So, the wall was selling shirts for insanely cheap prices and I do not understand where they are making a profit.

I got a shirt which should cost 8 dollars for 2.5 and I don't know if I can just wear them without concern.

Are cheap shirts safe to wear? Idk do they use chemicals which are bad for me? They made this insanely cheap and I don't know what gives! It all says 100% cotton and its from a trusted brand but the mystery of the price still remains. I need to know before loading up on these things.

Also, bonus question, is white coloring agent more or less harmful than other colors? (Assume the most frequently used coloring agents)

The markup on most things you buy in the store is very high, sometimes 10x or more. That, combined with the fact that product that isn't being moved is wasting money, means you'll occasionally see things marked down drastically just to get rid of it. There's a good chance that they're still making a profit on it too.
