Clothing Bills
Clothing bills can be real problems for households on a limited budget. The kids expect cool brand names but they can cost a lot! You want smart clothes and you don't want to be seen wearing the same clothes every time that you go out. You also may need school clothes and work clothes.

What are the options
The first option is to check with the internet clothing sites. More and more of the major clothing stores
have an internet presence and provide wide ranges of school clothes and fashion clothes for the whole family. If you are on the internet then it doesn't cost you any moneyto have agood look at what is being offered.
The second option is to visit the specialist clothing stores that are spread throughout the country.
The third option is to see the clothing ranges in many of the larger supermarkets.
If you buy clothing from the discount stores then a two hour shopping trip where you save (say) £50 compared to spending your money in the fashion stores, then you have earned £25 per hour. If you earn £10 per hour then that is five hours at work that you have saved!
