I absolutely love Lululemon yogawear but it is so expensive. Do you know any places that sell that line at a discount? Or any comparable yoga wear that is less expensive? —Michelle
Vancouver-based Lululemon Athletica is a popular yoga-inspired athletic apparel company that's been growing by leaps and bounds. I recently read the company is opening 25 new showrooms in June following a near tripling of net profits. There's clearly a huge demand for their trendy activewear but Michelle is not alone in her complaint: It's really expensive.

So, couple things you can do if you want to get authentic Lululemon for less: Follow the company on Twitter and fan them on Facebook. You'll be the first to hear about special sales, deals, promos and store openings in your area (if and when they happen!).
Or, opt for one of these 3 budget-friendly activewear brands instead that will help you get the Lululemon look for a lot less (click on any image to get shopping details):

2. Danskin Now for Walmart: This well-known name in fitness apparel has a line of affordable workout gear called Danskin Now available at Walmart and Walmart.com, with cute & functional pieces priced as low as $7.
3. Aerie F.I.T. by American Eagle: Work out in style without spending a fortune with Aerie F.I.T.'s affordable bras, tops, bottoms and footwear. Time to hit the gym!
Where do you shop for stylish yoga and/or workout gear on a budget?

- I love the Danskin Now for Walmart line, it runs a bit big though so size down for a slim fit.
But... the Lulu groove pants are totally worth the splurge. I've had mine for over a year now and love them. They're just the basic black but they are so well made, reversible, and stay in place/never ever ride up. Also, for whatever reason, make my butt look better than any pants I've ever tried!
Splurge on the pants and buy some cute tanks from Old Navy/Aerie! Just my $.02 for what it's worth.

I own three pairs of the Lululemon pants as well as various cheaper knockoffs, i.e. Champion's line for Target. I love, love, LOVE the Lululemons for travel. Better than wearing jeans.
I actually got some yoga pants I really like at Walgreens, but the quality there is soooo variant.
