Tip 50: Avoid expensive clothing brands, especially jeans
So, a pair of Levis jeans costs about $50, and a cheap pair of jeans costs around $10. What's the difference? The answer: $40. That may be simplifying things a bit, but I don't see much difference between cheap jeans and expensive jeans. The materials are the same- denim. The construction is similar. The main difference is the name on the tag. I can do without paying extra for that.
Some people get into the perceived value of expensive brands of clothing. I don't pay much attention to that anymore. If you really want to get a fancy name brand on your clothes without paying a lot, consider buying used clothes at a consignment shop, second hand store, or Goodwill store. With used clothes, it is easier to buy name brands since prices are so low.
