For what our scrubs go through and the number of washings and dryings they have to endure (compared to regular street clothes), they aren't so bad. That said, I try to strike a balance between durability and price.
For a good place to shop online, go here:

They have most major brands and have a sale section, too. I get most of my stuff from them.
I complain about this too, but (much to my annoyance), someone in the non-medical field always has some version of a comparison to "regular" work clothes and it really comes out to be about the same (if not cheaper) than every other profession. I usually try to buy basic colors of pants (black and navy blue seem to be my favorite) and coordinate them with a wide range of different print tops. Scrubs online can be cheaper, but you usually have to shop around a bit, and it can be a hassle if you have to return them because they don't fit properly or you don't like them.

Believe me, I won't have too much of a problem shopping for the above.

Just spent a ton on scrubs for the summer. Why are these things so darned expensive?It ticks me the heck off(I'd rather spend on other stuff:D).
I mean to get good stuff, you spend a ton.Does this tick you off too?
