<< 164. If you haven’t worn some clothes, shoes, and accessories for several years, consider selling them. You can use the money to purchase items you will wear.
165. When you find items (such as hosiery, underwear, socks, and handkerchiefs) you regularly wear or use on sale at considerable savings, stock up. Why pay full price?
166. The best deals (largest discounts) in stores are normally found on end-of-the-season leftovers. For example, I have purchased new $30 slacks for $1.00, new $12 belts for $1.00, new $1.83 underpants for 33 cents, and numerous other new items at “giveaway” prices.
167. When you are shopping for clothes, shoes, and accessories, go straight to the sales racks and tables. In many Stores, the true bargain items will be in the back of the store. The savings could be appreciable.
168. When you want to buy an article of clothing, a pair of shoes, a pair of hose, a piece of jewelry, or some other item to match items in your wardrobe, take the items with you to make sure you match them correctly. If you don’t take the items with you, you may buy something which doesn’t match; and there is always a possibility you can’t return or exchange it, especially if you bought it on sale or at a garage sale.
169. When hose or panty hose get small “picks,” wear them inside out; and the small “picks” will be less noticeable.
170. Wear knee highs rather than hose or panty hose with slacks. Knee highs should be sufficient and generally are cheaper than hose or panty hose.
