Can anyone recommend a good online source for contact lenses please?

So last night we were getting ready for bed and my wife had her head buried in her phone.
Me: "What are you doing?"
Her: "Looking for the best deal on contact lenses."
Me "Come to bed and I will look it up on my computer tomorrow."

So I have been conscripted to search online for contacts (I don't wear contacts).

I'm guessing some of you might be long tome contact users and have a website you like.

Any recommendations?

TIA

I heard Costo is pretty good. I stick with glasses myself normally

I get mine from Walmart....their "Equate" brand. One a days.

That's where I go to see my optometrist (the Walmart in Port Orange) so it's easy to keep everything coordinated. She's very good - of Greek heritage too....very beautiful - so easy on the eyes...

If she has a valid prescription then Walgreens. Good prices and quick shipping. They also run occasional sales for an additional 40% off..then stock up.

I used to use lens.com. However I've found that their 'deals' aren't anything to write home about. I could get the same price from the eye doctor and shipping with the eye doctor was free when buying in bulk. Note, sometimes with lens.com they happen to have a free shipping coupon but such was spotty at best. My insurance changed and the eye doctor would not honor it so I went to the eye center in Costco who did. While there I said, WTH, I might as well compare their pricing with lens.com.

I found Costco to be the best deal. Caveats: One needs membership, one needs to buy in bulk for the best deal, shipping is free but the order has to go to the eye center in the Costco store where you then go back and pick it up.

Even with Costco, while there was savings, it was nothing earth shattering. Something like $50 or so when buying in $600+ lots IIR.

Like Costco, some Sams Club stores have eye centers. One may check with them to see if their deal betters the online offerings like lens.com

Thanks, that is one we are looking at, also looking at Ezcontact.com (pretty much a toss up between those two.)
She needs the Bausch+lomb Ultra so we are somewhat limited, walgreen and Sam's club don't carry them (we don't have a Costco account)
