Stack MSE Blagged code with existing offer for spec-tacular deal

If you're on the look-out for branded glasses, you can get two from £25 if you use our MSE Blagged code MSESEP26 on top of an existing Glasses Direct* offer by 11.59pm on Thursday 10 September. The code also gets free delivery and 50% off silver, gold, or platinum lens packages, blue light and sunglasses tints.

Here's what to do:

1. Go for the Glasses Direct existing 2for1 on designer frames offer. It has a range of 2for1 frames priced from £69, where you get the cheapest free.

Once you pick your frames and select what you’ll use them for, you'll be asked to choose your lens package. If you want the absolute cheapest price, you can avoid these extras by selecting ‘Basic' for your lenses package which is at the top of the offers and marked as 'free'.

However, if add-ons such as scratch resistance, anti-UV and thinner lenses are important to you, our code also gets you 50% off the silver, gold and platinum packages including blue light options.

2. Use our code to get £44 off AND free delivery. After adding your second pair of glasses to your basket, you can either enter your prescription then and there or opt to send it later.

Then use the code MSESEP26 (if it's not already applied) at the checkout by 11.59pm on Thursday 10 September to get an extra £44 off ANY glasses where the frames cost £69+, and free delivery (normally £4.95).

Combining these offers can get you two pairs of glasses from just £25 delivered. What's more, the second pair doesn't have to be the same prescription as the first, so you could get one for yourself and one for someone else. Do note though, this deal won't work on very strong prescriptions – see 'More info' below.

The glasses can be from different brands as long as they're in the same price category, so you can get two pairs of specs from the £69 range with different brands (such as one pair of specs from Scout and another pair of specs from Aspire).

Here's what we spotted:

• Two pairs for £25 (£69 each before the code) – Aspire, Glasses Direct, Scout

• Two pairs for £35 (£79 each before the code) – Glasses Direct, The Collection

• Two pairs for £45 (£89 each before the code) – London Retro

• Two pairs for £65 (£109 each before the code) – New Balance, Polaroid

• Two pairs for £91 (£135 each before the code) – Finelight

How good is this deal?

In May, we featured a blagged Glasses Direct offer where you could get two pairs of glasses from £14 delivered, which is the strongest deal we tend to see, and only happens a couple of times a year. While this deal is two for £25, it's still competitively priced and you can get discounts on lens packages too.

Check out our cheap glasses page for other glasses deals. It can also be worth checking if you qualify for free glasses using NHS vouchers.

Barbour, AllSaints, Cat, O’Neill, Radley and Superdry

Been eye-ing up some new prescription specs or sunnies? You can get a pair for £27 delivered (normally £99) when using the MSE Blagged code MSE27 at our special SpeckyFourEyes* link. The code is only valid on the items found via our link from the following brands: Barbour, AllSaints, Cat, O’Neill, Radley and Superdry.

The deal will end at 11.59pm on Wednesday 30 September, and you'll need to enter it in the vouchers box at the 'Shopping cart - summary' page once you've chosen your frames and lenses.

Need-to-knows for getting the cheapest price

• Pick 'continue with free lenses' when asked to choose your lens package (stage five of the checkout process), as thinner or scratch-resistant lenses will cost £15 to £150 extra. To avoid other extras and keep costs down, select 'skip step & continue' until you reach the checkout.

• You can enter your prescription during the checkout process, or opt to send it later. Some frames aren't suitable for high prescriptions, so keep an eye out when choosing. Do note that only standard lenses are included in the price – you'll pay extra for bifocal or thin lenses.

• Select 'Royal Mail Standard' delivery – our code will make this option free (normally £6.99). Delivery takes 7-20 working days.

You can use the code more than once but can only use one code per item, per transaction – so you'll need to make multiple transactions if you want more than one.

SpeckyFourEyes says there are good stock levels available, but all frames are subject to availability, so they could still sell out fast if demand is high.

If you need to contact SpeckyFourEyes about your order, you can do so via this special contact page.

Plus free delivery, via code

If you go online to glasses retailer Glasses Direct* you can get 35% off when you enter the blagged code MSE33 at the checkout, until 11.59pm on Wednesday 30 September. Delivery's free with the code.

The code gets you 33% off your basket which includes all lens types, including varifocal and bifocal lenses, sunglasses tints, blue light reflecting lenses, thin lens, plus the bronze, silver, gold and platinum lens coating packages. The code is also valid on most frames, but it does exclude £9 frames. The Premium Designer range is included but the discount is capped at 20% off instead.

What's more, if you choose a pair of glasses in its 2for1 from £49 range, you'll get a second pair of frames for free (excluding Premium Designer). These don't have to be the same lens type or prescription either, so you could choose the basic lenses for a totally free pair, or choose different lens types and get 35% off those, too. 

Once you've chosen your frames and lenses, you can enter your prescription then, or opt to send it later. This offer won't work alongside any other discount codes or on items already marked down or on sale.

Your order should be shipped within seven working days, but during busy times it may take up to 14 days to arrive. 

See our Cheap Glasses page for other glasses deals.

Plus free second pair and free delivery via blagged code

If you go online to glasses retailer Glasses Direct*, you can get a pair of varifocal lens glasses from £49. Simply enter the blagged code MSEVARIFOCAL at the checkout by 11.59pm on Wednesday 30 September.

The code gets you free 'Varifocal Advanced' lenses (normally £49) when you choose a pair of frames priced at £49 or above. 

What's more, if you choose a pair of glasses in its 2for1 range, you'll get a second pair with basic lenses free (excluding Boutique). You'll only get the free varifocals on one pair. 

Here's what to do:

1. Find frames costing £49 or more. Glasses Direct has a range of frames priced from £49, and you can choose any (including Boutique frames) then click 'Select lenses'.

2. Choose 'Varifocal Advanced' lenses. You'll be given a list of five different lens options. Select 'Varifocal' and then 'Varifocal Advanced' (it says these cost £49, but once you've entered the code at checkout, this will be taken off). See 'more info' below for other lens options. 

Select 'clear' for transparent everyday glasses. If you don't want any extras, such as scratch-resistant coatings, you can avoid the extra costs by clicking on 'continue with basic lenses'.

2. Code gets £49 off, free second pair & free delivery. Once you've selected your lenses, you can either enter your prescription or opt to send it later. Then use the code MSEVARIFOCAL at the checkout by 11.59pm on Tuesday 30 June to get £49 off the varifocal lenses, a free second pair. 

If you don't need varifocals, see our Cheap Glasses page for other glasses deals.

Online code for new customers

If you're a new customer to online contact lens retailer Vision Direct*, enter the MSE Blagged code MSE11 to get 11% off everything on site. Delivery's £3.98. It can't be used with other offers.

Vision Direct may not always be the cheapest retailer, even with the code, so make sure to always do your own price comparisons.

Includes frames, lenses, anti-reflective coating and tints

You can get a complete pair of varifocal glasses for £45 at Asda Opticians*. The price includes value frames, lenses, anti-reflective coating, tints and thinner lenses (if required).

We compared prices with a number of other opticians, and found that Asda Opticians was the cheapest for varifocal glasses. Always compare prices before you buy though, as you may find a good deal at your local opticians.

See below for the prices of a complete pair of varifocal glasses elsewhere:

• Vision Express from £50

• Glasses Direct from £68

• Specsavers from £69
