$29.99 complete pair kids glasses from JCPenney + $30 Gift card #Giveaway

I received a JCPenney gift card for the purpose of this review. This post was made possible by Mom Spark Media. Thoughts are my own.

UPDATE: This promotion has been extended through September 15!!! YEAH! More time to get those glasses for the kiddos!

You can imagine that if I am posting something right now, it must be good, right?! Well, it is good! It is GREAT actually if you are a parent whose children wear glasses.

I have 5 kids, and 3 of them wear glasses. This has turned out to be a very expensive thing for me. I will tell you that between their glasses, contacts, and other things, I have spent over $1000 this past year. Yes, you read that right over a THOUSAND dollars for 3 kids glasses.

So, when I was approached with the opportunity to get a full pair of glasses for a child for $29.99, I jumped, JUMPED at that chance! And the great thing is that this deal is one you can ALL get for your kids as well!!!!!

How you ask? Well, just head over to JCPenney Optical where they have this awesome Back to School Promotion on kids’ prescription eyeglasses running through August 31st (NOW extended through September 15). Want to know what the $29.99 can get you? Here is what it can get you:


  • Complete pair of Kids' designer eyeglasses for $29.99
  • Offer includes any kids’ frame up to $120, FREE impact & scratch-resistant polycarbonate lenses, FREE UV protection and FREE eyeglass protection plan for any school-aged child 16 & under. 

I have to admit that I was hesitant about this deal. It seemed too good to be true. But I headed over to the nearest JCPenney (which for me is an hour drive away) with my oldest son to get him an extra pair of glasses. I already had a prescription (the eye exam is not included). I brought my mom and my XiaXia (Yiya-Grandma in Greek) with us. 

As we walked in I saw this sign:

Then I knew it was for real. Ender and I talked to an employee that was there about the deal and asked her what we needed to do to pick the frames. She told us that any frame in the store (ANY) that is $120 or less is included in the $29.99 price. If we wanted to get a more expensive frame we would just pay the difference. So, as an example, if he chose a $140 frame then our final cost would be $49.99. Then she let me know that the lenses included impact scratch-resistant polycarbonate lenses, FREE UV protection and FREE eyeglass protection plan. (But she warned me that if my son's eyes were a higher prescription, there may be an additional charge depending on how high.)

Then she let us look around. We tried on a lot of glasses:





 I told my guy he had to stick to the $120 or less frames, and given that budget, he picked the following pair:


Not the ones I would have chosen, but he loves them!

We even got my XiaXia to try on a pair. You can just call her the Retro XiaXia!

After we picked the glasses, we sat down with the lady in the optical department and she measured Ender's eyes:


Then we ordered the glasses and I paid. I used the $30 gift card I got from Mom Spark Media and ended up with a penny left on it!

We had a great experience and plan to return before the promotion ends on August 31 to get extra glasses for my other 2 children that need them, as well as for my 16 year old brother. What an awesome deal!!! Go find the nearest JCPenney Optical location to you here.

On top of this great deal for all of you to take advantage of, I also get to give away a $30 Gift Card to JCPenney!
