Keep Your Eyes Open to Find Good Deals

I’m into designer jeans. Maybe the word “into” is an understatement. If it was up to me, my whole closet would be full of them! However, I frequently run into one tiny problem: collecting designer jeans on a college student’s budget becomes a little tricky. Just the idea of buying them makes me excited and a little anxious all at the same time!

As a nearly professional shopper (I really should be certified by now!), I have found a way to add to my collection of pricey jeans and save some cash. Normally I head straight to the malls or to the top retail stores to buy my new pair of jeans, but I have found that there is a cheaper alternative.

You know those second hand retail stores that use the phrase “Gently Used?” Well often times the clothes still have the tag on them, making them “Never Used!” On top of that the entire store is filled with the top brands that usually 80% off the original price!

Another great thing about these stores is that will buy the clothes you don’t want anymore! So I can bring in some old clothes and get paid while I shop! Why hello, paradise! If you have an eye for what is good, you could actually end up with a great deal!

Do you have any tips to help a shopper save some money?
