Style Poll: When was the last time you paid full price?

Pop quiz fellas:

What was the last style related item you paid full price for? 

A new shirt, suit, pair of shoes… whatever.  Tailoring doesn’t count (it’s not like your tailor has a “clearance sale” on their services.)  Neither does getting treated to a buyback from your favorite local watering hole.

With all of these new arrivals showing up carrying a full MSRP, it brings to mind: the hell is a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price really mean in this current retail sale-all-the-time culture?  There are brands that don’t run codes or sales that often, but hardly any never do.  So do you always wait for a sale or a code?  Or do you pay full price on occasion?

To the comments.  When was the last time you paid full price, and what was it for?
