"Leggings for the whole body" almost describes the "hooker chic" trio in front of me at the Whole Foods check-out line.… except that very little of the obviously "high mileage" bodies was actually covered.

I hate to patronize the looters at Whole Foods, but there are just some healthy foods that are unavailable elsewhere in Phoenix. Sprouts isn't even close.

Try Asian market. You will probably most of the "healthy good" fresh and 1/3 of price 

Yeah, wearing a mid-Century American style suit may look "trad" but it will bring unwanted attention if you're wearing it grocery shopping.

I do think some of the most well made clothing is being made in Asia. The jeans I currently have were made in China, but they are made by a Chinese brand which doesn't have any presence outside of China, not by a western brand that happens to manufacture in China. The quality:price ratio absolutely blows away any western name brand.

Well yea since the skilled factory workers work 13 hrs a day and get paid for $250 a month

I travel according to my dear Grandmother's advice: "Take half as much clothing and twice as much money," so for my recent two months in Asia I brought 1 pair of long pants figuring to buy more "in-country."  Ooooo whee… good luck! There were very limited choices in Men's American Size L. I ended up buying for myself those custom jeans I mentioned and one white linen shirt. Inexpensive laundry every other day did the trick.  There was no shortage of Size S for my wife and daughter. I bought some gorgeous silk outfits for them.

25 years or so ago, there was an East Coast clothing firm that was going through bankruptcy and was selling everything they had online via auction.  The place was called ‘Atlantic Rancher.’ Mind you, eBay wasn’t even much of a thing yet, and so forth, so there wasn’t a lot of competing bids.  I knew nothing about them, but I picked up some woolen sweaters (sort of like military style) and some shirts.  These sweaters were normally selling for like $350 each (in late 90’s dollars), and I ended up picking up two for like $75 each.  These sweaters turned out to be some of the best-made sweaters I’ve ever purchased.  How good?  I still wear each of them today.  I dry clean them maybe once every two years.

The point in providing this anecdote is that sometimes you do get what you pay for, so it sometimes wise to search out quality clothing manufacturers, pay the extra $$, and get something “conservative” that doesn’t go out of style, and you’ll have something that’ll last a long, long time.

Similar to a lot of things of high quality, pay once, cry once.
