I'm in a chino rut. Please help me out.

For several years, I've amassed a stockpile of chinos from basically two sources: J.Crew and Banana Republic (bananaland as I call it). Sure, I have the odd Victorinox chino as well as some other random pants, but my closet is largely comprised of these two brands.

While these are good, I want to branch out into comparably-priced but better/different chino fare. I'm a broke student, after all, so I don't really want to spend $120 on a single pair of pants (heck, I've never even paid the retail $60+ for a pair of chinos from bananaland or J.Crew).

Where should I look for my next pair of chinos?
