Default Re: Make Clothing Last - Saving Money Tips

Clothes you can buy at thrift stores. They only except good quality.
You can cut the sleeves off old sweaters, and make leg warmers.
You can mend socks over a light bulb.
If the sweater sleeves are worn, turn them into a vest.
Old panty hose you can tie up bundles of newspapers with.
You can sprinkle cayenne pepper in socks and mittens. This will keep them warmer.
Leather shoes you can shine with pledge, and then buff.
Rubber boots you can clean with crisco. This will water resist them.
When your child is painting, turn his shirt inside out. It won't come through the opposite side.
Spray all clothes with Scotch Guard when first purchased. Stains will be a breeze to clean.
Spray and Wash is great for most baby food stains.
If you need fabric. Go the first day of the sale. Unbelieveable prices.
Salt stains on shoes. Use a rag and white vinegar.
