How to Save on Clothing
from: Coupon WarriorsFashion fads and trends come and go. If you try to keep up with all the fads and trends, you can end up paying far more than necessary for your clothing needs.
You can save money when buying clothes by following some simple strategies and tactics.
Here are some tips:
Don't buy in-season clothes. A different line of clothes comes in every season. And more often than not, new clothes are usually released at very high prices. And they usually go down after a few months. The key is to be patient and wait for the mark-downs.
For example, when winter arrives, coats and sweaters are released. However, a month or so later, these clothes are tagged with normal sale or bargain prices. If you were smart enough to wait, you could still wear these clothes during the remaining days of winter and the coming fall.
Wait for Factory Sales. During their sale season, factories often cut their clothing prices by 40% to 90% off the original prices - a big saving! You can get a good deal on clothes by going directly to the manufacturer's store.
Garage Sales: these are popular places to find clothes at really low prices. By searching out family-operated sales, chances of getting quality clothes are much higher than at garage sales held for strictly commercial purposes.
Avoid buying clothes just because price is very low. If you don't wear the clothes, any saving you may have had is wasted.
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's a good idea to get two sizes, since children grow up really fast. Two colors provide variety. However, get doubles in sizes and colors only if the clothes are already reduced.
Shop Online: Most clothing lines have their own websites where you can shop. Like regular stores, the online shops have their season for sales and bargains as well. Get into the habit of checking your favorite clothing line regularly as you watch for bargains.
Sign up for your favorite boutique's mailing list: Get on the mailing list for your favorite clothing store to receive newsletters and catalogues. This will keep you informed about items that will be going on sale, as well as new releases of trendy clothes.
Coupon Codes and Coupon Cards: If shopping online is your thing, you can find many coupon codes online that give cuts in the original price at your favorite online store. Coupon code sites include: www.couponwarriors.com, www.couponcabin.com, www.keycode.com.
Look for the "apparel" category code and you will be given a choice of retailers. You can also put the "online coupon" or "coupon code" in your favorite search engines, such as Google, and get a list of sites showing the best deals offered by retailers.
In-Store Credit Cards: many boutiques offer in-store credit cards. You can 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.
Cardholders also usually get special coupons, birthday discounts and other relative discounts every holiday and often can get discounts, ranging from 5% to 15%.
Another benefit is free shipping, being kept informed about the arrival of new clothing lines and rebates. However, using in-store credit cards is advantageous only if you pay your credit card bill a day after you buy the product.
You need to pay almost immediately after the purchase to avoid incurring substantial finance fees and interest. These costs may outweigh any savings you were expecting when applying for the credit card.
Get a part-time job at your favorite store: Many shoppers get part time jobs at their favorite boutique, giving them extra money from their job, and employee discounts on any clothes they buy from that particular store.
