How to Make You're Clothing Budget Stretch a Mile

Summer is nearly here and a lot of us with children and even those without need affordable summer clothing. Now at this moment I am totally stocked up for summer with the exception of that perfect summer sandal. I've spent less than one hundred-fifty dollars on for me and my ten year old. We both have what I call standard summer wear. For each of us a minimum of five tank tops each, two pair of flip flops, one pair of casual shoes, two pair of shorts, a skirt for me, and a semi-dressy blouse. Also, this year since cut-off shorts are quite trendy I've made our own cut-off shorts and saved money in the clothing budget.

Acquiring clothing at nearly rock bottom prices takes a little work but it pays off in more ways than one. First find your favorite stores and the cost of the clothing isn't important because you'll be saving significantly compared from where your clothing budget used to be. Use Facebook to your advantage, often when you like or fan any type of retail companies they often email you a printable coupon that can be used in-store or online. When that happens read the the small print and look for the expiration date. Then check what items are the exceptions to the discount. Now this is where you just print the coupon and hold on to it, try to use it when another holiday sale comes of or the end of season so you can clean up the end of season clearance clothing at next to nothing with your discount and be ready for next season already.

Another way is to check your favorite company's website for promotions, free shipping days, free store bucks with any purchase. Victoria's Secret is great for giving all three at one time. If you savvy you can buy a clearance panty or any item for less than three dollars, get free shipping, and free store bucks with purchase. Every time you order save them and only order of free shipping days and you're now buying clothing for free. This is how you do it, it really is that simple.
