I like the idea to cloth swap. I have just started clearing out my wardrobe and selling some clothes I haven’t worn in years.

We have debit cards. No way would I come at anything else on this list though. Not into sharing..with anyone

I save money by doing a weekly menu and only buying food to make what is on the menu

my sis and i are always giving each other our clothes about every 6 months or so, we will clean out the closet. same goes for those things that we don’t use like make-up that we have bought but wrong shade or that we never opened but only bought because it was a bargain

Ooh I need to do some clothes swapping!!

If you can’t find anything that way, you can always try an op. shop. You may even find clothes with the original retailer’s tag still on them. I certainly have on clothes for all ages.
At Red Cross and Vinnies I have found brand new and near new clothes look like they haven’t even been worn. Friends of mine got outfits for 3 girls for what they would have paid for one brand new that was on special in a discount variety store. All the outfits were either grand new (tags still on them) or near new.

I don’t do any of these things. I don’t like sharing my clothing etc. it only comes back damaged so I would rather not. There are however many other ways of saving money.

Great ideas. (If only I had friends the same clothes size as me…..)

Thanks for the inspiration, did some car pooling and clothes swapping.

I wish relatives or friends wore the same size clothes of me. It makes it even harder when you have sensitive skin and synthetic materials cause irritated skin. There is a lot less cotton clothing about. Most of it is cotton blend – cotton being the much lower % if there is any.

Thanks for this interesting article and useful tips. I love swapping and sharing clothes. Good to get into the habit of sharing whenever possible.

i don’t think that most of these tips are practical really

thanks never knew about the clothing exchange will check them out

Quote “Aussie House Swap say the average savings can be as much as $1,500 up to $4,000 for a week swap.” …..Haha, if you were seriously considering spending $4000 a week for holiday accommodation you probably don’t need to be worried about saving dollars – ouch!

My girlfriends and I often swap clothes.

Never pay full price, I take advance of on line catalogues and compare, ask for discounts, buy in bulk when the prices are rock bottom, buy summer clothes at the end of summer and winter at then end of winter for the next season – I’ve paid as little as $1.00 for items – I pride myself on being the super bargain hunter

these are some fantastic saving tips!

I really love the idea of selling your preloved clothing or swapping them.

there are a few great local Facebook sites for buy swap and sell and I have found some great bargains. Next big clean out I will be using these sites too.
