re and everyone knows that. The easy thing to do is to just not buy designer clothes. If you are truly a money-saver at heart, you'll be able to do that. I'm not just talking about the super high fashion names that only the rich indulge in like Gucci, Prada, and Louis Vuitton. I'm talking about avoiding all brand names like Nike, Adidas, Gap, A&F, etc. Any name with a significant brand recognition will have a boost in their price to feature their logo on it. So when you buy new, buy store brand or no-name brands without their logos plastered everywhere to save money. Another way to think when buying new clothes is to consider anything that's on-sale as a regular price item. Stores have sales so frequently that if you aren't getting some sort of sale discount, then you are just getting ripped off.A better idea to follow is to buy used clothes. This way you can get those no-name clothes dirt cheap or even snag any of those high price brand name clothes for a fraction of the price. There are plenty of great thrift shops and consignment shops out there that offer great clothes. The shops that pay for used clothes are very picky with what they'll accept checking for both style and quality. They won't put anything not in fashion or anything damaged on their racks. I know a consignment shop called Plato's Closet that will have special sales from time to time where you can buy a shopping bag for $10 and whatever you can fit in the bag is yours. Nothing sounds like a better deal to me than buying clothes by volume.
There are also ways to find knock-offs and "mistake" items for less either online or at flea markets. Knock-off items like
purses are fairly prevalent so get those instead of the real thing. I mean they look the same so what does it matter to you who stitched it together. The "mistake" items are clothes with problems that are usually unnoticeable. It might be a crooked stitch or a misplaced label. No big deal.So there are plenty of ways to get clothes very cheaply out there and, if you need to, you can still be fashionable too.

does kohls count as a name brand cause thats where I buy my clothes.
ReplyDeleteNope, you're fine. The store itself is fairly cheap for new clothes. You will still be able to find some variance in price though since they do carry mid-level brands (adidas, nike, etc) along with the no-names, so you can still find cheaper alternatives within the store itself. You won't have to worry about super-expensive Gucci or Prada brands showing up.
ReplyDeleteAgain, you should still wait for sales. Kohl's has frequent sales, so don't bother shopping until they have a good promotion going.
