First, the absolute cheapest place to buy them is at Kohls.

Second, you do need a Kohl’s store card, but it’s worth it because this system essentially works with all items on Kohls.

Third, you need to sign-up for their newsletter and have a little bit of patience.

Fourth, wait until Kohls sends a newsletter or mailer to “Take an extra 30% off Everything.” Additionally, make sure they are running their “Get $10 Kohls Cash for every $50 spent.”

If you’re lucky, then the specific Levi you’re looking for is already on sale and you can take an extra 30% Off. If not, then you’re still doing better than if you’re buying from Urban Outfitters, Levi’s Store, or even Levi’s Outlet store because they mostly carry irregulars. If you can buy your levi’s in $50 intervals, then you’re also maximizing your Kohl’s Cash. Remember though, you cannot use your Kohl’s Cash until a close future date. If you’re lucky though, then you can still use your Extra 30% Off, plus you’re Kohl’s Cash to buy another pair of Levi Jeans. At that point, there is no other place that can beat your deal, except for maybe Marshall, Ross, etc, but they have limited selections.

After 16 years in business, Alternative Apparel has finally opened its first retail store in Venice, CA.

“Our mentality isn’t to have one of these [stores] on every corner,” Toporek said, noting that possible upcoming retail locations could be in Atlanta, New York, Miami, Chicago and San Francisco. “By 2013, our plan is to have between five and 10 of these open.”
