I need a new pair and I'm in the east bay. I alway get mine from lucky but since having kids, I've worn through the knees of 4 pairs of jeans. My oldest is only 2 and a half! I need to find a cheaper place to buy jeans. What store did you buy the jeans at? I need a new pair and I’m in the east bay.

Nothing better than getting to the cash register and finding out you have to pay even less than you thought you had to. Of course, I'd use it as an excuse to then go out and buy a pair of shoes... You know, with all the money I'd just saved. Nice, Lorette! Nothing better than getting to the cash register and finding out you have to pay even less than you thought you had to.

I have to brag that I found mine on the sale rack at Talbots...$17...reduced 3x. I had no idea they were that price...as the extra markdowns were not all on the tag. All I knew is that they fit and were less than $75. I also have yet to return a more expensive pair I purchased at TJ Maxx...

Sassy?! Happy to relieve your tension, but I also suggest alcohol, Brooke. That'll work well for you on days when I don't post. Goooooo A's! Me? Sassy?!

I am weakened by the siren's call of a soy-chai-no-water latte. But all those lattes eventually add up to a pair of $180 jeans. Kristal–I totally hear you on Starbucks.

The next thing I want to tackle is our cell phone bills and cable/phone. I know there must be better and cheaper plans we can be on. Yay to you, Jen!
