Oh my gosh you guys, I’m so excited about today’s Affordable Friday post because I am sharing three pairs of jeans that I absolutely love that are all under $20! I know some of you are going to come to this post and be skeptical. I would be too! It almost seems impossible that you could get a quality pair of jeans for under $20. But I promise you, you can! Don’t get me wrong, I had to order a lot of jeans that weren’t great in order to find these three pairs that are absolutely amazing!
Also, I am styling all three pairs with this white tee with a ruffle hem (it comes in a two pack for only $13. So each tee is $6.50. Yay!) and these leopard flats for only $29. These flats are so on trend and really comfortable. I didn’t need to break them in at all. They were instantly comfy. Also, I highly recommend checking out Walmart’s September Edit here for a bunch for leopard print pieces that are so cute for fall! Ok, let’s get into these jeans!
$9 Jeans
I wanted to start with these $9 jeans because I posted about them over a month ago so I thought it would be cool if people who bought them after that blog post could comment here and tell me what they think of them! And really tell all of you that are reading, too! Here’s my review on these jeans. It blows my mind that they were only $9! They are comfortable and extremely flattering! Truly. When I put this dark wash of jeans on, I feel like I look 5 to 10 pounds slimmer. That’s a great thing about a pair of dark wash jeans. They really are slimming.

The only reason these jeans aren’t my very favorite of the three pairs I’m talking about in this post is because they aren’t high waisted. For me, high-waisted jeans are the best thing since leopard loafers. Ha! Honestly, I barely even wear jeans if they aren’t high-waisted these days. But that mostly changed for me after I had children. My lower tummy is just not the same and having it covered just makes me feel more secure and confident. But if you like a mid-rise or even lower rise jeans then these are so great! And I will say, even though they don’t have the high-waist I still wear them pretty often. Just because they are so flattering. And like I mentioned, you cannot beat the price! Heck, just don’t order your morning latte two days in a row and these jeans are paid for.
And make sure to check out the reviews on Walmart’s site. There are over 800 reviews of these jeans they they are almost ALL positive! I’m wearing a size 11 FYI and I’m normally as size 28 for reference.

$12 Jeggings
Jeggings are such a great item to have in your closet for fall. As I’m sure many of you know, fitted knee-high or over the knee boots are all over bloggers sites when styling fall boots. Sometimes those boots have some room in them, but sometimes they don’t! Or you just want a really sleek look from the boot up against the “jean” – this is where jeggings are key!

Plus, they are just ridiculously comfortable. They are called jeggings because they feel like leggings (so comfy!) but look like jeans! I mean, what could be better?! Ha! It’s the elevated yoga pant! Ha!
And I truly love this $12 pair. If you can afford it, get both the $17 jeans (that I’m about to talk about below) and the jeggings. Cause you’ll want both for different looks this fall. These jeggings are also high-waisted so they keep everything in.
I also love to wear them with these $20 black boots that I got from Walmart. They look JUST like an $80 pair I have with heel and they are the exact quality for a forth of the price. I love the tie in the back because it holds them up on your leg. But they also have stretch to fit different calf shapes. This photo is a sneak peak from an upcoming Affordable Friday post!

$17 Jeans
Option 1 : Blue Jean
I saved my favorite for last! I posted about these jeans a few days ago when talking about it my favorite pair of fall boots and I can’t even tell you how many messages and DM’s I got from you guys telling me how much you love them! Some of you ordered them and got them in the mail pretty much the next day and others ordered and picked up right in store. But the great thing about Walmart is that you can easily order online and pick up the items in store same day. And they also have super fast shipping on so many other items! Anyway, I’m writing about these jeans last because they are my favorite! I wear them all the time! In fact, if you watch me on the show I work, on Home and Family, today I’m actually talking about these jeans in one of my segments where we are all discussing our favorite items for fall.

