I'm -7 in one eye and the thinner plastic to deal with that can get kinda expensive (even at Zenni) compared to the crazy deals folks with better eyesight can get...but it's still something like $70ish, compared to the $300/pair it was at brick and mortar stores.
So yeah, Zenni all the way for me.
(I also haven't found them to be junk like another poster suggested. I suppose it's true I've never had a really high end pair of glasses, whatever that comprises, but I've worn Zenni for years with no unusual breakage.)
Edit: The one downside to Zenni is there's no good way for me to find sunglass-capable frames for my small PD and high prescription. I'll see a frame and go, "That'd be cute as sunglasses!" and once I enter my info in it tells me my prescription is too strong or my PD too small. :(
