Use less detergent

Use less detergent when you wash your clothes. They will still be clean and you will save a lot of money in the long run.

Make your own clothes

If you learn how, you can make your own clothes. At least the simple ones.

Use warm water

If you wash clothes in hot water rather than warm water you will use more energy.

Hang clothes to dry

Instead of buying a dryer, you can hang clothes to dry. You can use a clothesline or hangers across your shower curtain rod.

Buy out of season clothing

You may get clothes cheaper if you buy them out of season. If you buy some winter clothes and other items in the summer, they may be reduced since less people are buying them.

Shop for clothes at garage sales

You might find some clothes in great condition at garage sales and for very cheap prices.

Set clothing budget

Set a certain amount of money each year that you will spend on clothing so you won't go over that amount.

Don't wash clothes often

Wait until you have a full load of clothes before you wash them. This will save water and electricity and wear and tear on your washing machine.

Dry cleaning

Cut back on clothes that require dry cleaning. You can save money in the long run this way.

Buy clothes a little bigger for kids

This is a good way to save some money on clothes. If you buy them a little bigger at first, they can get some extra years out of them.

Use those old t-shirts

Old t-shirts make perfect dust cloths. And of course you still keep washing them even if they are worn. They seem to still last forever. You will never have to buy a cleaning cloth again.
