Gear {on the cheap}

I have two favorite places to buy my running gear: Ross (or TJMaxx or any place similar) and RunningWarehouse.com.

RunningWarehouse.com is amazing for a couple reasons. #1 – FREE TWO DAY SHIPPING. This alone is fabulous. Not only is the shipping free, but it’s two day shipping. #2 Free return shipping. I never buy clothing online unless it’s free shipping to and from (or there is a local store where I can return it). RunningWarehouse has me covered. And #3 is a very recent addition but very important 90 Day No Sweat Return Policy. This new policy saved me on a recent pair of shorts I bought. I ran in them twice and spent the entire time pulling them down bc they kept riding up. When they introduced their policy, they backdated it for any purchases in the 90 days prior to the announcement. I e-mailed them and they sent me a UPS free return label and I sent the shorts back. I simply asked for store credit because I know I’ll make another purchase sometime soon anyways. I always look through their clearance gear and find great priced sale items. I told Andy if he bought the garmin off of my birthday wish list to buy it from Running Warehouse. I love them!

My other favorite place is the discount stores like Ross or TJMaxx.  My mom took me for some early birthday shopping and I loaded up on running gear at Ross the other weekend. Everything she bought me was name brand and under $10 – except for one pair of shorts that were $12.99 (and they were the 2 in 1 compression shorts plus regular shorts). The only downside is no returns if you run in something and it doesn’t fit right (unlike RunningWarehouse).
