re: #318 Bert’s House of Beef and Obdicuts

I read somewhere that tests showed that a $5 T shirt from Walmart lasted about half as long as a $10 T shirt from elsewhere, but that rather than it being a nuisance to have to replace the shirt twice as often, the consumer got to be happy about getting a “bargain” twice.
Personally, I don’t enjoy shopping for T shirts that much. My problem as a consumer is figuring out which item is reasonably priced, good quality, and is responsibly sourced. The last item is the hardest, although I’m inclined to believe quality of goods is a general indicator for decent working conditions.