So needless to say, I am absolutely crazy about them! And I really couldn’t rave about them more! I got a size 11 and I’m normally a size 28 in jeans for reference. And they fit perfectly. I chose the size 11 based on the size guide on Walmart’s website. I love that they have the distressing around the knees and the high-waist is an absolute must for me!

In fact, these jeans may look familiar to you guys because they are a dupe for a pair that are over $200! My girlfriend came over the other day and we thought we were wearing the same jeans until we realized hers were the $200 designer pair and mine were the $17 pair that looked just as good, and in my opinion even better!
You guys know I talk about a lot of clothes on my blog and I truly do love them all. But this is honestly in my top five items I’ve ever written about! And for sure my favorite item so far this month!

They also look so great with a pair of knee high boots as you can see in the photo below! So great for fall!
Option 2 : Black Jean
They also come in black!! Which are so great and will be ever better once we get closer to winter months. They are also only $17 and fit exactly the same as the blue jean option! I highly recommend getting both pairs if you can afford it!

You can also pair any of these jeans with these super adorable slip on sneakers! I’ve blogged about them before, but wanted to mention them here again because I have been getting so much wear out of them. They are only $19! I love them because they are so easy to throw on when taking Molly to school or running an errand!

There you have it! I seriously love all of these and highly recommend them! Which is your favorite pair? Do you have any of them already? I can’t wait to hear what you think of them! And thank you Walmart for being a sponsor of AliManno.com!
Love you Ali. You have a beautiful family. I live in Fairhope Alabama. I’m a huge fan of home and family I watch it every day when I’m home if I’m not home I record it. I love the fact that this Friday featured affordable jeans, boots, flats, and tees from Walmart that was surprising to me. I can afford that look and Wal-Mart is just around corner. Thank you for the inspiration.
This makes me very happy! Hope you love what you got!
Not a big fan of distressed jeans….I wouldn’t buy them even if they were $2.00!!!!!! Personally, they look sloppy! 😅
Just bought the light tint version of the ripped jeans. I hope they fit, they are so cute. 🙂
Yay! Please come back and let me know what you think when you get them!!!!!
Ali, Thank you so very much for sharing these clothing items! I just saw you on the H&F show and I love your blog! I am ordering these items right now.
Yay! I am SO glad you saw me talk about these jeans on Home and Family and then came over to my blog! That makes me so happy!
Leopard flats are already out of stock 😔
I was too late, too.
Ali!!! I read your blog all the time, for all the fashion and mommy inspo and relatable-ness. I’ve never actually bought anything but I remembered these $17 pair of jeans you posted about when I happened to be at Walmart looking at Halloween decor. I tried them on in store and have worn them out to the Jo Bros concert (My girls and I may have been the only 30 year olds there) 😂 But OMG, I’m honestly in shock with how comfortable and cute they are! My friends didn’t believe me that they were from Walmart. Thank you so much, keep all the affordable and easy to purchase posts coming 🙌🏼
Is there any way to NOT get next day delivery on Walmart’s site? I went to get the jeggings and I only had the option of next day delivery which adds $6 to the pair, so you’re actually paying a lot more for them!
Yes!!! Toggle the “next day delivery” button at top of your screen. That turns it off!
What size did you get in the shirt? Reviews saying it runs big, did you think that as well? I’m 5’7 so nervous to size down due to length! Thanks!
Yes!!! I meant to write that in copy. It runs big! Size down. I’m normally a medium and I got small.
Thank you!!
Where is your front door wreath from??
It’s from Etsy. I can’t remember shop name but let me try to find out!
Hi Ali! I loved the jeans so I went and bought them today. They are a bit snug on me so I was wondering if they stretch when wearing?
Thanks!
Are these available in canada?
Omg after your stories I grabbed my girls and went to walmart and snagged these jeans in the dark rinse(only color left in my size)…I am shocked at how comfy they are!!! I wish the black was still in stock! Thanks for always sharing adorable finds!!!
