Buying Cheap Scrubs, Dickies Scrubs, and Lab Coats

When many people think of nursing scrubs, they think of shapeless cotton garments in blue or green.  This many have been the case twenty years ago, but today, when you buy scrubs you are spoiled for choice.  Even if you’re only in the market for cheap scrubs, in-store and online wholesalers will offer hugely discounted scrubs in durable and trendy brands like Dickies Scrubs and Urbane Scrubs.

From where did this explosion in scrub-based fashion come?  Nowadays, health care is one of the fastest growing job markets in the US.  Doctors, nurses, technicians, hospice workers, and early-childhood teachers are all being required to wear scrubs to work every day.  Since scrubs should be washed after every use all of these people need lots of scrubs.  There is a huge market for cheap scrubs.

Finding discount scrubs can be easier than you think.  Avoid the scrub shop right next to the hospital and see if any clothing wholesalers in your area offer discount scrubs.  At these discount shops it is often possible to find high-quality Dickies Scrubs or other great brands such as Cherokee or Urbane.  Sometimes these high-end scrubs have become cheap scrubs because they have a tiny imperfection in their coloration or stitching.  If you are willing to do minor repairs, there are many discount scrubs options for you.

Shopping online is another great way to get cheap scrubs.  You can go directly to the designer’s website and see if they are running any promotions, or you can go to wholesale websites.  On these websites, the inventory is constantly changing depending on what overstock they have just received.  However, if you track their inventory you will quickly see that they carry name-brand Dickies Scrubs, Grey’s Anatomy Scrubs, and Urbane Scrubs, among others.

Online retailers are also excellent for buy lab coats.  The market for laboratory coats isn’t as strong as the market for nursing scrubs because wearing a lab coat is still the exclusive province of doctors and scientists.  Most laboratory coats still come in the iconic white color and are cut to hang to mid-thigh.  If you really search, you may be able to find lab coats in different colors and cuts, but this is difficult.  It is much easier to find good deals on laboratory coats.  A lot of times they will be listed on the same wholesale websites as cheap scrubs.
