My DD and her fiance came up for dinner last weekend. He was wearing
a pair of nice shoes they found at Goodwill for $25... the shoes were
virtually unworn and fit him perfectly. I can't remember the brand
name, but they told me it sells for $300 retail. I was impressed. Of
course, I'd never heard of the brand either. DD works in a place
where the girls bring "cheap" purses to work... $500 is considered
cheap. Yeah, two zeros. They call themselves "purse whores".