I LOVE your Affordable Friday posts!! I am constantly clicking the links to check them out. I currently have the ruffled shirts in my cart to check out 🙂 I also bought the Jean Jacket when you posted about it. It fits great and I got to go down 2 sizes in it!!! Thanks for all your recommendations!! I enjoy reading your blog and seeing all your insta stories about you and your adorable family!
I love, love, love the blue distressed jeans! They are sooo comfy! I am usually a size 8 in women’s sizes but went with the 11 in junior sizes.
Ali- where did you get that cute hardside suitcase
Ali – Are these juniors sizes? Are they roomy enough for us with mom hips and thighs?
Man! Those shirts are too cute but sold out. I have been looking for a basic tee!!
I am just reading your posts for the first time! I really hope I can find the Jean’s you listed at my Walmart. I want them in every color!! They look so good on you! Only problem is they have limited stock in my Walmarts and they aren’t available for delivery. The good news is they are only $4!! How often do you post about clothing? I always thought you wore the BEST clothes so thank you for sharing with your fans❤
Love, love all that you talk about and share with us. The affordable clothing is a must with what we are facing during this pandemic. You have ALWAYS been my favorite bachelorette EVER. I’m a grandma and still love following you! Thanks for the kindness 😘
In quick, challenges for the seated row embrace varying
the weights, the number of repetitions, or the timing of your sets.
Allow for 24-hours of rest time between varied challenges to reduce
back the chance of damage and pressure. This variation works the lats and rhomboids,
similar to seated rows on a machine.
Other ways to avoid damage are to keep your knees slightly bent throughout
whereas keeping your back neutrally aligned. Doing the train slowly and with intent will garner far more positive aspects in the long term than chasing rep counts and weight numbers.
In phrases of volume, stick to 8 to 12 reps of two to 3 sets at the beginning.
You should not lean forward an extreme quantity of at the backside of the movement or lean back
excessively at the prime. Utilizing momentum by swinging your torso back and forth removes pressure from your goal muscles and places it on your secondary muscle groups.
At this point, I should handle the elephant within the room — the usage of extreme leverage.
Many lifters let their egos get the higher of
them whereas performing this train and stack extra weight on the cable than they can carry with the
correct kind. Scapular pull-ups are an excellent drill for helping you grasp pull-ups,
and they’re also A+ for hitting your rhomboids.
This cable row variation also ensures that ALL of the focus is on your again because your
legs and core aren’t taking much warmth right here.
So now that you understand the fundamental moves of a standing cable row, you’ll have the ability to probably
already see that this move is MORE than only a again train. 9) Then, slowly return to the starting place, permitting your arms and shoulders to stretch ahead.
Every train different will target your muscular tissues from a barely totally different angle.
Change up your workout routines periodically to maintain your muscle tissue challenged and proceed your energy gains.
Couple this with having a flat belly, and touching
the barbell to your stomach might be a really completely different ordeal than it’s
for a short-armed person with a thick torso. In barbell
rows, you typically row the barbell toward your stomach or
low chest. If you have been to change to an underhand grip, also referred
to as Yates rows, you switch extra of the work to your biceps, away out of your higher
again. The barbell row is also called the bent-over row, which refers again to
the bent-over position you maintain all through the exercise.
A place for for many who imagine that correct food
regimen and intense coaching are all you want to build an incredible
physique. Focus On NANBF/IPE, INBF/WNBF, OCB, ABA,
INBA/PNBA, and IFPA bodybuilding, noncompetitive bodybuilding, diets for
the natural lifters, exercise routines and more! All are welcome
here however this sub is intended for intermediate to
superior lifters, we ask that newbies make the most of the weekly and day by day dialogue threads
in your wants.
It’s not nearly pulling the cable to your chest –
it’s about maximizing every rep to construct serious muscle.
The cable row is an awesome train for anybody seeking to develop back muscle and strength.
Since the exercise is one that can be performed at practically any point of a
workout, there’s a large range for its typical rep/set scheme.
That said, a common suggestion for the train could be to carry
out 2-5 reps of 6-12 repetitions. Inverted rows can be performed
