Coupon & Deal Blog

I do quite a bit of shopping at the Gap. I’m being absolutely honest when I state that probably no other store provides more “bedrock” to my wardrobe. Really. For my casual, everyday wear its perfect. The clothes I buy there always look good and it seems the ladies in my life always compliment me when I’m wearing them. They always fit well, feel well made and are comfortable. All this and the Gap isn’t outrageously expensive. I ask you, what’s not to like?

There are times when I am at other stores, looking for clothing staples that I would normally buy from Gap, and I decided to purchase elsewhere because I perceive that I just found a really good deal. Often times I get the product home and I am disappointed with something. The feel, quality or fit. I find myself saying at these times “I should have just gone to the Gap”. I’m serious, I’m not making this up. This happened just last week when I purchased some underwear from a well know big box store.

These are the undershirts I know, love and should have purchased:

Ribbed Tank

I haven’t always been a fan of the ribbed tank undershirt, but in the past five years or so I have become an utter convert. In fact, these days if I’m caught without I feel rather incomplete (for lack of a better term). These are soft and always feel right, the others I bought last week felt…well rather cheap. The ribbed tanks from Gap come in black, grey and white. You get them in packs of two for $19.50.

On the topic of essentials, here is another: the t shirt. Same basic story. I always am very happy with the basic t’s I buy at the Gap. However when I purchase elsewhere I am often not. I need to learn my lesson.

Best Crewneck

On the website, in the product description they call these the “perfect T” and I daresay it might be true. I just love these things and no other t shirt in my closet seems to compare. They come in a whole multitude of colors, with some of the colors being heavily discounted. The price range currently spans from just $3.99 to $18.00. Though let me tell you, even at full retail price these shirts are more than worth it.

Yesterday I wrote about how picky I am about the jeans I wear. It’s true, I totally am. But do you know which jeans in my closet are my all time favorites? You guessed it, the ones I bought from the Gap.

Selvage Standard Fit (rigid denim wash) jeans

I love these jeans. These are made from Japanese raw denim that are designed to form to your body. They look and feel really good and I can’t give them high enough marks. Currently on sale for $69.00!
