Multifocal lens for € 1!!!

An unbelieveable offer but with a slight catch.

Are you in need of a multifocal lens of reasonably good quality.

SpecSavers, a British firm now also operating a franchise in Finland, is offering multifocal leneses at € 1 a pair!

The CATCH, You must buy a frame of at least € 79.

That means you pay € 80 for a multifocal lens.

I bought a norml frame and lens in Ahmedabad in late November 2009. You will find the entry on my main blog, as the name of the shop had an interesting meaning in the Finnish Language.

I paid just Rs. 3500 for the pair, which worked out at € 60.

To get a multifocal lens at € 80 is certainly worthwhile.

There are a couple of SpecSaver shops in Oulu. I have found them to be courteous and helpful!

Great buy at a Flea Market

This entry is posted on 2 blogs - my main Jacob's Blog and my Oulu Best (Worst) Buy Blog.

Annikki and I are Flea Market addicts. We have picked up some really great buys at the Flea Markets. Usually we find exactly what we need when we set out to find the item. Coincidence?

Last Sunday, as Joanna, who is visiting Oulu, had approritated my last adaptor for her English hair drier, I was desperate to get hold of an adaptor to use my Indian bought LG Computer screen.

When I said I was going to a Flea Market, Annikki, who has not been out for weeks, was ready to tag along.

We went to the closest Flea Market to our residenece.

We were shocked to see the number of cars parked around. It was as if all of Oulu had descended on this Flea Market.

As I wandered around, I saw this a really beautiful designed multipurpose adaptor set.

It was just the one I wanted.

And the cost, an unbeliveable, € 1.50!

I have bought less attractively designed adaptors for Euro 3 and 4 each!

This adaptor remain in my travel kit as it is suitable for most countries, even if I do not travel very often these days!

Certainly worth making a visit to a Flea Market near you if you want to get what you really need at a price that you can afford! (P.S. Annikki also got some good buys on this trip, including a flaming red coat!)
