Agreed. Of the main high street retailers they have the best quality clothing and also good quality food. ..... In other words, there is no national chain that is above them quality-wise.

Anyone who pays full price at Old Navy, JCP, Kohl's, etc. is a mug. Our junk mail is perpetually full of 20%-50% discounts for those and similar stores. When Mrs P buys clothes for little Miss P at Kohl's she is always given more coupons for the next week. On one occasion Mrs P didn't have the coupon for that day, and when the sales assistant asked if she had one, the sales assistant said, "Never mind, I'll take 20% off for you.". :blink

I think in Bed, Bath and Beyond particularly it's very high, then everyone faffs around with those coupons and gets it down to somewhere near normal.

Well I don't/ won't be shopping in either, not so much for price and quality reasons as that I need long fittings in everything, and I have difficulty keeping a long fitting shirt tucked in, and the sleeves of non-long fitting shirts are 4"-6" short of my wrists.

Thinking about it, the competition for Primark is going to be the dollar stores, and places like Magic Mart and Ollies (which are local/regional), but I'm sure everywhere has trashy discount stores, don't they?

I have never spent more then 12 dollars on any one item at Old Navy, if its not on clearance there, I don't buy it, luckily they always have racks of clearance. Usually I spend 4 to 5 dollars on a shirt there. (I don't like their jeans.)
At the jeans store I go to go, they have non-stop sales, so again never buy anything full price there either.
Only thing I wish for is a decent shoe store.
