Without question, one of the concerns you'll hear from your family members about having to cleave to a exact budget - especially if you have adolescent daughters - will be about clothing.
With a puny planning and mental outside of the box, you and your family will still be able to look sharp without paying top dollar. Keys to reconsider here are eliminating impulse purchases at the mall and shopping at no so expensive stores.

Here are 8 Ways To Dress For Less:
1. Shop For Clothes Only When The Are Needed
If you or your family members look at shopping as a sport, or something that's done when you or they are bored, you're going to have to break those habits.
2. Shop At The End Of The Season
Towards the end of each season, take an list of what clothing you and your family members have on hand. Make note of what needs to be replace due to wear or because your kids have outgrown them. After doing this, take your list of clothes and take advantage of end of season sales. If you're kids are still growing like weeks, take this into list when purchasing at end of season sales.
3. Thrift market & Yard Sales
Don't tell you kids!;) But you can get some great deals by doing this and the capability of the clothes can be excellent.
4. Never Pay Full Price
I know, it sounds like an advertisement. But it's true - if you only shop for clothes when they are on sale, or if you only shop at market like Tj Maxx, Target, WalMart, Marshall's and Kohl's, you'll come out much farther ahead.
5. Buy Children's Clothes "Big"
I used to do this with my son all the time when I'd buy him a T-Shirt at Red Sox games. He still wears some of them today - 15 years later! Ok, this wasn't on purpose - it was because dear old dad didn't know what he was doing, but you get the idea. This is absolutely a puny extreme, as you don't want your kids having to wear clothes as night shirts for any years, but if you are smart, you can get them a puny on the big side so you can get a couple of years out of them. There is nothing wrong with rolling up sleeves or shortening the hems on skirts and dresses. Warning - don't try this trick with teenagers as it will be met with disdain!
6. Swap Clothes
Nothing wrong with swapping clothes with family members or friends. Hand me downs also work very well.
7. Make Your Own Clothes
If you've got the skills to do this, you can absolutely save a bundle. Once again, however, you could run into some resistance with teenagers on this one.
8. Have Your Older Children Buy Their Own Clothes
If your older children have jobs, allow them to participate in helping the family financially by having them by some of their own clothes.
