There is much customer disagreement on the quality of clothing at Wal-Mart. Disappearing Blog overheard a discussion between a mother and her children about it, and adds in his own two cents:
I listened to a mom arguing with her kids about clothes. Her kids wanted to shop at the Gap, and Dillards, buy shoes at Foot Locker, and jewelry at Zales. And the poor mom explained that they didn't have the money for those stores. But she could take them to Wal-mart and get them quite a bit of clothes for what they would pay for one shirt at one of those stores.The kids replied,"Wal-Mart clothes suck. Only poor people shop there."
I just smiled. The kids have a lot to learn....
The clothes look just the same, only less expensive. And the mom is right. I buy three or four outfits, for what someone would pay for a shirt or pair of socks at Dillards. Really. A shirt costs me between $60 and $70 at Dillards. I could get three shirts, a pair of shorts, a pack of new socks and underwear, and a pair of shoes for the same price at Wal-Mart.
"But they aren't the same quality, Wal-Mart stuff doesn't last as long!" you say. Well, think again. My clothes have lasted quite a while from there, and while you are still trying to stay in the latest fashion or go the opposite direction, and start your own, I am not having to buy new clothes. And they are high quality.
