Buffalo Pies

I read an article in TIME magazine today about how Buffalo Exchange is hip and cheap, the best thing since buttered toast, etc.

Lies.

Filthy lies.

I dont know if its because they were looking at the store in Brooklyn (where it is likely that BE would be considered frugal by comparisson) or if its just Oregon. But the Buffalo Exchanges in Portland are crap. The clothes are not even that cheap ie, old ratty t-shirt from american eagle for $12 and some brand new trendy handbags for regular hangbag prices. And furthermore, the clothes are not what I would consider trendy either. Unless you are willing to hunt around in that store for hours at a time, weeks in a row. Then you might come up with something cool - like a Banana Republic wool coat for 20 or less.
