I think I paid about $2 each for the lenses.

The in-laws bought some eclipse glasses online but they seem so flimsy. So I just went over to Acklands Grainger also and ordered up this #14 shade, were the ones you got the 2" x 4-1/4" size? They are bringing them down from Edmonton and cost is just under $2 each so I figure they are what you got.
