4 Tips for Saving Money on Clothing

July 15, 2014 in Saving Money

Another thing that people try to cut corners on is clothing purchases. Because of tighter budgets people often forego spending money on clothing unless it is absolutely necessary. Here are some tips on how to save money on clothing.

Tips for Saving Money on Clothing

1. Shop at Discount Outlets– One way to get more bang for your clothes shopping dollars is to buy your clothes at shopping outlets. One thing to remember though is to thoroughly check them out to ensure that they are not seconds.

2. Buy Gently Used– You would be surprised at how much you can save by shopping at your local Goodwill, church sales, or even at garage sales.

3. Purchase Quality over Quantity– Before actually making a clothing purchase, it is important that you take into consideration the quality of the merchandise. Which one will give you the most value for your money? Poorly made clothing is usually not fit for wearing anywhere but in the house after a couple of washings. Keep this is mind before you spend your hard earned dollars on an item or items that will not last.

4. Check for End of Season Sales– Keep an eye on your local flyers. Many stores will have end of season sales in which you can save a bundle of money on clothing. Stores want to clear their shelves and consumers looking for bargains are often the ones that benefit from these end of season sales.

These are just a few ways that you can save money on clothing purchases. Another way you can save money on clothing is by getting some gently used clothing from relatives and friends. Using these tips on how to save money on clothing will definitely add up to more money savings for you.

I love when people say I look fabulous when really I spent maybe $20 on my entire outfit! You can still look amazing and fashionable on a budget.

    These are excellent tips. I’m always buying from the clearance rack, taking advantage of end of season sales online (because I can’t seem to find my size in store) and shopping consignment.

    Living in a warm weather state, I always check at the end of the summer and buy a lot of discounted clothing. I can pretty much wear it year round and so that works well for me.

    Great tips to save a ton of money on clothing! I’ve never really shopped much at thrift shops but I’m very fortunate to wear the same size as my daughter and she buys herself lots of clothes that I can wear too.

    I don’t shop at Thrift stores or use gently used items of clothing. However, my way of saving on clothes is the Discount Outlets and end of the season sales.
