Saving Guide on Clothing
Clothes can be really costly, especially
when all the fads and trends come and go
as the seasons. It is very possible to
save money when buying your clothes. You
just need to have the strategies and
tactics on how you can save your money.
Here are some tips on how to save when
buying your clothes:
Don't buy in Season clothes – different
line of clothes come every season. And
more often than not, they normally
release new clothes at very high prices
and normally they go down after a few
months. Key is just patience to wait.
For example, when winter comes, coats
and sweaters are released, however,
after a month, normal Sale or bargain
prices will now be tagged on these
clothes. If you were smart enough to
wait, you can still wear these clothes
during the remaining days of winter and
the coming fall.
• Wait for Factory Sales – when
Factories put out their sale season,
clothes can be cut from 40%-90% off the
original price. Imagine how big this
saving is! Also, going directly to the
Manufacturer’s store is a helpful tip on
getting a good deal on clothes.
• Garage Sales – these are very popular
stores and places where you can get your
clothes at really, really low prices.
Find garage sales that are put up by
families, in this way, chances of
getting quality clothes are much higher
than those garage sales that have been
put up for commercial purposes already.
However, it is important to remember and
avoid buying clothes just because the
prices are really low, you might not
even wear the clothes, and the concept
of saving is put to waste.
• Bargain – always visit your favorite
store and befriend the sales people
there. You can then ask for the possible
dates of SALE and bargain wherein you
can save at a minimum of 20% off the
original price of your desired clothes.
• Buy two different sizes and two
different colors – If you have kids, it
is very advisable to actually get two
sizes, since children grow up really
fast. Also, buying two colors to have
variety, only if the clothes are already
at their reduced rates.
• Shop Online – nowadays, there are many
clothing stores online. And, most of the
clothing lines have their own websites
where you can online shop.
Like the regular stores, the online
shops have their season for SALE and
BARGAINS as well. Just make a habit of
checking regularly your favorite
clothing line to wait for these awaited
bargains.
• Sign up for your Favorite Boutique’s
mailing list – be sure to sign up for
your favorite clothing store’s mailing
list, newsletter and catalogs. In this
way, you will be updated and be the
first one to know of the upcoming On
Sale Items and the new releases of the
trendy clothes as well.
• Coupon Codes and Coupon Cards – if
shopping online is your thing, there are
many coupon codes that can be found
online that could give you a cut off of
the original price of your favorite
online store. Some of the coupon code
sites are the www.couponcabin.com and
www.keycode.com.
All you have to do is look for the
“apparel” category code and you will be
given your choices of retailers. You can
also put the “online coupon” or “coupon
code” in your favorite search engines
such as Google and you will be given a
list of sites that could provide you
best deals for your retailers.
• In-Store Credit Cards – many boutiques
nowadays, offer in-store credit cards.
All you need to do is apply for a credit
card of your own, especially if you have
a favorite store where you frequently
buy your clothes. Normally, these credit
cards give good discounts on clothes
being sold in that particular boutique.
Also, the cardholders normally get
special coupons, birthday discounts and
other relative discounts every holiday
and often you can get a minimum of 5% up
to 15% discounts.
Another benefit of these is free
shipping, being updated of the new
arrival of clothes and rebates. However,
this tactic only is beneficial if you
plan to pay your credit card bill a day
after you have purchased the product.
This is because credit card companies
charge an awful lot of finance fees and
interests. It may not even
counterbalance the savings you
intentionally wanted in applying for the
credit card.
• Get a part-time job at your favorite
store – a lot of shoppers apply and get
part time jobs on their favorite
boutique. This will give them extra
money for their job and employee’s
discounts on the clothes being sold in
that particular store.
