It's damn near impossible to find bags without some greedy shit grocery companies trashy branding all over it. I still use plastic bags. Got a million of them in the weird plastic tub thing that everyone has a million of them in.
People look when I pull out some 15 year old plastic bag is amazing.

Pirate a shirt by buying the cheaper ad one and turning it inside out
You’re paying for an ad-free experience with no logo. You could always make your own ad-blocked and cover up the logo on scrape it off if you want the cheaper one with no ads.

When shirts are worn less than a dozen times on average before they get tossed in the landfill, those branded shirt companies should be paying you.
Convenient video from today about this exact topic.
With very few exceptions, I will wear a shirt until it's just not wearable anymore. If the image is really faded, I don't care much.
The only exceptions right now are two shirts I still have from my previous job that I hated. I'm mostly keeping them around in case my wife wants them for some sort of craft project.

That's what my granddad always said.
Yeah but it's a tight balancing act between selling at a higher volume vs selling at a higher price. If they're already selling high volumes of low quality, then going lower could put them in the negative, in theory. In reality there isn't enough competition for that logic to work, we buy low quality at high costs.
I actually just bought a saddlebag for my bike which was cheaper because it has a (rather inconspicuous) company logo on it.
Tbh I feel like this is sometimes the case. Whenever I've looked for really cheap basic one-color t-shirts, the lowest cost ones usually have a brand logo on them.
