AE is pretty much the least expensive store in that segment (without dropping to the level of aeropostale and less expensive dept stores) with the exception of the gap. I don't think you'll find much else in that price range.
AE has been skewing towards a younger market, and i'm getting older... don't go in their often anymore.
hollister is nice... but also younger and more expensive.
abercrombie... i don't shop there on principle
j crew... nice stuff,expensive
gap... i like the gap, i don't care what people say.
banana republic... top notch clothing, high prices
express... often too metrosexual for my tastes
pac sun... younger/skater stuff, but if you look closely they'll have a few items that might be in your target range

If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
