You could try the Lenstore.co.uk, or any of the others on quidco.
I've had a good service from Lenstore and they do a good range of toric lenses.

I can say that I have been extremely impressed with Lenstore.

I've ordered many batches of contact lenses over the years from them, and they have been been pretty much the cheapest compared to all the big name opticians, and even beating Sainsburys, ASDA, Lensway, etc.

Shipping is not as fast as I would like... typically taking 4-6 working days to arrive. And its only sent by standard delivery; once the order failed to arrive, and I had to wait 2 weeks before filing a missing claim, but they were very good and sent a new batch instead right away.

They sometimes have 5% discount codes and also a bit of quidco, so can get some extra savings.

Mango, I'm with Boots as well, as I have always used them. I have just switched to daily disposables from gas permeable and I am looking at having to pay £14 a month for 20 pairs. I don't use them every day, so that will probably give me more than I need, and apparently every 3 months you can swop the amount you order, so I may well get 10 pairs a month for 3 months after that, then swop back again. I think i'll stick with them for now, and see how it goes.
