I just got a pair of progressive with Transitions XtraActive (darkens in a car and under a hat) lenses with Titanium frames for $188.39 after all coupons. Lenscrafters wanted $1500, 2 local stores were between $1000 and $1100. I got these from EYEBUYDIRECT.COM (EBD). They always have LOTS of different coupons which can reduce the price by 30-40%

Now while I am not saying the EBD frames are as good quality (I have no way to tell but they are fine by me and sure seem the same as the $400 ones from local stores) I can buy 5 to 6 pairs for the price of ONE PAIR from any of the local stores. Been buying from EBD for probably 7-8 years without any issues. Last pair lasted me 4 years and only reason I replaced them was Rx changed.

Zenni and the others are excellent as well but have nowhere near the selection of frames & lenses as EBD. Can't beat their price.

I go locally for an exam and a prescription and order elsewhere.
