If you saw them you could not tell the difference!
I'll wear dead man's suits!
Is that not a wise decision?

Hey, I have nothing against buying things on consignment, from an outlet or wherever. I save money wherever I can. It's a must in our household!!!! But it is silly for me to purchase cheaply made items that I will have to replace a few months later--when I could have bought quality, and my purchase would have lasted longer.
Case in point: Tennis shoes. They're a semi-annual purchase around here, for the kids. IF we buy good quality, that is. Buy a pair from Target, and they'll probably be in the trash can in 2 months.
