Bet you can buy a lotta cotton seed for 140 smackers.
That's a great deal, I do this with my kids Levi's and my husband's, who's wear out in about 6 months (he works construction for Century Tel phone company). I once mailed Levi's 6 pairs of his jeans that had holes in the corners of the back pockets, they mailed me 6 new pair!ktschris said:
Now I understand the posters I'm seeing at my college....the TriDelts are doing a "community service" by having a "sale" on designer jeans --all priced at $99.
I've been amazed all week with these posters--even my hs daughter (who explained the social class structure implied by purses and handbags) does not buy jeans at this price.

Childern learn from thier Mom and dad's. Look most of us agree spending $100 for a bag is fine. Most of us like to live nice and have nice things surounding us. Most give thier child money for this and that. We want SOWAL! Maybe be if we ( as in some of us ) be more miniamal, it would maybe rub off on our kids.
When I was growing up, My mother took me clothes shopping two times a year, Before school started and xmas time. I knew not to ask for anything because my mother did not buy for herself and if my mother wasnt buying her self anything, then I felt, I had No right to ask her to buy for me.. I could remember putting a pair of jeans on lay away and it took me 3 weeks to get them. The jeans were Disco Jeans and they cost $30.00 I had to have them because it was the inest Jean. Kids today think they are owned something be cause you had them. This kid bought them on her own without asking The mother for the money, that says something.

I want to add something to this: Rhinestones are very much " in ". When my daughter was a teenager,7 Jeans @ $120 were " in" I couldn't stand that with her birthday money or with Xmass money she would buy these jeans! I know I need to take some of the blame here because I use to dress her so nice a pretty when she was little. I would go shopping for myself find nothing in the store for me then I wouls go over to the 7 to 14 girls department and come home with something for her. Then after I brought it home she would tell me she didn;t like it and could I return it and give her the money? I use to get sooo sooo pissed! Now,she is almost 22 and she dresses like her age sometimes very plain. She works full time goes to college full time and shops smart.

Agree with SJ.
Those $140 jeans probably cost fifty cents to make in Guatemala or some similar place.
But my own kids have spent plenty of money (their own, which they earned at jobs) on expensive items. For them, it was electronic stuff.
The older one has grown out of that must-have attitude. This tends to happen when you have to pay rent and buy your own food.
