I really enjoyed this series. I recently lost 45 lbs. and hope to lose more. This makes for a clothing budget nightmare. My sewing maching, local thrift shops and the book “Altering Women’s Ready- to-Wear” has helped significantly. The author also has a website with some good altering tips on it.

I hope this is helpful also!

The biggest way I know how to save clothes is not using the dryer, except on sheets, jeans, and possibly towels. This also saves money on dryer fees/electricity fees, obviously. I grew up in Anchorage, Alaska and in the winter months, heating costs skyrocket. To save electricity (and wear & tear on clothing) my mom used drying racks and hangers and let things air dry. My clothes all lasted forever. You can add years to a shirt's life if you let it dry naturally. Currently, I am focusing on losing some weight I put on. I want my clothes to fit comfortably again -- not just for aesthetics/ego/health. I don't want to have to buy new stuff! Abigail´s last blog post..Ka-ching!

I agree with all your points and have some more suggestions here http://saverqueen.com/2008/11/04/more-shopping-tips/.

I never heard about the pantyhose in the freezer thing… I presume you defrost them before you try to put them on, haha… How do you defrost them, anyway? With a blow dryer? Or just let them thaw out?
