• Don’t be afraid of garage sales, especially if you have children! Dig through those boxes. There are often times a lot of really great gently used clothes that are a steal of a deal.
• I never buy ANYTHING full price. When I walk into a store, I go straight for the clearance section. A lot of times, there are wonderful items. Keep in mind, time flies, and a lot of the items you find will fit great for next season!
• Do NOT be afraid of credit cards - as long as you use them wisely. A great neighbor of mine introduced me to Kohls. Get a Kohl’s credit card! 12 times a year you get an extra 15%, 20%, or 30% off EVERYTHING in the store. Shop only the clearance sections, and you can get some AMAZING deals. When you charge your Kohl’s credit card,  pay it off with a check at the register. No fuss - and no worries about having to pay it later.
• Shop second hand stores. There are so many items that you can get for a great deal. You just have to be willing to put a little work into finding them!
• Do a swap! Get a couple of friends together that are about your same size. Go through your closet and find clothes that you are tired of. Do a trade! Make it a fun girls night - you will walk away with some great items.
