I've gone and purchased even more clothing. Yesterday I picked up some much needed lounge/ active wear pants for myself. I also bought another sweatshirt for little Abe that he will most likely fit into next winter. I feel like I've spent a ton of money on clothes this month but I'm liking where the numbers are at.
In total I've purchased:
two pair of pants for me
A winter coat, two sweatshirts (one is more of a jacket), and three long sleeve shirts that will fit little Abe next year.
I bought him a pair of shoes that apparently run very small because they fit him now (he thinks they're super cool and loves a new pair of shoes).
And his dad bought a pair of lined camo pants and three long sleeve Star Wars shirts that all fit him now.
Total retail value of clothing bought this month $241.65
Total out of pocket spent: $56.29
Total saved: $185.36
That's a 77% savings on all of the clothing/ shoes purchased this month. I'm pretty darn happy with that and I've gotten a good jump on little Abe's wardrobe for next winter.
Average daily spending for 2016: $20.79
Enjoy those new clothes - and I'm enjoying seeing that average daily spend coming down. Financial wizardry!
ReplyDeleteI must say I'm thoroughly enjoying the new pants. The two pair I've been surviving in had gotten very tattered and when I spilt hot wax on one of those two pair I knew I was bound to be purchasing another sooner than later. It feels grand to have new, not tattered and worn lounging pants :)
DeleteI'm happy it's coming down too! As we're set on dog food, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, and clothes (hehe) for awhile. It should start coming down rather quickly now.
