I dont mind spending 80 or 90 on a good quaity sweater I know will last and looks good. Back when I dressed in 'gangster' fashion I would get cheap 2 and 3xl hoodies for 20$ each but after about 12, 13 washes they were faded, shrank like crazy, and the zippers didnt work. I literally threw them out. Now my sweaters stay looking new even after washes, you really do get what you pay for in some cases.

So stay out of the ebay thread, you miser.
I totally agree (except for the last part). My favorite store is Hollister Co. Don't get me wrong, I love to spend money, and do so pretty liberally. The only thing I was saying was that way too many people believe that by shopping at sales they are actually saving money. This is far from the case, and is part of the reason that the average family debt in the U.S. (I don't know about Canada) is around $40k. I wasn't critisizing, only stating an observation I have made.
