Shop In The Sales
One of the most obvious ways you can bring down your monthly clothes bill is by shopping in the sales. Generally speaking, most clothes stores will hold their sales as each season is coming to an end so that they can clear their rails and shelves for all the new clothes they need to stock. There are also some sales associated with public holidays. For example, many clothes stores drop their prices straight after Christmas to try and attract more customers through their doors.
Make Your Own
Feeling adventurous? Well, how about trying to make your own clothes?! As a matter of fact, it isn’t quite as difficult as what you might think. According to Stitch and Sew, you just need to pick one of the best sewing machines on the market. This will make the whole sewing process a lot easier and quicker.
