Designer jeans
A $665 price tag on Gucci jeans and $225 for 7’s proves some shoppers are willing to go to great lengths for fashion. But a good share of the cost for top brands is sunk into marketing. According to The Wall Street Journal, it costs about $50 to make True Religion’s best-selling jeans, Super T Jeans, but the wholesale price reaches $152 and the average retail price is inflated to $335. To save, stay away from companies where you pay for the brand name — if the fit is right, the label won’t matter.
