I have been bad
| Fri, 07-15-2005 - 10:57pm |
Hi, everyone. Well, remember the vacation? It is fast approaching. I tried to use my bank/debit card as much as I could, but ended up charging some items on the pesky cc. Have absolutely no clothes to wear. Nothing fits. So, I went to some websites and stocked up on sale items, shorts, t-shirts, short PJ's. Had to pay for the pet sitter, too. I did one snowflake to the car payment, but am not counting that. I did stay away from all dept stores, so that is a saving grace. Well, at least on vac, I hope not to spend too much. Whiz.

Thank god clothing is not a weakness for me. All I wear is jeans/shirts in the fall & winter, and shorts/shirts in the spring/summer. I go to Kohls at the end of the season and stock up in $5 Lee/Levi shorts for next year, and same for fall/winter shirts. Long jeans you can never really get them on clearance but I just get them on sale. Even this year when I went to Mexico, I spent $80 got myself 4 shirts, a purse,2 skorts, and tennis shoes.

I've found I can get myself clothes I like just as much as new (sometimes better) at thrift stores. Plus I can get a ton of stuff for nothing and I still get the same satisfaction of having new (to me) things. I haven't bought myself anything new (with the exception of a new dress for dd's baptism and the bridesmaids dress for my sisters wedding) in a long time. It's a good feeling to be able to actually afford anything in the store, and the days of spending even $30 on a shirt or jeans are over for me. As a matter of fact I just went to goodwill the other day and got a pair of jeans from express that look brand new and i really like and a leather belt from gap both for $6.

We don't do used clothes unless they are from a close friend or family member. And really I can do just as well at hechts & kohls when they have clearance on sale. $2 for bathing suits, $1.99 for shirts. You just have to know how to shop clearance.

I know what you are saying, I have been to the clearance sales but for kohls i can never find anything i like, i don't buy used clothes really for my dc, i am a clearance women too.... i have all of dd's clothes for next year, from children's place, adorable outfits that i paid only 99 cents per item. I have a GORGEOUS dress for her for my sister's wedding , i paid 4 dollars for it at children's place, I do a little of everything to save money for clothes and i have gotten pretty good at it. I just shop a season ahead for my kids, it's easier to find selection for my younger child though. Although i have gottenthem a few things at garage sales, if you just wash them really well and hang them on the line to dry the sun will make them perfectly clean.

yeah I hear you but for me I get the heebie jeebies from clothes other people have worn. Heck I can't touch my husbands dirty socks and work clothes. Now you all know my quirk..
