The weather is finally warming up around here, and my kids were in need of some summer clothes. We did a little summer clothes shopping in our garage. OK, so we really didn’t go “shopping”, but we did go through the bins to see what we had for summer. I have mentioned before that I buy our families clothes “off season”, and it saves us tons of money.
We went to the garage and grabbed the bins, I have a separate bin for each child. All of the clothes in the bins are items that I bought at the end of the season last year. I went through each bin and took out the items that would fit my kids this summer.
These are the items I had for my youngest son, he already has several other short sleeve shirts and swim trunks, so I won’t need to get him anything else for summer. All of these items were at least 75% off. The sandals were “hand-me-downs” from my nephew. Hand-me-downs are another great way to save lots of money on clothing.
The benefit to shopping ahead of time, means you can buy clothing when it is marked down and it saves you from having to pay full price for your clothing. I have a rule that anything I buy ahead of time has to be at least 75% off. Lots of the items I buy ahead are actually 90% off. That is a huge savings on the clothing budget.
I would love to hear what you do to save yourself money on clothing.
