the skinny pants

Skinny pants from Gap Outlet — purchased for $1.20.

Did you know it is possible to buy pants for a dollar? These were actually $1.20, but that’s close enough for me. Because they’re pants. And pants don’t usually cost anywhere near $1. I found them at the Gap Outlet in Freeport, Maine. The Freeport outlets are a fun adventure. The L.L. Bean flagship store is there, and it’s the most giant outdoors shop you’ve ever experienced. All the standard outlet stores are there as well — J. Crew, Banana Republic, and Bass are a few I went in.

But the jackpot find of the day was at Gap’s sidewalk sale. It was one of those deals where everything already on clearance is an additional 40% off at the register. Sometimes this is a signal that everything still on the racks is there because nobody else wants them. But there were few enough item that I figured it couldn’t hurt to look. Lo and behold, I found a pair of black super soft skinny pants in my size — and the price tag read $1.97. I have freakishly fast math skills when it comes to percentages off (I’ve wowed my mathematician husband on a number of shopping excursions), so I quickly realized these pants, if they actually fit and looked normal, would qualify for a blog post. Success.
