Don't miss this BOGO youth eyewear deal at Sam's Club

As you prepare for the upcoming school year, you may need to get your child a new pair of glasses if they now need to wear glasses or their prescription has recently changed. New glasses can be expensive -- but a Sam's Club membership could unlock significant savings.

Sam's Club has a buy one, get one free youth prescription eyewear deal from July 26 through Aug. 20. When you buy a complete pair of youth prescription glasses at Sam's Club between those dates, you can get a second pair of prescription youth glasses (up to a $59 value) for free. This offer is available in-store only.

Since kids tend to lose or break things often, having a back-up pair of glasses is not a bad idea. You can keep more money in your checking account by getting a free pair at your local club. In addition to selling prescription glasses and contacts, Sam's Club offers vision exams for a fee.

Eye exam costs vary by location and whether you have vision insurance. But to give you an idea of pricing, a study by All About Vision found the average cost customers paid for an eye exam without insurance at Sam's Club was $61. That's an affordable price for an eye exam.

While you don't need a Sam's Club membership to schedule an eye exam at Sam's Club, you must have a membership to purchase optical products like prescription glasses and contact lenses. If your child is due for new glasses, don't miss out on this money-saving deal.
