I'm probably in the minority but I never really argued over the cost of name brand clothes or other items. I said this is your clothing budget for this time and you can buy what you think you will need. If you don't buy underwear to have money to buy the expensive jeans, tops, shoes then you will go underless. I didn't stress over it or listen to whining about not having good socks when it got cold. I didn't worry about cold feet, it was their cold feet but I told them how spiffy they looked in that $100 name brand hoody. LOL.
