I say return the pants and buy them at the cheaper price. If the shipping cost for returns is a lot, then just keep them. I always buy clothes when they’re on the sale rack and obviously the last item of the kind left in the store. It’s a good way to know I’m getting a deal. Otherwise, if I really want something, I suck it up and buy it at full price.

I first wrote: “I would return the pants you bought and purchase the pants again online at the cheaper price.” But it seems you did it already. I’m glad you resisted the urge to buy more!

Thanks for the comments. I took your advice and returned the pants and bought new ones online. I even refrained from buying an additional pair, which I initially considered doing with the money I saved.

No brainer – get the difference…no matter what it takes. Do not let them take advantage of our natural laziness.

I would say get the money. it’s $15 that you can spend elsewhere.

If it were me, I would return them and then buy them again online at the cheaper price. If it were just $5 or so, I’d say, don’t even bother. But $15 bucks is a big enough difference — and I’m usually very lazy about stuff like that!

Buy two pairs of the cheaper cords, so you can also save on shipping. Then return the others to the store. You don’t want to miss out in case they run out of your size/color when go to reorder online.
