Depends on where you shop as well as what you are shopping for.
Mills Fleet Farm (big in MN and WI but I don't think they exist down here) does sell genuine leather belts in the neighborhood of $25 - $30. They last pretty much forever. The reason I know they're genuine leather and not a cheap imitation is because after wearing one for about five years I lost a bunch of weight. Being the cheap miserly old codger that I am, I saw no point in throwing away a perfectly serviceable belt, so I cut about six inches off the end. I'm wearing it right now. Trust me, it is 100% leather.
Fleet Farm is a farm store. They do sell some gaudy stuff but for the most part it is strong, serviceable stuff designed for outdoor hardworking folks.
