In my search for the ultimately low-priced but high-quality denim apparel in the internet, I drowned in blue jeans. It's not like all of us wish to buy from the designer stores all the time. If in doubt with Walmart, there's always a way to get a better bargain to get a splendid pair of jeans. Be it a classic high-waist or a trendier low-cut, your favorite jeans will always find their way around your legs and hips sooner than you expect.



The trick is to rummage through the online bargains. Unlike the traditional way of shopping where we can pick the trousers we like at the brick and mortar stores, these days we just visit them online and have our measurements input on the shopping information sheet that the store provides. There's a great wall that divides the "designer" jeans you buy in the manufacturer's store and those designer jeans that you get to pick at "sales" online. For example, I can buy Seven for all Mankind Flare Stretch at www.sevens7jeans.com as an eBay item for only $90, but if I visit Blue Genes at shopbluegenes.com, I'd probably be able to buy the same item (well, almost since I'm choosing both flared style, Havana or no Havana) at a much expensive price of $196. As you can see, the difference isn't always in the style, the cut, or the size, but on the "sale" date or the site where the jeans are sold. If you are keen in seeking these sale items, you'd most likely find them, but you need to hurry because they will only be available at a limited time.

Depending on the style though, there are still some discount shopping sites that cater to the urbanite as well as the chic and worldly lady. UrbanOutfitters.com lets you sift through a number of hip-looking denims at an extremely affordable price. Although most of the jeans in the collection aren't necessarily classic and blue, they are from top manufacturers such as Diesel, *True Religion*, Mavi Matt, Seven for all Mankind, Evisu, Kill City, and Levi's. This time around, the trendier styles cost a lot more than last-year's such as Lux Stretch Slim Jean Raw, which costs $68, and Silence & Noise Super Skinny Jean Grey, which costs $98.

Apart from Saks Fifth Avenue (www.saksfifthavenue.com), I've ranked a few top sites where jeans lovers can get the best of all worlds: quality and stylish denim at rock-bottom prices. Saks is one of the last places in the world where I think you could get desiger jeans from Marc Jacobs, Dolce and Gabbana, or Moschino at slashed prices. The best pick in the bunch could be Dolce & Gabbana's Daisy Embroidered Jeans, which is a fantastic pair of jeans that is sold at $1350.00, but is now discounted at$404.92. If this is still tough on your bank account, check out the really class-looking jeans from Moschino called the Cheap And Chic Bootcut Cotton Jeans which was priced at $395.00, but is now sold at $177.67.

My discount store list begins at Buckle.com. Here, you can literally pick your favorite Lucky Brand, Guess, and BKE jeans all at less than $100. The Guess Foxy Stretch Jean at $79 while the fancy-looking Miss Me Rhinestone Stretch Jean is sold at only $83. These jeans come in your favorite blue color along with grays, blacks, and washed-outs. Of course, they aren't anything like True Religion's destroyed style, but they fit the bill enough if you're the budget-conscious type.

Another place to get super-cheap jeans is at Land's End. This store is probably difficult to find in your area, but actually you don't have to set foot on their brick and mortar store to get yourself fitted. You can buy custom jeans for only $54. The rest of the items are sold from $24.50 to $49.50. Classic Waist, Relaxed, and Natural jeans are sold at an average of $35. SmartBargains.com gives discounts on all the items, so much that a Calvin Klein Jeans Low Rise Boot Cut Blue Jeans that is sold at a retail value of $79.00 is finally slashed to $39.99, giving you a 49% discount on the item. And if this isn't enough, I recommend you check out Chiff.com, where an archive of where the latest jeans sales are posted -- a fast find source that even gives tips and guides on how to pick your jeans in style.
