Buying Cheap Sunglasses Without Sacrificing Quality

You can choose cheap sunglasses without sacrificing quality. Most people would like to protect their eyes adequately from sun damage and look good, as well. With a bit of effort, you can do both without breaking the bank.

 One of the best places to find cheap sunglasses is at closeout stores. These stores often buy retailer or wholesale overstock at drastically discounted prices, and pass the savings on to the consumer. You can usually find name brands along with generic or store brands, which may work equally well. Examples of some of these closeout and discount outlets include:

• Big Lots
• T.J. Maxx
• Marshall's
• Value City
• Family Dollar
• Dollar General
• Ross Dress for Less
• Marc's

Department stores like Wal-Mart, Target, and K-Mart carry a variety of sunglasses at affordable prices. You can also find decent cheap sunglasses at some clothing or shoe stores, like Old Navy and Payless. Although you may not immediately think of drug stores when you want to buy sunglasses, they can also be great places to get cheap sunglasses. Many even carry sunglasses year round. Although sunglasses at major department stores are usually more expensive, check their outlet store selections for more reasonable deals.
In addition to dozens of individual online sunglass retailers advertising inexpensive sunglasses, you can often find deals on major discount and overstock retailers like Overstock.com and Amazon.com. Online auction sites, such as eBay, may also offer a pair of good quality sunglasses at a great price.
 Many thrift stores increasingly carry new overstock as well as pre-owned clothing and accessories. Name brands are also being sold in greater quantities at thrift stores, so don't underestimate what you may find there. You just might stumble accross a pair of high-fashion, name-brand, incredibly cheap sunglasses that are perfect for you.
The best time to find sunglasses at lower prices and at the best selection is mid-summer, particularly in regions with more significant seasonal weather changes. At this point sunglasses start getting discounted and placed on sale as merchants prepare for the influx of their fall inventory. If you wait until the end of summer, sunglasses will be more drastically discounted, but the selection will be limited. Quarterly sales can also yield cheap sunglasses.
