What's a reasonable clothing budget
I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get my clothing budget (for a family of 4) under $250/month. This year alone we've spent somewhere around $580 on just shoes. I have a middle schooler and his sneakers average around $65 a pair and my DH's shoes average around $100.
Do those of you with such small clothing budgets rarely shop? We don't get hand me downs from family,[url=http://cheapindoorsoccershoesonline.blogspot.com/][b]cheap soccer cleats online[/b][/url], and I don't shop at consignment stores anymore. I originally set my clothing budget at $200/month for the year,[url=http://discountmerrellshoes.webmium.com/][b]discount merrell shoes online shop[/b][/url], but I've since realized that it isn't enough. Even at $250/month I still feel like I never have enough clothes. I've only bought myself one pair of boots this year for about $60 (on sale) and a pair of sneakers for $65 so it's not like I'm out shopping constantly. I bought my last winter coat 2 years ago from J Crew factory for around $150 and don't plan on buying another coat until next year.
I spend maybe $60/month on clothes only if we absolutely need them and always try to resell. My daughter is young enough that I can get pieces used for $1-2 each,[url=http://kevindurantshoesforsale.blogspot.com/][b]jordans shoes for sale[/b][/url]. I buy my maternity clothes used at church sales and also my normal jeans used at Savers and other thrift stores,[url=http://rogervivieroutlets.webmium.com/][b]roger vivier discount for Discount[/b][/url]. Maternity jeans are usually $3-4 and shirts can be $1-4.
My everyday shoes are beat and I need new ones, but will likely just get another pair of Converse or Danskos off eBay and make them last 2-3 years. My husband bought me the Dansko boots I've been wanting forever as a gift.
My son is tall and skinny,[url=http://woolrichoutletdeutschland.halod.com/][b]Woolrich Deutschland[/b][/url]. I cannot find things I think are nice enough for a 10 year old used. Yay!!
I definitely need to keep my shoes nicer,[url=http://duveticaukoutlet.halod.com/][b]Duvetica Down Jackets For Men[/b][/url], but it is so hard to care about those when there are more important things going on. $50/month seems like a lot to me right now,[url=http://duveticadeutschlandshop.halod.com/][b]Duvetica München Shop herren[/b][/url], but I know it's really not considering how things are in the long run.
I pretty much only buy at the end of the season for next year. Except shoes,[url=http://discountmerrellshoes.webmium.com/][b]http://discountmerrellshoes.webmium.com/[/b][/url], those suckers are expensive! I look for clearance buys. At our kids shoe store I usually walk in, have the kiddo fitted and then let them know what we are looking for. Example: boys size 2, we would prefer laces over Velcro and his favorite color is green,[url=http://woolrichoutletdeutschland.halod.com/][b]Woolrich Deutschland Woolrich Arctic Jacket Woolrich Damen Woolrich Herren outlet deutschland[/b][/url], oh and if you could check the clearance or sales first I would really appreciate it. Many times there are no clearance or sales on the size. Are looking for, but the salesman will offer 10 or 15% off because I originally asked for clearance. Still NOT cheap,[url=http://giuseppezanottioutlets.webmium.com/][b]2013 Giuseppe Zanotti shoes outlet sale Giuseppe Zanotti Sneakers[/b][/url], but it all helps. Also,[url=http://giuseppezanottioutlets.webmium.com/][b]Giuseppe Zanotti shoes outlet sale[/b][/url], my boys only have two pair of shoes at a time,[url=http://cheapindoorsoccershoesonline.blogspot.com/][b]http://cheapindoorsoccershoesonline.blogspot.com/[/b][/url], sneakers and brown shoes appropriate for church. I but quality and they last until they need the next size so far. The girls have more, but "cute" shoes that I know will be worn for short periods of time, I don't spend near as much, then they get one good pair of sneakers.
My DH's casual shoes usually last about 2-3 years, but his shoes for work don't last as long. He wears quality shoes,[url=http://woolrichjacket.webmium.com/][b]discount 2013 Woolrich Woolrich Jackets Woolrich® The Original Outdoor[/b][/url], but is really hard on his feet. He often has meetings all over the city and has to walk several blocks at at time. It's either catch a train and walk through the city or catch a cab (way too expensive). In the last 12 months he's only bought 2 pairs of shoes and won't buy another pair until after the new year.
I stocked up at Children's Place for my daughter's jeans when they were on sale for $7.99. I think I bought like 10 or 11 pair in two different sizes so she can grow into them and be set until next fall. Her shirts are usually only about $4 or so, but she's so inexpensive becuase she is young.
For my son I usually buy him 3 pairs of sneakers to start the school year with and then another pair in the spring and some sandals for the summer. He really isn't into clothes like most boys, but he does care about his shoes and they are usually $50-75 a pair. I refuse to buy him shoes for over $75,[url=http://duveticadeutschlandshop.halod.com/][b]Duvetica Jacken Duvetica daunenjacke Sale Duvetica Deutschland Duvetica München Shop herren[/b][/url], but you better believe that if I let him, he'd get those expensive $125-$150 sneakers.
Edit: I think I'm going to start using envelopes for clothing starting in January.
