Make Clothing Last - Saving Money Tips

Keep your weight down

Everytime I seem to gain a pound or two the first thing I think about is not being able to get into my clothes, especially the summer clothes.

If I gain too much weight, I would have to go out and buy new clothes!!!

I can't do that. Why? Because I'm broke!!

Keeping weight down is a good advice ,but not practical for me since I have thyroid problem. I tend to gain weight easily.
Anyways I am trying.

You can get great bargains at second-hand shops. Don't worry if any of the clothes smell of mothballs. I've found that I can get rid of even the most stubborn mothball-smelling clothes by hanging them out on the line in the sunshine for a few days. Some may need up to a week. The key is lots of sunshine and a slight breeze.
