If you find something that fits really well and you like the look of, I would splurge and spend the extra bit of money on a pair of glasses you will regularly use and which fit comfortably. That's not to say you have to break the bank, but make sure you have a proper pair that you like.
That said, if your $40 frames fit the bill, why not get Rx lenses put in those?

I don't have coverage but my wife has a health spending account. We blew all that dough to get my regular glasses a couple months ago.
The $40 Oakley frames are old and showing wear. When I got them they were a discontinued model and were super cheap. I can't find the exact same model anywhere (but there are a few that are kind of close). I got an estimate of just under $300 to put tinted prescription lenses in those frames. That just doesn't seem smart to me.
