Dress For Much Less

Do you despair at the cost of decent quality clothes? Maybe not big brands names but good quality clothes. Outlet stores are certainly a great way to get the quality (and big name brand if you are that way inclined) at greatly reduced prices. Granted, sometimes the goods are slight seconds but providing you check them out carefully you should be OK. Most of the time they are simply end of season stock so if you're happy not to be the height of fashion then all is great. 

Charity Shops / Thrift Stores Are Great

There is another way you can get good quality clothing including big name brands at even lower prices. I'm talking about Charity Shops (Thrift Stores if you're reading this in the US). You won't have the quantity and the choice that you get in regular shops but real bargains can be found if you take the care and the time to look. It's exactly the same as regular shopping, you make sure the clothes are the right size, aren't damaged and aren't too worn. You'd be surprised how 'almost new' some of them can appear. 

So next time you're looking for some new clothes check out your local Charity Shop first and if you find something suitable you've saved a fortune and the charity has benefitted too.
