I recall spending $86 on a pair of Gap jeans in 1992. It was a lot of money back then, I was 15 and had no job. Checking out the Gap site, a pair of new Jeans today cost $99 CDN.


Same experience here, back in 90s my decent leather branded sneakers (Adidas/Nike) could cost easily in my country like 1/4th of minimum wage, now you can buy same brands similar quality models for like 1/12th of minimum wage, so these branded sneakers are much more accessible. Let alone novels for kids, noname brands cost maybe 20-30% less, but the difference is actually just few euros so not really worth buying noname for kids.


It can be hard to determine if they’re really “the same” as many items have changed to keep similar price points. I know there’s bowling about Levis.
