I find this topic interesting as a retailer because I carry very few shirts for $10 or coats/sweaters for $20 or less. The reason behind this is that I would rather carry higher quality products at a higher price point. If I was to sell shirts for $10 or coats/sweaters for $20 the quality would be extremely lacking. I have brought in a few items that would retail at that and I refused to sell it because I wouldn't even want my own dog to wear it.
Example- Chilly Dog sweaters. I have yet to find a dog sweater that is as thick as they are. Yes they are more expensive, but if someone is looking for a nice warm, thick dog sweater they are the first I tell them to buy. I wish I could have some Chilly dog sweaters for me to wear! |
It depends. Honestly, some of my favorite things of his were cheap, and they've lasted us since he was a pup. Example... Walgreens and CVS carry dog beds for $10. I have one really huge rectangle shaped one (black and white pattern), 2 little square shaped ones, and 1 oval one. They're all pretty cute too. They are
just as good as the beds I see in our specialty pet store that are over $50 AND they have lasted us almost 2 years now. So I get 4 beds for $40 that we use all over the house, rather than paying $40 or more for ONE that is of nearly the same quality. So to me, high price doesn't always equal quality. Also, the winter jacket he pretty much wore all winter through heeps and heeps of snow... was like $10 from Walmart and he will continue to wear it this winter because I haven't found much else that is that much better.
