Ah, yes. One of the most difficult parts of cosplay, in my opinion, is the contacts. In my opinion, the wrong eye colour can ruined a perfectly good cosplay. Ex: A blue-eyed L, or perhaps a brown eyed BB. So, I assumed I wasn't the only one who was having trouble with contacts. I know that part of getting them is an eye exam, and another part is the contacts themself...but does anyone have any tips?? Like, perhaps, a good website to go to, to get contacts at a half decent price?

While contacts can make or break a cosplay (depending, really), they can also be expensive and a hassle.
If you wear glasses, contacts are a fun option in colors, or even just regular ones, but it limits things because prescriptions get expensive. If you get disposable ones, if you take good care of them, they last a lot longer than the doctor tells you. I have a six month prescription that I'm still using a year and a half later. >__> Don't waste them. Seriously.
You'll want a contact lens case to store them, and a solution to keep them clean in.
On the subject of contacts themselves. If you don't need prescriptions contacts, DON'T GET THEM.
One option people have, is having colored contacts over prescription contacts, if you really don't want to run around in glasses at the convention. A friend did tell me, however, that that can ruin your eye sight further. If you don't care, then by all means.
On the subject on non prescription contacts, however, they are VERY thin and VERY flimsy. I tried putting one in before I knew how and it was incredibly difficult. A friend of mine also spent money on getting nice colored ones, but couldn't wear them because he couldn't put them in. SO. Before you get them, make sure you can put them in.
