Use this to ask for any kind of dumb mundane advice that you should be embarassed to ask about on the Internet.

Okay, I'll go first... Two for $34.99 each, or just one for $54? Special break on some jeans I might order. Thing is, 35 a pair is pretty decnt but buying two is way more than 54. Which way do I really save money? Do I really need two pairs of jeans? Am I an idiot for paying 54 for just one, though?

Help.

Do you want a second pair?

[gmku]

I have two pair already. I feel like a third is necessary to feel like I can make it through a good week without overburdening the washing machine. Four would be a bit of overkill but it's the price break that's killing me.

They are my absolute favorite jeans, btw. I'll probably wear nothing else for pants for many months.

SO I guess what I'm trying to convey is I'd feel a little overindulgent buying two, but then again I'd feel a little penny foolish for spending more than 50 on just one. They've really got me, haven't they.

[pbradley]

Yes, they have you, Neo. FREE YOUR MIND.

Imagine the two were just sitting there, $54 for one and $16 for the other. You're already going to pay $54 regardless but would you spend $16 for the other or not? They are your favorite jeans, so I would say do it.

[gmku]

If I can lay in a good supply of jeans, then freeing my mind will naturally follow. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Thank you for your wise and enabling words.

Pull a George Costanza and stick strictly to velour. Economical and comfortable, and always a big hit with the ladyfolk.
