Default Saving Tips - Clothing - 05-31-2008

You should Look for sales at discount outlets look for coupon this can save you money! There are huge price differences between clothing on sale at discount stores and that sold regularly at many department and specialty stores so look for them and save money! Consider purchasing previously-used clothes from Good Will, second-hand stores, or school or church thrift sales. With a little effort, you can find low-priced, high-quality used clothing items that can be worn for many years. Assess clothing in terms of quality as well as price. An inexpensive shirt or coat is a poor bargain if it wears out in less than a year. Consider fabric, stitching, washability, and other quality related factors in your selection of clothes, you should also consider using a used cloths and save few hundredth dollars a year!

I don't think that this will save money. If you do this, you come and turn up to be a miser .

We may find low priced cloths even in the stores as the first hand. So, you may look up to them.

Default Money and cloths - 05-31-2008

I prefer to wash and clean my own clothes. Its more clean and more save. My mother will angry if i never wash my own clothes. Its crazy to get scold only because of clothes.

I personally don't buy used cloths anymore and I don't want to buy used cloth because they are worthless and don't have any value at all!

I prefer to wash my own clothes : )
But I do spend quite a lot on clothes alone, which is where the discounts are great as I love to nab a lovely discount

I am not at all brand slave ... important thing for me is comfort after wear and thats why I prefer tailor made trousers instead of ready made ... and that also save my money ...

I dont have time to wash clothes thats why I use laundary ... yeah it raise my budget but think about in this manner that if I gave half an hour for wash my clothes and that save me only two to three bucks and if I use that half an hour for earning than I can earn more than that ... So I would definitely prefer laundary ...

Default buying cloths tips! - 06-03-2008

I think that buying second hand clothes won't save you that much money, Also I wash my own cloths

But the thing is if I need to buy a cloth I always go online and shop the best price and watch for a discount and coupon!

You will save a ton of money if you don't mistake wants for needs. Needs are pretty simple to identify--those items that are necessary to sustain: Shelter, food, clothing, transportation. Wants are those things that enhance or possibly improve our family life. A car is a need. Unless necessary for your business, a $40,000 Sport Utility Vehicle is a want, even if a lot of people don't see it that way. Have you ever heard (or said) "I absolutely need...?" when the actual meaning was "I really want?" This is not to suggest that you shouldn't be able to have the things you want--only that to delude yourself into believing that a want is a need--and busting your budget in the process--is a recipe for financial disaster.

I don't like used clothings because someone use those clothing and may get sick you wearing the same clothing there is big change that you became sick and you pretty much spend more money on prescription that you save on clothing, uses clothing is may be cheaper than clothing from store I say may be like $20 dollar so you won't save much.. if you stop buying a coffee in local store you pretty much will save those $20 in 10 days! easy.. money saving require effort and time!
