Money Saving Tips

Save On Buying Clothes

Many of us have to many clothes just hanging around in our closets. Some were bought for the right reasons, many, are what was I thinking. Time to do some spring cleaning. Go through your woredrobe and determine what has to go. Then take to consignment shop, to get paid, or donate, to get tax write off. If you think like most, you'll say , I made all this extra room I need to go shopping.
Here are some things to keep in mind while choosing your next ensambles.
  • Buy out of season. Check out end of season sales such as, shorts and bikinis in January, or coats and sweaters in July.
  • Wear it more than once. If you wear something for a few hours hang it back up to wear aging. Don't throw it in a ball on your floor to get washed, it will only wear the more.
  • Shop at outlet stores. This you will have to be careful on because often these stores will sell a lesser quality garment in order to sell their trademake, so be aware.
  • Stay away from trendy stuff. You'll probably only wear it once.
  • Buy only what you pland to spend. I know ladies, this can be difficult at times. Stick to it...
  • Get your mother, grandmother, aunt, or anyone else to teach you the basics of sewing. If your not wearing a blouse you love because a button is missing, fix it.
  • Check other departments for certain items. Alot of time you can find merchandise cheaper in boy, or men departments. Advertisers simply think women will spend more for the same.
  • Buy with Cash. No money no honey.
  • Get online deals. Get coupons for stores you plant to shop, or buy online directly. Most have free shipping and you won't have to waste the gas to get there.
  • Just cause its on sale doesn't make it a deal. Alot of time they will makup items, give you a coupon to make you think your getting a bargain. Well your not.
  • Think and buy in colors to mix and match. Buy outfits which can be worn with a variety of combinations.
  • Shop at Consignment shops, you will be surprised at the brand names they carry at a fraction of the cost.
  • Look for those Big Red Clearance Sale signs. Especially for men. Got their team logo, has to do with fishing, or hunting. You are Golden..Men hate to shop, surprise them.
  • Swap clothes with a freind. This will only pretain to the ladies out their. With guys. Hey Butch can I borrow your shirt, click..dialtone...Where as you ladies don't have a problem with that.
  • Take an Inventory on what you do have. It may surprise you.
  • For babies cut the feet off there onesy's to get extra ware.
  • Cut jeans into shorts. Not only does it save but they are also hot
  • Try to wash as instructed by manufacturer to get better life from your garment.
  • Apply for a credit card for where you shop frequently to reap additional discounted benefits.
