It’s a simple fact that clothing wears out and styles change. This means it’s inevitable that everyone needs to repair or replace clothing once in a while—even those who absolutely dislike shopping. Luckily, there are a few simple guidelines you can follow when trying to get the best deals on new clothing.
    Tip 1: Thursday Evenings. Stores typically reorganize their racks on Thursdays in order to refill stocks for the weekend rush. Stores also generally lower the prices of items that will be on sale over the weekend on Thursday evenings. If you want to beat the rush and get to those sale items first, Thursday night is a great time for bargain shoppers to hit the malls. You also won’t have to compete for the bargains like you would during the busy weekend.
    Tip 2: Six Weeks into the Season. If you’re in need of clothing for the current season, try to avoid giving in to the urge to buy all the exciting new arrivals when they’re first in the store. About six or eight weeks after an item arrives, the price is marked down. One of the disadvantages is that some very popular items might sell out over the six-week period. Although, if you’re purchasing from a chain store, you can always ask a salesperson to phone other locations to see if your item might be in stock elsewhere. Another great advantage of waiting to buy is that it helps to reduce any impulse spending. If you’ve completely forgotten about that item before the time is up, chances are you didn’t really need it anyway.
    Tip 3: End of or out of Season. If your clothing size doesn’t change much from year to year, purchasing clothing at the end of the season is a great way to save money and have a good supply of new clothing available for next year. This works well for many classic or staple items, like suits, pants, or jeans that aren’t prone to going out of style too quickly. Trendy items may be a riskier purchase, as they tend to become out of date after a season or two.
    Though it’s prudent to follow these guidelines for money-saving shopping, also keep in mind that bargains can be found at any time during the year and in every season. It’s just a matter of scoping out the sales and having the courage to battle the crowds.