utilizing a barbell (on a rack) or a TRX suspension system,
and they are often modified to be easier or tougher depending on the individual’s strength degree.
The lats contribute to several other motions, corresponding to throwing a baseball and swinging a golf membership.
Engaging arms greater than the back or lats occurs most often when lifting an extreme quantity of weight and/or
if missing proper kind. The extra you pull your higher arms behind your
midline during concentrics, the higher the entrance delt engagement shall be.
Alternatively, you can restrict your shoulder engagement in this train by limiting your vary of motion.
Brace your core and get into the starting place by extending
your knees and transferring away from the pulley.
It’s time to suppose extra about your rhomboids—and no, we’re not speaking
geometry. Your rhomboids are a small but
important group of upper-back muscles that don’t get as much love as greater,
buzzier ones (with catchy nicknames) like the lats or traps.
Once you attain full contraction on the prime of the motion pause briefly before
slowly lowering yourself again down into starting
position. Super setting and alternating between grips is an superior technique.
Start utilizing the hardest grip (wide, overhand) and work your way all the way down to the simplest grip
(narrow, underhand). The Essential Information for MenThe Manual is easy — we present males how to reside a life that’s extra engaged.
As our name implies, we provide a set of professional guides on a wide range of topics,
together with fashion, meals, drink, travel, and grooming.
Limit their involvement and lift the weight together with your back muscular
tissues instead. If biceps are fatigued while performing seated cable rows,
method may need adjusting. Make certain the motion starts and ends with retraction and protraction of shoulder blades somewhat than pulling with the arms.
Nonetheless, the former requires you to remain bent over,
which engages your core stabilizer, whereas there might be fixed rigidity in your again all through the range of movement on the latter.
The seated impartial grip row effectively targets the rhomboids and mid-back muscular
tissues by letting you tuck in your elbows as you row.
Keep Away From gripping the bar too tightly, and focus on squeezing the
muscles in your shoulders. Cable rows are categorized as a compound train however are quite easy for most individuals to learn compared to other again workout routines, such as the barbell row.
Beginners ought to start with a cable row whereas rising power or working towards free weights.
Always keep a slight knee bend whereas performing the seated cable row.
Locking out legs fully can place extreme strain on knee joints, which is pointless.
Contemplate slowing down your rep tempo when you don’t really feel your lats hearth up while performing this train.
If you want your lats to work as successfully as attainable, you have
to present them with a stable platform. When you use a standard grip on the bar grip attachment or dumbbells, maintain your
wrists barely prolonged all through the movement. Just just like the short head, the lengthy head of the biceps is closely involved in elbow flexion. This is if you
bend the elbow, bringing the deal with closer to your torso, engaging the lengthy head intensely.
Throughout Seated Cable Rows, as you pull the cable in the course of your torso,
the biceps contract to flex the elbow. Situated on the inside upper portion of
your upper arm, this muscle contributes considerably to the general measurement
and peak of your biceps.
The chest supported row is a superb exercise
to focus on the most important muscular tissues of the upper physique while also participating your
core and stabilizing muscle tissue. Now let’s check out
some of the advantages that come from performing this train frequently.
Cable rows are a compound train that primarily works the back muscles, such as the latissimus dorsi and rhomboids.
Developed lats can add width to your frame and provide the coveted cobra back.
A V-taper can improve your physique’s aesthetics by making your shoulders look wider and your waist tighter.
The rhomboid muscle allows your arms to work along with
your chest, again, and torso, Logan explains.
Specifically, it could possibly pull your shoulder blades
up and in in path of your backbone, enable them to rotate, and keep them pulled in tight
against the back of your rib cage. “A motion the rhomboid muscular tissues are primarily used for is pulling your arms and shoulders backward (retraction),” Gallucci says.
Face pulls goal your whole higher back, i.e., the mid-traps, rhomboids,
