Want to Save a Buck on Black Pants?
Hey there! Ever wondered how to save money on that perfect pair of black pants? Now, this is a topic that’s often up for debate, particularly amongst us theater folks. But I’ve spent a decade searching for the ideal ones – strong yet soft, light cargo pants that do not make me appear manly. Still haven’t found the magic pair.
Why are all the durable ones shapeless and way too short? And guess what? My comfort go-to in recent years are some regular ones from Kohl’s junior department. They are not the cargo type I’d like and tend to lose color pretty swiftly.
This quandary isn’t just for us ladies. I know the guys out there, especially stage managers, are also searching for the perfect pair of black pants. So what should we do when we’re constantly wasting money on pants that don’t meet our expectations?
The answer is pretty simple: Spend wiser.
1. Online Shoppers: Don’t forget to check eBates before making a purchase. It’s like a doorway to regular shopping sites. The sweet deal is you get cash back if you reach the shopping site through them. So it’s like getting free money!
2. Dig gift card websites for direct savings. Let’s say you’ve spotted a tempting pair at JCPenny for $50. Head to Raise.com first, grab a JCPenny $50 gift card for $45. Easy-peasy 10% savings!
3. If you’re a blogger, try negotiating with the company. Propose reviewing their pants for a pair. Provide them with your stats and let them know their ideal customers are your readers – people always hunting for a perfect pair of black pants.
4. Thrifting could be an option, but maybe not the best for serious seekers. Black pants are likely a lifelong staple in your wardrobe. Even if you find that golden pair in a thrift store today, there’s no guarantee you’ll find it in a shop a year later. But for budget-conscious students looking for basics, thrift shops are a real treasure trove.
Well, are there any stage managers or theater technicians among us who have found that ideal pair of black pants? Where did you find them? Spread the word and let’s save together!
