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?
