DD3 has been asking for a new bathing suit for the summer...so off we went this afternoon looking for sales...
I had money in the clothing fund....so we ended up getting a tank top, 2 pair of shorts, a really cute (and thankfully modest) bathing suit- 1 piece! and a new purse....(she HAD to have it! lol)
$60 dollars for all...She doesn't ask for new clothes very often, and she had totally outgrown all of last years stuff...so this takes care of part of the summer.
Now I have to re-stock the clothing fund for all of those new clothes to start high school with...
As part of our budget, I earmark a certain amount each week for clothes...This makes buying clothes so simple...we either have the money...or we don't and we rarely step outside the line. The amount is pretty small for three people...
but I tried real hard to raise all of my kids NOT to care about labels and designer clothing. I am sure this has saved me a bundle over the years.
DH is the only one who has to have a certain brand. He prefers Carhartjeans and work shirts...swears they last longer and are 'better'. He is so low maintenance on anything else that we never worry about it...and he always tries to hit the sales.
