Poll results: Blue jeans blues
It's official. We are cheap.
We may be divas, but we're not willing to spend like them. Not even on wear-everywhere blue jeans.
Here's what the 180 voters in our most recent poll said they'd be willing to spend on a perfect pair of jeans:
- 52 percent won't spend more than $50
- 29 percent maxed out at $75
- 14 percent would fork out $150
- 9 percent said the sky's the limit
There's a reason why the Deal comes first on the Deal Divas blog. So what's the best place to score a cheap pair of jeans that hug in all the right places?

I'm 6 feet tall and curvy. I like to get my jeans at Lane Bryant. They generally cost around $50, and if you go when they give away their Real Woman dollars, you get a pretty decent deal later on as well. So it's a win-win situation!
