Why Money?

Can we beat the credit crunch by buying cheaper clothes?

With the credit crunch gripping Britain, we’re all feeling the pinch and being forced to tighten our belts. Record credit borrowing and redundancies means that we should all be buying cheaper clothes, cheaper accessories and cheaper shoes! So the key is to buy everything cheap.

To make money go further in a recession, check out your wardrobe. Any clothes which haven’t been worn in the past year are just taking up unnecessary space. Dump them on the bed and carefully list on eBay and while you’re there, see if there’s anything you fancy. It’s amazing the bargains to be found not just on eBay but on the internet in general. There is also a lot of designer wear to be had at unbeatable prices. A word of warning though, you should always make sure that the site you’re using has a very good security system for credit card transactions.

Many people these days are opting to buy fashion on the internet primarily because of tight budgets but it’s clear why! You can find amazing designer bargains including designer tags at half price or less than the high street stores. You can find savings on almost anything; including daywear, lingerie, nightwear and even sportswear! You can even get extra savings when shopping on the internet by visiting cash back and voucher code websites. These are little gems for anyone who buys things online (and some people don’t even know about them.

If you prefer the convenience of trying on and feeling the quality of material but still want the designer look, try buying fashion on the High Street. There are many stores on the high street who sell designer wear at discount prices; you just have to look around a bit and compare prices and its well worth it if you still want to remain stylish but spend less.
With careful planning and spending, in a year it’s possible to save as much as £400 - £500 for each person on clothing alone. An amazing saving when we’re all feeling the ‘pinch’!

To conclude, these are 5 suggestions for beating the credit crunch with cheaper clothes but remain stylish:

1. Sell clothes you don’t want, and buy designer outfits you really want but at a discounted price.

2. Use the internet to shop because it makes it easier to shop around for the cheapest prices!

3. Use cash-back and voucher code sites to get extra savings on your favourite retailers!

4. Use the high street if you want the convenience of trying on your outfits but still remember to hunt around for the best price on discount designer wear.

5. If you are like me, you like designer wear but you don’t want to pay the high price, I would suggest buying clothes at cheaper discount designer stores! You can still get what you want but the price is cut down; sometimes up to half the price!
