If you buy new frames, you could always get new lenses put into them as your perscription changes. Any decent optical shop could order the lenses and would only need your frames for an hour or two when you need to change them.
As for cheap frames, I find that independent places are cheaper. You might want to ask around to make sure the place is ok though, there was one that competed with the one I worked for that only sold discontinued frames. You could always ask if the frames were discontinued or not. That is important in case you break a temple and need to order a part. I know Lenscrafters doesn't do that, they'll order you the entire frame when you only need a $30 part. They also marked up 2 times what the place I worked for did.
