i buy my jeans at a grocery store and i'm not ashamed to admit it.
I don't have a hot bod (hardly!), a great ass (nope!) or anything that would make me look fly in a pair of jeans. But I love my jeans. It's a rare thing, I know. Before I headed off to visit my parents a few weeks ago, I bought a new pair of jeans from the Gap. They were okay. They were on sale ($49) and they were pretty decent. But then when I was in Ontario, I stopped off at Joe and bought my dream jeans....the kind I always buy when I'm in town visiting my parents. Joe is located in a grocery store. Yes, I buy dream jeans ($19!!) at a friggin' grocery. While there, I also bought a pair of awesome pj pants ($4), a nice t-shirt ($3) and a bottle of olive oil. I'm sure this grocery store exists in Vancouver, but I don't live close to one and I have no reason to go (other than, making my once-a-year stop to buy another pair of jeans). That's me above in Europe wearing my nineteen dollar jeans.Oh, and I updated my March hit list to the right!

That's great! And I find it particularly amusing because the current $200-per-pair jeans brand of choice among the stylish here in Los Angeles is *Joe's* Jeans.
I've long suspected that my dream jeans are the ones in the workwear section of the hardware store - trouble is, no fitting room, so I haven't yet taken a chance on them.
The Superstore is among the best things about living in Halifax. I also have a pair of those jeans... I don't think they are exactly the same. After all, they cost me $30.
Ha! That's exactly where I get most of my clothes - including my favourite dark, raw, vintage style, straight leg jeans! I swear they're as awesome as some exotic Japanese pair! I also bought a bunch of super cut Mad Menish sweater dresses there. I love that I can get really classic pieces as well as trendy things - for tiny litle prices. It being at all the grocery stores here is dangerous though -walk in to buy milk, walkout with a new wardrobe...
haha, that is too funny chez shoes! yeah, i'm not sure about hardware store jeans...i did once buy some workman jeans and they weren't a great fit.
ella, that's not selling me on halifax :) joe sells a few different kinds of jeans. i can't remember what the $19 dollar jeans are called, but they are AWESOME.
yay beth, it's nice to know that joe is our little (not-so) secret! i love that it's trendy for cheap...even cheaper than H&M!
Those jeans look awesome! I have the worst time finding jeans that fit. I buy mine at the Gap, but they're pretty mediocre fit-wise (and expensive!).
I have heard so many women rave about Joe jeans purchased from the supermarket. There aren't any superstores near me so I haven't had a chance to try a pair on. I have a tiny, tiny waist and a LOT of junk in the trunk (if you know what I mean) so I'm kind of skeptical that there is any pair of jeans out there that will fit me well. I'm all for inexpensive clothes that fit well, so I might give Joe a try one day if I can convince my husband to rent a car and join me.
i don't mind saying i shop for clothes at the superstore...especially when they're cute AND cheap. i just read an article in the paper that said Joe is going to unveil a line of cosmetics!
u are rockin those jeans! who doesn't love cheap cool finds!
megan, i've never been 100% happy with gap jeans...they always seem a bit too boxy or something.
bijoux, you might be interested in the post above on custom-fit jeans!
colene, ooooh, sounds interesting!
ah shucks, lucky. thanks!
Hee, those are my favourite jeans too! And you can't beat the price. And its convenient to load up on good food and then throw in a cardigan or two...
I also love their coats!
