7 saving tips to help you not 'burn money' when shopping for clothes

(Baonghean.vn) - The cost of fashion clothes can increase rapidly when the seasons change. Here are some tips you can consider to save some money each time you shop.

1. Look in your closet before you go shopping.

You will spend more money buying multiple shirts of the same style if you don't check your wardrobe before you go shopping.

First, combine clothes of the same type. Exactly how many sets of clothes do you have for going out, going to work, going to school, and wearing at home? If you are lacking clothes for daily activities such as going to work, going to school, then you will have to buy immediately. But if you are only lacking clothes for going out, then wait for the opportunity to buy.

2. Make a list of things you need

Shopping without a list can easily lead to overspending on clothes.

Once you know what kind of clothes you need, expand your list, the more detailed the better. For example, you need to buy office fashion products for work. Expand the situations you will do: Are you choosing to meet partners or go to work? Have you defined the style you like? Do you need a jacket, a vest or a thin sweater? Making a list as detailed and specific as possible will help you avoid overspending on clothing purchases.

3. Buy clothes out of season

Shopping for clothes in the off-season is a great way to have a diverse wardrobe while saving money. During these times, brands often have big sales to clear out their inventory. Therefore, beautiful materials are cheap.

As long as you know how to calculate and choose exactly what you need to buy next year, it's fine.

4. Create a suitable budget

It's easy to get carried away with spending more than you can afford, so set a budget for how much you can spend.

List your monthly expenses such as daily living expenses, children's tuition, gas money, etc. Finally, estimate the budget you can spend on clothes shopping.

Use the pre-made list to estimate the amount of money you will spend; if it exceeds the allowed budget, you need to consider and eliminate some items, or reduce other expenses to be able to buy enough clothes you have planned.

5. Be careful with discount and promotion programs

Many brands or advertising agency stores are having promotions and you can save 50-70%.

However, you should be careful when shopping, because these products may be of lower quality than non-promotional products. Moreover, many people who are greedy for cheap prices often have the habit of buying a lot at this time, leading to uncontrollable budget overspending.

6. Follow the fashion wisely

Every season there are new trends, but not all of them will suit you and they may be difficult to incorporate into your existing wardrobe. So when faced with any choice, try to combine them with some of the items you already have. If they fit your style and make you look good, invest in them. The best items to buy are those that you can wear more than twice.

7. Avoid carrying a lot of cash

Plan ahead before you go shopping and bring a certain amount of money; because carrying a lot of cash will increase the feeling of wanting to spend money. Remember that carrying a lot of cash will mean that you will have to face the situation of "overspending".
