Glasses within a week - where to get them cheapest? URGENT

Hello,
I need some glasses urgently for intermediate/reading. I've left the ordering a bit late and local optician (specsaves, visionxpress) told me glasses would take 7-14 days and I need them THIS WEEK at the latest.
My prescription is relatively simple and I need them for computer use so would be:-
Sph Cyl Axis
R 3.00 -0.50 100
L 4.50 -1.25 150
Lens would be 1.6 in cheapish plastic frames (not sure if I should go for 1.67 here but hope 1.6 will be OK for this prescription and not look like jam jars with lenses sticking out of the frame!)
So far the cheapest I have found is:-
Dlrectsight £45 (2-3 days delivery) or £60 (next day delivery
Specscart £50 for next day delivery
Nextdayspex, onlinesopticiansuk, shadestation, mojoglasses all are more expensive
DOES anyone know of any other opticians that could give me a cheaper price?

I think if you want them fast, then it's going to be more expensive, than if you can wait.1

https://www.selectspecs.com/express/ from about £18 including 2 day delivery - or more for next day, but that is for 1.5 lenses or an extra £12 for 1.56.
But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,Had the whole of their cash in his care.
