As we all know nice and name brand clothes are expensive. What are youe ways on saving on name brand clothes? I have signed up for so many websites and always checking my email to see if i have any coupons i can use when i go on a shopping trip. I have signed up on express, gap, oldnavy, hollister, charlotte russe, jc penneys and probably many more. I know i havent mentioned Kohls, but they are the best on sending out emails with coupons in them.

I personally check for designer and high end brands on Ebay. Sure, you might not be able to find this season's latest must haves there for a good price, but you can find real bargains if you are willing to consider stuff from the previous season, for instance. I have bought amazing stuff there, and will continue to do so! So if you haven't checked Ebay for the stuff you want yet, I highly recommend that you do!

Ebay is definitely the way to go for cheap designer clothes. :)

We don't normally buy any name brand clothes only because we can not afford them but also in my mind it makes no sense to buy expensive name brand clothes especially for the kids because they are just going to out grow then or get them stained and then you might as well just be taking that money you spent on them and flush them right down the toilet. When we do get new clothes it is almost always from either Walmart or Kmart..now I have looked at Kohls online and they also have some really nice prices on a bunch of their items but I have yet to shop there. You know last year for the kids school clothes we went to a Salvation Army thrift store when we where in Wisconsin visiting my mother-in-law and they had some really nice brand new clothes and I was able to get both kids 10 outfits a piece for $60 which is a great start to the school year and then I went and got about 5 more from Walmart and that gets my kids through till about Christmas and then I like to do layaway and that gets them through till the end of the year...

I don't typically shop at those types of stores.. can't afford them. Mostly I shop at thrift stores, sometimes you can find name brand things there, though they are used. You have to look hard sometimes if you're really looking for nice quality. Since I mostly buy clothes for the kids, I don't really care if it's a little bit worn, so long as it's still usable. Also it may help to buy next year's clothes at the end of the season when it all goes on sale. Although I mostly do this at Walmart, not those name brand stores you mentioned, you still find some great deals. Like right now they may still have their winter and spring clothes on clearance.. and soon the summer clothes will be on clearance, so stock up for next year. You can also try shopping at outlet stores or malls.. like Marshall's.

I choose summer clothes that can go beyond summer.that way,even if I spend a lot of money,it can go a long way.I have a striped nautical tube dress which can be worn with a bolero jacket for a casual day.I have Bermuda shorts which look great with wedge heels and a belted short-sleeved jacket.
