Pear shapes: Where to buy pants?

I'm down to ONE pair of pants and winter is coming. I always have such a hard time finding pants because they're either too tight at the hips or gapping at waist. I'm a size 6-8. I'd just like a pair of normal, bootcut, NOT skinny leg pants, just for the house and errands. Help please!

I have good luck at New York & Company.  Sometimes, I can also find things at Kohl's.

Are you looking for jeans?  I  had good luck with NY&Co's trouser cut pants last year.  I bought a pair of ON's sweetheart jeans this year and they're ok.

Any kind of pants ... I'd like to have a least 1 pair of jeans and 1 non-jean casual pant.

I found a really cool website the other day called myshape.com. Its free but It takes a while to set up because you go in and enter all of your measurements. It then recommends clothing based on your body type and style. I haven't ordered anything yet but I really liked the suggestions it had. Reminds me of WHat Not To Wear

Have you tried the Limited?  They now have the Cassidy style pants.  (I think that's the right one.)  Anyway, they're for the super curvy body type.  I have the same problem as you... if it fits in the hips/thighs/butt, there's a big gap in the back.  My jeans from the Limited fit well.  I also really like the Gap Long and Lean jeans.
