Something for nothing

Even President Obama showed that you don't have to spend a lot of money to look good. During his inauguration, commentators talked about the fact that the first family wore clothes from J.Crew, a mid-market retailer. "They looked very good but didn't spend a lot of money on it," Brunel said.

Mid-market?! I can't imagine any truly frugal person spending $96 for a pair of jeans (oh, my bad, they're on sale for $76...sheesh!).
