I have yet to pay more than $30 for jeans, and they've all held up for years. Washing all my clothes with cold water, gentle cycle, and 1/2 the "recommended" detergent probably help with wear and tear.
Oddly enough, I've found that the few designer items I've bought (Gap, Ann Taylor) have fallen apart much faster than the Target/Old Navy level clothes. *shrug* Seems like you're paying for the label, not the quality.
