The Bay vs Ali Express

     The idea to write this article came during my last visit to The Bay store.
I am particularly found of plaid/check/tartan trend for this season and was looking for plaid pants. There were several brands available and I tried the most balanced quality/price option. The composition of the pants was polyester/spandex/modal and the price tag $39. 

I was thinking: "What if Ali Express can beat this deal? What if there is something better for less?"
​Just out of curiosity  I wanted to find out for sure.

And sure enough, here are several offers that beat $39 + Tax. The two options shown here have good reviews from actual customers. 

BLSQR Fashion Vintage Hounds-tooth Plaid Pants Lace Patchwork has 7 positive reviews (5 star) and come at CA$16.38, free delivery. Main material - polyester. Link to pants is below:

I found more options, including wool which probably would suit Canadian winters better than polyester. These trousers are made of wool/viscose/polyester/spandex and come at CA$62.43 +Free shipping.
As usual, I check reviews from people who already purchased to avoid disappointment.
