I shop at Ross, a cut-price clothing chain that's primarily in the western states. I can buy last year's designer-brand dress shirt for $15, where I'd maybe have spent $50-$75 for it when it first came out. I went there a couple of weeks ago and got three pair of Levi Docker khakis and an all- silk Hawaiian shirt for under $50. And these are perfectly fine clothes. At regular price, I would have paid over $120 for the Dockers alone. I only pay full retail when I need something specific. Only brainwashed fashion slaves pay $200-plus for a utilitarian piece of clothing.

The exception is shoes. I pay top dollar for quality shoes, because my back does bad things to me if I do otherwise.
