Your closet might be saying that it wants more clothes and shoes, but your wallet might be saying that you can't afford anything at the moment. You can satisfy the desire of more clothing and shoes without spending a lot of money by following a few simple tips.

Yard Sales

Take the time to look at yard sales. Some of the best sales are in larger neighborhoods that have the larger houses. There are often sales on weekends in the spring and summer with tables full of clothing at many sales as people are cleaning out their closets and looking for ways to make a little vacation money. The best thing about yard sales is that you can often talk the seller into a lower price if the items have been sitting outside for a few hours.

Check Different Brands

While you might desire the name brand clothing, there are actually some brands that have other items that are of the same quality at a lower price. There are also brands that look like they have the name brand but are actually a different name entirely. They still have the same design and concept, but they aren't a part of the original designer.

Flash Sales

Some companies will have flash sales, especially if there are new items arriving in the store. A good time to look for flash sales is at the end of a sales season or around a holiday. This is a time when stores want to make more money as people are either beginning to shop for gifts or are finishing their selections for the season. There are likely items that need to get moved from the store shelves, and stores are willing to do anything to make a sale happen.

Second Hand Stores

One of the places to look for amazing deals is a second hand store. You can sometimes find items that have been donated that are name brands at a fraction of the cost. Look for stains, and make sure you can wear the clothing as some items might shrink after they are washed, but overall, you can often find the name brand clothing that you want in your closet thanks to the donation of someone else.

Online Coupons

Using online coupons is a great way to get your favorite brands at a good price. You can maximize your savings with Kohl's coupons found online, for example. With coupons for places like Kohl’s, you can buy many clothing items and still get the savings. Online coupons aren’t hard to find, and you can find better savings than sales in-store many times.  

There are several ways to stock your closet with clothes and shoes without spending a lot of money. These tips can help you get started on balancing your wardrobe and your wallet.
