Hi there,
I used to buy mine at a thrift store. They were great quality and cheap (3 dollars?). I am cheap and I don't buy new clothes , so it worked great for me. Good will has an awesome section.
Good luck!

Check out uniformadvantage.com and Allheart.com. Sometimes they have really good sales (cheaper than walmart) and decent quality scrubs

In my experience, cheap isn't necessarily the best. They usually wear out quicker. I found that paying a bit extra for scrubs means they last longer. I personally like Jockey Scrubs although the black pants seem to be made of a thinner material than my other pants. I am hoping that's just a fluke.

Tafford isn't too bad. Their brand tends to run large though. Shipping used to be free with $25 order but it's higher now. Most of the online sites will start sending regular emails with discounts after you order.

I normally scout the local uniform shops for the latest models and try them on for comfort, then i purchase them online for considerably less than the local shops price them at.

Thrift stores--you may have to frequent a few different stores to find ones that stock scrubs regularly.
I like walmart scrubs as far as the material. They weren't cheap and they were boxy unisex style, but they held up better than the ones from discount retailers.
DeeDees discounts also had cute cheap scrub sets. They're kinda like Ross. The material didn't hold up very well, but they worked.
Hand me downs are also awesome if they pass you on name brand quality scrubs like Cherokee, Grays anatomy, Or koi.

ScrubsRX.com has wink for $19 per pair and free shipping with any order. They also often have BOGO sales on other brands.

Walmart scrubs are pretty decent. I would recommend to go into the store as opposed to shopping on their website. It's hard to tell online the look and sizes, not to mention you can find some good deals in the store sometimes. On that note, the Walmart brand is Simply Basic (I believe), does anyone know where they can be purchased online?
