Adjusted for inflation, clothing has fallen in price by 66.8% over the last 20 years What's gone UP the most, I wonder... Since 1986, the cost of college tuition in the United States has risen by 498%.

I've started buying my shoes on Amazon. They're generally much cheaper than the brick and mortars. I just make sure I buy a pair with the free return in case they don't fit.

well, i will disagree in terms of quality ..... the quality of clothing has suffered DRAMATICALLY... even high end designer goods...i've seen shirts, dresses, etc from designers at stores like saks and neiman and the workmanship is shoddy, materials can be thin, lacking body....yes there are still ultra high end clothes that have finished seams and good quality, but the price is beyond prohibitive...the decline in higher end clothing has been dramatic over the last decade....the cheap stuff? fuggaboutit
