Do you find yourself spending a fortune on clothes? This is especially likely to be the case if you have kids and/or teenagers at home. In addition to a 6 year old, I have an almost 15 year old boy and an 18 year old girl, and let me tell you, teenagers cost a fortune in the clothing department.
Luckily though, there are some really great ways to save money on clothes! Keeping you and your kids in quality threads isn’t nearly as painful to your pocketbook as you might think it is.
How to Save Money on Clothes
Shop Second Hand
I am all about thrifting. Like seriously, I LOVE IT! I have found some amazingly good deals at thrift shops. When shopping for my teens who want to be super stylish, we go to high end thrift shops such as Plato’s Closet, etc.
Sell Your Old Clothes
While this isn’t necessarily a way to buy clothes cheaper, selling your own clothes and pocketing extra money is a great way to add to your clothing budget. I have sold clothes via Plato’s Closet, Poshmark, and FB Marketplace.
Shop Sales
Pay attention to sales! You can often score some seriously good deals on clothes by shopping sales. There are great sales out there these days, you just have to be willing to look for them!
Be Patient
There is no reason to grab the first cute piece that you see. That is often the most expensive one. To save money, you need to learn to be patient. This is also a good rule of life to teach your children. Learning to be patient and not buying the first thing you see will go far in teaching you and them how to save money.
