Insightful Ramble?

So yesterday my friend and i went to the Old Navy store downtown in search of good deals.

I've always liked going to Old Navy. Their clothes are rather trendy and reasonably priced compared to other stores. What i don't like, however, is what's in their Clearance section. Most of the items in their Clearance section are for customers on the larger scale, and the ones that aren't don't look very good. For once, I'd like to buy something in this section that actually fits me without sacrificing the aesthetic element of the garment.

After sometime of picking up and putting down, we passed by their Basic section which is comprised of a variety of colored T's. Upon seeing the 6 dollar sign by every T shirt color, i remember a simpler/cheaper time when they used to be 5. Why the raise on such a simple item? Shouldn't basics be cheap so that people can afford them??? Today, I checked on their website, and for some reason the price is 5 dollars now. But still, A plain, simple T-shirt shouldn't cost 5 dollars anyway. That's like using something that could buy you a bag of chip or a can of Arizona for 5 consecutive days to buy a shirt that can be worn 1 day...

In the end, what used to be a luxury is now slowly becoming a necessity, and the once ever so important fuel to life is now probably the lesser in comparison. Just think about the price of clothes compared to the price of food, and why supermodel starve.
