Okay, so full disclosure: When I gained weight over Christmas I split two (that right . . . TWO) pairs of jeans. Not to mention the two buttons that went flying off of my work pants (I almost took out our admin assistance with projectile buttons!!!). I can live without the work pants because I have enough and its starting to get warmer so I can switch to skirts and dresses . . . the jeans however are a necessity! I only had one pair.
Anyways, I had budgeted in $100 for new jeans next week (excessive, I know, but I was going to try and get a few pairs). On Saturday my mom and I stopped at goodwill and got a pair for $7!!!! They are not brand new, but they are in better shape then

I wear jeans every day to work.

You could always add a band of colourful fabric or lace to the bottom of your jeans to make them long enough. An iron on patch should work fine inside your jeans to repair them. Just make sure to round the corners before ironing them on, it will help to keep them from lifting with washing and wearing.
Thrift stores are my favourite places to shop. I have found some great deals on clothes that way. And usually if you go near the end of season they have 50% off and bag sales that you can really get some good deals with.
Yes, love to get cheap jeans! My sister is constantly cleaning out her closet too. I really don't spend a lot of money on clothes! it is probably time to go back there and get something different. Clothing parties are fun too with your friends where you just throw everything you don't want into a pile and everyone can try things on. Its fun too!
