Random thoughts...

Just a few things to think about...

One the hottest lingerie items to hit the market are hanky panky thong-a one size fits all. This panty retails for $18 w/o tax . Upon examination of the item one can see that it is merely 100% nylon. Apparently, some damn expensive nylon as the price is probably a 250% markup. Yet I buy them and think they are the best panties I have ever worn. Go figure.






Hair care products...What justifies a pricetag of $15 for a can of foam? Again...I bought it.

I admit it, I will pay the outrageously expensive price of some items and "balk" at the cost of other. For instance, I'll pay $400 for a cell phone but not $10 for an outdoor concert in the park. I'll fork out $22 for a lipstick but not $1.29 per topping on a pizza. This can be linked to what we might perceive the benefits of that product to be. The perceived value if you will.

There has to be some point where you draw the line, for me that's denim. What is up with the cost of jeans? They are denim...not spun from the finest silks by a handmaiden locked in a secret tower in a land far away...which by the way is another story, I digress. Denim today is priced between $150-$400 for jeans with names like Seven, For all Mankind, Free People, Chip & Pepper...and they have holes intentionally put into them.





Why didn't I come up with this idea?
