Find me some jeans

Hi Mumnetters,
I am in need of some new jeans. I do not wear jeans (or trousers for that matter) regularly but like to have pair in my draw just in case. I am 5'2, a size 20/22 and favour a boyfriend fit. I don't go out a lot so am unsure of the best places to find such things. I will not shop in M&S, haven't set foot in one since they fired me in January. I have tried on Primark jeans before and could not get the fit right. In My teens and early 20's I lived in Gap jeans. I am not against supermarket brands and on a fairly tight budget but would be happy to spend a little more for something that fits like a glove and will last. While not adverse to shopping online but i would like to try on before committing to purchase. Looked at some Levi's in Costco but don't know the sizing and they don't have fitting rooms. Please help me.

I'm a different size and height so might be better to wait for someone more similar, but 2 things I would try:

Go to an actual Levis shop and ask them for help. They will take one look at you and just know what will work for your body. It's impressive.

Sainsburys! Their jeans are genuinely excellent. I'm 5' 6" and regular length fits me so short might be ok on you. Order a few online to try on and return whatever doesn't work.

Sainsbury’s have a great range of styles if that’s easiest
i wear Fat Face “ Sway slim in a cropped length as I have 27’ legs
They have lots of styles and the quality is great
Levis are a minefield but the staff are helpful and honest!
I have a few pairs of women’s 501’s which are great fit and quality
