Campus voices: How much money do you 10 tips for smart shopping spend on clothes each month? 1. Before going shopping, check for coupons. Stores such as Target and Kohls have coupons in their weekly advertisements. Some stores offer coupons online or text programs to receive coupons on your phone.

3. Look at newly released clothes as well as the clearance racks. Get an idea of what is Amanda Mendoza coming out for the season so you know what to look for when it goes on sale.

5. Don’t buy something just because it is on sale. You will end up buying clothes you won’t ever wear and wasting money.

6. If something is missing a price tag, ask how much it is. For example, at Target, items Maybe $30. that are sold online only and are returned to the store don’t always have a price tag on I don’t shop them. They are all sold at discounted prices because they don’t belong in the store. much. 7. Ask yourself these questions: When will I wear this? What will I wear it with? How often will I wear it? Knowing how new pieces will fit into your wardrobe will prevent you from purchasing clothes you won’t wear that often. Eva Vong 8. If you aren’t sure about something, don’t buy it. Give yourself some time to think Design Studies about whether you really want it or not. sophomorehomore 9. Look often, and during the week. Less people shop during the week, and the stores are cleaner, making it easier to shop.

10. Keep your receipts and tags. If you end up not wearing something, bring it back! Know the return policy for the stores where you shop. I don’tdon shop all theh time, but per season maybe $100 or $150.
