Re: Make Clothing Last - Saving Money Tips

Because of very low income, I have to buy most of my clothes 2nd hand. This is what I am doing at moment as I am losing weight. If you are buying 2nd - hand clothes anyway. Keeping your clothes and recycling them, then pick out a wardrobe for each season from your storage of clothes and buy only what missing.

I down grade clothing into these groups.

Extra Good – Wedding, Trip & Party Clothes.
Good – City & Day & Trip Clothes.
Good/Medium – Local Shopping & Trip Clothes.
Medium – Visiting Friends & Local Shopping
Medium/Poor – House Clothes.
Poor – Working Around House
Very Poor – Garden or Painting
Out – Rags

This is my down grading strategy.