AND posterior deltoids. They’re a superb postural train and one that might
add some thickness to your upper again muscle tissue.
The grip on the bar is wider than shoulder width, which might give consideration to figuring
out the trapezius and latissimus dorsi muscle tissue.
When performing a seated row, the muscle tissue concerned include the
mirror muscle tissue in your arms and back. This consists of the biceps brachii, trapezius, latissimus dorsi, and rhomboids, all musicals situated within the back and arms.
Like all workout routines, use good correct seated row kind to be safe and get the
simplest exercise. Whether Or Not you’re utilizing a seated row machine
with handles or a cable row machine, the widespread Seated Row Mistakes are
very similar. It’s essential to maintain up correct kind
and keep the core engaged, back relaxed, and put most of the work into the arms.
There’s nothing complicated about this motion, which is great
as a outcome of it’s effective and doesn’t require much setup.
When comparing the machine excessive row to those
two workout routines, they will look a bit similar but not fairly.
As mentioned earlier than, the high row sits in the midst of these and in a
way, gets one of the best of both worlds. The DB row will emphasize the lats slightly, and you’ll want to use a
impartial (palms in) grip. They are also an effective approach to teach the physique the means
to fire the lats and enhance the thoughts muscle connection. Keep in control always and don’t let the drive of the load transfer you.
The dumbbell row is a unilateral (one-sided) rowing exercise, versus the barbell row which is bilateral
(two-sided). This typically permits for higher give consideration to the muscle tissue of each aspect, but
with the added cost that you have to carry out twice as many sets.
The standing single arm cable row works your lats, traps,
rhomboids, and deltoid muscular tissues. You’ll find that
you’ll most likely have the power to raise means LESS than with
a seated cable row, and that’s because you don’t
have the support of your legs in opposition to the
footstands. As An Alternative, your legs are actually working,
and your body has much less resistance towards the burden during a standing cable
row.
From here, pull up on the barbell until it reaches chest level while preserving
your elbows near your body. Slowly decrease again down to starting
position and repeat for desired variety of
reps. The secondary muscular tissues worked when performing chest supported rows embody the rhomboids,
trapezius, teres major, and posterior deltoids.
Flaring elbows will have interaction more of the traps and upper back, usually
occurring when lifting too much weight. This article will detail the
muscles worked by the cable row, how to perform the motion with proper form, and
some of its primary benefits. Depending in your peak, you might need to tweak your angle
of pull to focus in your higher again musculature. Taller individuals
ought to pull the bar to the bottom of their rib cage
to bias their traps, rhomboids, and rear deltoids.
Latissimus dorsi, popularly often recognized as the lats, are the first goal muscle of the seated
cable row.
Decrease the weights back to the beginning position and repeat for desired
reps. This train is a perfect various for those looking to add variation to
their shoulder routine. Bent over rear delt raises are an efficient method to goal most of the similar muscular tissues
as chest supported rows without utilizing any equipment at all.
Lat pulldowns are a great various to chest supported rows for concentrating
on the identical muscle tissue. This train is performed by sitting at a
cable machine and gripping the bar with an overhand grip, barely wider than shoulder-width apart.
With your elbows bent and tucked near your sides, slowly convey the bar
down till it reaches chin stage whereas squeezing your shoulder
blades collectively.
The exercise will doubtless be the second or final row variation carried out and will depart you with a sick pump afterwards.
The range of movement and constant pressure offered by the cable pulley machine also allows you to get
a fantastic pump – one other bonus of this fantastic exercise.
The seated cable row, together with its several variations, offers a
fantastic way to get a ridiculously jacked back.
The lat pulldown is one of the most popular back workouts carried out in the gym—and rightfully so.
It has the added benefit of not hitting the biceps or triceps too exhausting,
so that you don’t have to fret about them gassing out before you really hit
your lats. And having extra control over the burden will permit you
to go slower and more steadily.
