Budgeting for Buying Jeans Online

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Douglas Willot and on behalf of expert village, we're going to be talking about online jean shopping today. Alright, you know what jeans you want, or maybe you just kind of want to browse, but it's always good to know how much you're willing to spend. Jeans have a very very wide price range. You can buy a pair of jeans online for twenty bucks, and you can buy a pair of jeans online for five thousand bucks if you really want. The trick is to know exactly how much you want to spend before you go in. So that way you don't feel pressured to spend that extra twenty bucks, or that extra hundred bucks on a pair of jeans that you wanted in the store but you just can't find at a price you like. For instance, I knew awhile back that I wanted a pair of jeans, but I only had about fifty dollars to do it, which is more than reasonable to pay for a pair of jeans. I went into a store and I saw them there for seventy dollars. I went online and found that they were on clearance on a different site for around fifty to forty bucks. And that's how I got this pair right here. This pair right here is another pair that was more expensive. Again, you go online for it and it was about thirty dollars less for me. However, this is a pair that was cheaper in the store than it was online. You always want to be careful to look for that; if you go to the store and you see something on clearance, it may not actually be on clearance on the website. It may only be on clearance in the actual store. Often stores will mark that and say "in stores only" as opposed to online as well."
