I don't know why I feel guilty about this...but I do. I decided to continue to see my regular ophthalmologist because I have been going to him for so long, but I shopped around for my contacts and found them $117 cheaper (for a year's supply) than buying them at the office. I guess I feel guilty because I have been going there so long and he's a great doctor, but I just cannot justify spending all the extra when I can get them so much cheaper online. I felt a little bit awkward having to tell him not to order me the contacts because I was getting them elsewhere...am I the only one who does this? I have no problem telling mechanics and the like that I am shopping around, but then again, I have no ongoing relationships with any mechanics!
Not much else going on...looking forward to DH's second paycheck tomorrow. I think it might be about $800. I'm really not even sure what we are going to use it for, other than to fix the brakes on his car next week ($300). I will probably put a few hundred in the savings account attached to our checking account, which is where my student loan is directly debited from every month. I have one cc payment of $95, but nothing else that HAS to be paid. Hmmm...it's been so long since we've had money that was unaccounted for!
Why do I feel guilty?

What's more important, saving yourself substantial money or helping him retire in Florida??

If anyone else is interested, I used shipmycontacts.com. I can't say anything about their service yet as I won't receive my contacts for another few days, but their prices are rock-bottom.
