So, this post idea is not new, but is certainly one to be reminded of as it will not only help you clean out your closet, but also allow you to shop for free and give back to the community all at the same time!
1. Ladies - (I guess guys could do this too) decide on a night to get together with your extended group of girlfriends at someone's house. Each guest should bring several articles of clothes, shoes and jewelry (that are still in good shape) that she is tired of wearing or has outgrown ... and let trading begin. In my opinion, this type of event might work best with a large group. Who knows, you might end up with a top you've always admired or a basic cami you need in your closet. (*I have heard of people doing this with make-up but I would only suggest doing so if the make-up is unused -- out of a free gift or something of the like).
Tip: If anyone is married or has children -- this might work with children's toys/clothes and husband's clothes too.
Tip 2: You can glam up the evening with some wine, cheese, and music. Put clothes on hangers and jewelry on a kitchen or dining room table.
2. When the night is finished, elect one person to donate the remainder of the clothes - its a great way to give to the community without directly spending money.
Savings:
There is no real way to calculate the savings here, but you certainly haven't spent any shopping money.
