Finding Discounted Clothes Bargains

If you’re looking to save money, one of the best things to do is to curtail unnecessary expenses. This might be something simple and relatively painless, such as cutting down on how many times you eat out at a restaurant each week, to something more drastic, like moving to small apartment. On the other hand, reducing your expenses could simply involving buying things that you would normally have to buy, but at a discount instead of premium prices.   

Buying discounted clothes is a great way to save money, especially if you have teenagers at home who seem to outgrow everything within a month.  New or used, designer or generic, there are a wealth of places that offer discounted clothes bargains.

Bargains on Brand New Clothes

Most clothes in department stores are sold at a significant markup.  If you can wait until the department store has a clearance sale, you can get discounted clothes at up to half the cost of normal retail prices. This holds true for men’s, women’s, and children’s clothes in almost every department store in country. Watch for deep discounts right after the holidays, when stores are trying to clear out the inventories that were acquired for the holiday season. End of season discounts are also available from department stores.  For example, winter clothing is usually sold at deep discounts when spring rolls around, and summer clothes can be picked up at a fraction of the price in late fall. The best way to pick up quality discounted clothes at rock-bottom prices is to keep an eye on what you want, and then refrain from buying until they go on sale. This strategy will let you get the best bargains in retail department stores.

Outlet malls are another excellent source of brand new, discounted clothes.  Sometimes they are located out in the county to save taxes, so if you live in a metropolitan area, you will need to drive half an hour or so to the outlet mall.  This can be a fun outing for you and your friends on a Saturday or "girls night on the town."  Name brand clothing is offered at the outlet mall at deeply discounted prices.

Children's clothing, and especially teenager' s clothing, can get very expensive, particularly if your family is struggling with a budget.  Peer pressure makes the situation worse because your kids want the latest styles.  If you are looking for discounted clothes that are brand new during times that there are no local department store sales, buying wholesale [free 7-day wholesale access] can save you a lot of money.  You do not need to be a reseller to buy wholesale; buy for yourself and have the item drop shipped to your home. Be careful about the size and take measurements first.  While wholesale suppliers will usually accept returns, the process can get slow if you keep getting the wrong size. 

There are also a number of reputable online clothing companies that offer discounted clothes prices.  EBay and other online auction services are another source of clothing at a reduced cost.

Scoping Out Used Clothing or Consignment Stores

An overlooked source of discounted clothes is at a consignment store, Salvation Army, or Goodwill outlet. Though some people may scoff at the idea of buying pre-owned discounted clothes, it’s a great way to build up your wardrobe on a budget, particularly if you have kids who are constantly outgrowing their outfits. Some shops, especially high-end consignment and used clothing stores, will have suits, dresses and other outfits from top designers like Polo.  You will be amazed at how many brand new items are donated to consignment and high-end used clothing stores by wealthy women who bought new clothes on a whim and later decided they didn't like the new clothing.  Other used clothing outlets such as Goodwill, the Salvation Army, or Saver’s, require some time on your part in hunting down good discount clothes deals. However, if you’re willing to sort through the racks and racks of clothes, you can often snag some amazing deals in the midst of the worn out donations.  Best yet, if you are buying from charitable organizations such as the Salvation Army, you are contributing to a good cause while finding discounted clothes.
