$20-25 for off the shelf Wranglers at the local Tar-zhey.
What? You mean there are jeans that cost more than $25 a pair?
That’s funny, I don’t remember seeing any such thing the last time I was at Wal-Mart.
The pair I am wearing currently cost me (I think) $32, and that was splurging.

I can get a new pair of Levi’s, Lee’s etc for somewhere between US$25 and $30. Real ones in a department store, not fake knock-offs. We’re talking the basic jeans style, which is what I wear, and not the latest fashion edition.
Several years ago there was a clearance sale on the Sears web site and they had carpenter jeans for $12. I bought 30, and I’m set for life in the jeans department (unless at some point I gain 50+ lbs. which is highly unlikely).
I usually get mine from LL Bean for $50 or so, including tax and shipping.
Good to know I’m not the only cheapskate in the crowd.
I paid $50 for Polo jeans back 20 or so years ago and they were without question the best jeans I ever owned, and I’m definately a jeans guy. There’s easily 15 or so pair in the closet now. I also just paid $50 for a month of free jeans passes (x3) at work in a United Way campaign. I like jeans.
Normally, I’ll get a pair of Levi 550 for about $20 - 25.
Now my wife and M-I-L (2 separate people!!!) buy those Bling Jeans and there’s no earthly telling what they pay for those.
Is the question the most I am willing to pay, or how much I pay on average? I voted based on the latter. Normally around $150 or so, but sometimes over $200, and sometimes as little as maybe $40 (I have a couple of pair of Levi 501s, but I’ve had them for years so I don’t remember what they cost). I wear jeans a lot, so I’m more than happy to pay whatever it costs for a pair that I like and fits well.
Oh yeah, the app wallpaper on my IPhone? Jeans.
Around $25-ish, BUT I’m pretty good at finding sales and coupons to get something that usually sells for higher. Gap jeans fit me best, and they’re usually around $50. Sometimes Dillard’s will have a ridiculous after-Christmas sale, and you can get $100+ pairs for around $20.
I’m sad to say that IME, the more expensive ones really do look and wear better.
I asked a similar question a few years ago: How much do jeans cost? - In My Humble Opinion - Straight Dope Message Board.
Since then, I’ve changed sizes (for the worse) and have found a new jeans supplier that tends to be $50ish regular price, $30ish on sale.
I don’t wear jeans any more. Mostly I wear skirts and dresses. I got tired of hemming up pants. Even if I buy the petite size, they are long enough for someone who has legs about half a foot longer than mine. Jeans are particularly hard to hem, what with the flat felled seams that are on most of them. With skirts and dresses, I don’t really worry about where the hemline goes…as long as it doesn’t actually drag on the ground, I’m good.
I used to live in jeans until I was about 30 or so, and then every time I looked at buying a pair, I thought about hemming them.
I’ve been buying the same brand of jeans for several years. Just ordered a pair today for $32. Riggs workwear.
Most of my jeans are priced in the $50-75 range, but I buy them on sale and pay less than that. My most “expensive” pair is a pair of Lucky jeans with an $88 MSRP than I bought for $35 at Nordstrom Rack. The most I’ve actually spent is probably around $50.
Around $60 - but that’s only because I have to buy from a plus-size women’s store, and everything gets marked up there. If I had a Target with decent plus size jeans, I would buy from there.
My good jeans are GAP jeans (from GAP outlet). The others are Old Navy.
Average of $3, at flea markets. I shop there every week, and sometimes find a pair or two in my size (36 W, 30 or 32 L–I think I’m a 31 L, which doesn’t exist.) Do I win the thread?
Ditto. I wait for sales when they go below $50. Even $26 is too damn much.
Levi’s only for me. As for over $100, any clothes that cost that much better be tailored or keep me from freezing outside in the cold.
My sense of what a decent prices for clothes is was set at EJ Korvettes about 45 years ago.
ross or marshalls for me. i’m gonna miss daffy’s.
