Really, buy more clothes? What happened to alterations first? Sewing is a lost art?

Good will and Saver's are my friends.

If you shop in thrift shops chose the ones in the 'upper class' areas, the stuff is better quality even if it a bit more expensive, it looks better and lasts longer.

You can also check your local dry cleaners. Most sell clothing and other tiems that were never picked up and all for just the price to clean them!

Wow seeing your great clothes makes me want to check out my local goodwill.

@MoldytoasterMedia I am not a hoarder. my house is not a mess. at my house you can eat off the floors. I just love clothes. I have clothes from the second world war (I am not that old) clothes that are not name brand and some that are. I do wear all of them and there is no price tags left on any of my stuff. I do live cheap but not to the point were I have to money. Hey, my question to you is what would you spend your money on if you had it.

@GrenadeChick99 when you work 12 hour spreads and have split shifts just to pay the bills sewing kind of goes out the window. some times, time is money. I do agree with you sewing is a lost art. when my kids were little I use to take holely jeans and make them in to summer shorts.

@MoldytoasterMedia I actually use to work at one and they over priced stuff all the time and the stuff was crap. who would pay 5.00 for paint stained pants with some thing nasty in the croch yuck. the clearence items from the stores are nicer. I can get a whole outfit for about 30.00 inc underware and winter jacket (canadian winters have -40 weather) I guess canada and the states are truly diffrent in that way.

@crewlla that's what most hoarders say.

@MoldytoasterMedia I have more and I am not a hoarder...... I have a closet bedroom.

I lost 100 pounds.......I bought clearence items and asked family members to buy me clothes instead of other things.... if they didnt know my size I gave them the names to my favorite clothing stores....... our second hand stores in canada are worning out clothing with the same price tag as the new clearnce Items.
