orleans, professional sporting goods. When I bought mine they were cheaper than Academy.

Go to a brick and mortar store to find the frames you like, then search around online and find those frames with the lenses you like. Can generally find a good discount somewhere, I think my last pair came from backpacking.com or some shite.

Also nb4 costas are lame, buy this brand I wear.

Believe it or not but amazon sells Costa's for a lot cheaper than normal. I bought my gf some for $270 out of the store and she lost them and found the exact same ones on amazon for $180. I was shocked

I priced them, but went with Wiley X. They would have been $630.

Costa has a very strict MAP policy and will terminate dealers who break it without a worry in the world. They have a dedicated team that actively searches for dealers that break MAP, so most people are scared to advertise it. Your only chance would be negotiating at a local store, but fat chance there too. The margins on Costas are among the best in the business and people buy em like crazy.

Extremely expensive. I elected against it even with my 50% off. I lose glasses too easily

Not saying this isn't true but I'm looking at a website right now with costa's marked down below MAP, and it's not ebay. Amazon also regularly has them cheaper than most brick and mortar stores.

Not sure if this is still the case but my dad got me a pair from a place in our hometown for $100. DenneyVision is the place. Not sure if they have an online store or if you have to call but worth checking out. I was shocked. He bought a pair there and I told him I was going to need some new ones soon. I gave him my prescription and he shipped them to me a week later. Saved me a ton.

You bought just lenses or a brand new pair? I'm wondering if I could just replace the lenses on my pair I have no and try and save some money

Whole pair. It may have been some special. But he said he got a pair in another brand with Rx lenses for about $140. Mine were cheaper.
