I firmly believe that no one should pay full price for ANYTHING!
During my personal quest toward an even more frugal lifestyle, I have learned that 90% of the time, there is a coupon, promo code, discount, sale, or clearance price that may be applied to an item; reducing it's full price. If you wait long enough for this to happen, you can reap some hefty savings.
An Item will NOT stay the same price while in circulation simply because of supply and demand. When suppliers supply too much merchandise for an item that does not equally reflect the true demand for that item, we end up with fabulous places like Overstock.com. Stores like TJ Max, for example, sell dresses at least 50% off the original ticket price.
Is the 50% off dress 50% less the quality it once was when it's price was at 100%? NO WAY!
I recently strolled through Walmart's after Christmas inventory and found everything I needed to wrap presents for next year at 75% off the original price. Sure I'll have to store it until the time I need it, but I would much rather spend a little money now and store the item VS waiting until the week before Christmas next year and have no other choice but to pay full price.
I have been using the "Save & Store" method for my clothes shopping with great results.
