My goal when I shop for clothes is to buy each piece for under $20. It is a little limiting in what you can get but who cares, they're just clothes. That's funny alo. Of course as shoppers we aren't there every day so we don't have that insight and might just pop in to look for some deals. DivaJean, I definitely agree with your pricing policy.

I quickly realized the sticker on the Macy's entrance that read "Big Weekend Sale" was permanently affixed. I used to walk at the mall when I was preggers.

An example of this would be for a blouse, I refuse to pay over $20. To me, there is no reason to go above this cost. I can get a decent blouse on sale for this amount and get good use/value out of it. I prefer to buy thru secondhand resources- starting at the Rescue Mission/Salvation Army type places- where the blouse might be found for as low as a dollar, then start working my way up in regards to store prices for blouses. Once a blouse is found of the least price/acceptable quality, I am done. This being said, no one in my family is a "fashion horse." We prefer to dress simply and have o ur resources for other stuff. My principle of least cost/acceptable quality could be used for any purchase. We certainly do not get tricked into sales in this manner! (But I do play the Black Friday games every year-- I usually save a lot on routine purchases such as socks, henley style shirts, etc) The bottom line is- you need to decide what your price is for a certain item and stand by it.
