Seeking a Store for Reasonably/cheap Priced Men's Jeans, Socks, and Shirts!
Hello Ladies!
I always get such great advice, so I knew where I needed to come with my question/problem. My husband works for the city replacing water mains. Needless to say he comes home FILTHY every night. I wash and wash and sometimes his clothes just have to be tossed. I'm tired of spending a lot of money on new work jeans, socks and shirts that will just be ruined. So my question is, do any of you know of a store where I can get cheap jeans, socks, and work shirts (they can just be t-shirts for summer and long sleeved shirts in the winter)? They're just going to get dirty so he doesn't really care what they look like. Somehow his socks are the dirtiest culprits. If anyone can help I would be grateful (and so would my budget!!) Thanks Ladies!

You might want to try the half of half store in Overland park or go to Goodwill in Shawnee for work clothes.

Either Wal-mart if you dont care about the quality or there is a store on Barry Road & 169 highway called Steve and Barrys. Everthing is $10 - or at least is was the last time I was there. You might also try some of the local Goodwill stores around, you can usaully find some pretty awesome stuff in there. I get my kids' "play clothes" there which leaves more money for their school clothes. the cheapest place for socks would probably be Wal-mart - that is not something I would buy secondhand. Good luck in your search! E.

The clothes here are new but either stained from being on the racks or tried on, irregulars or missing buttons. A few times I've seen things that were beyond just tried on and looked very used. Just check them over because some of them are almost impossible to fix. I've gotten some great deals. It does take time to sort through everything. Double check their return policy, they have gotten pretty strict with it. I have seen socks there as well.

JC Penny Outlet...consistant low prices for jeans, $10 per pair, Rustler, Wrangler, etc. Socks I don't know about.
They are at 79th and Frontage road, off I-35.

Hi M.!
I'd think about maybe hitting some fall garage sales. Almost all the neighborhoods will be having "all neighborhood" ones pretty soon. I know that a few years ago I had a gentleman buy me out of t-shirts and pants. He told me he bought 5 t-shirts a week and just threw them away every night. At about 25 cents a shirt it was cheaper than trying to wash them or ruining a "good" shirt. Thrift stores might also be a place to look, especially for pants. I find great clothing items there, many still with the tags!
Good luck!

Go to your local thrift store and they sell used jeans and shirts pretty cheap since they are going to get filthy anyway. This way if they get ruined you can just toss them and save money instead of buying new.
