Girls!! Moms! Dads! Dudes! How often do you buy clothes a month? When we go to shops or mall we can't help ourselves and buy the newest design we find or maybe the cheapest and coolest shirt, jeans, everything we like. We can't help ourselves not to look around and buy. We sometimes think, oh my God I wish I can spend more, right? How many times do you shop a month? Is it helping you at all?? Tell us...

I never count it. If I want to buy clothes so I go to the mall.. I'm a little lazy to try the cloth I like.. And my body is rather fat, so sometimes it doesn't fit in my body.. anyway if my narcism is open up, I can buy 5-6 new clothes and spend a lot of my mother's money.. =P

Yes, it is better if we shop for clothing on a need basis. It happened to me too, years ago, when I get to buy clothes which I will never wear. Shopping too often for clothes will be wasteful when something like this happens.

It is rarely that I shop clothes monthly. Usually what I do is go on season sale...like Spring, summer, fall or winter sale. Before the season starts, I will have clothes to wear. I find it is cheaper that way and I really will get good buys.

I don't shop for clothes that often. I usually get to do it once or twice a year. My daughter though, loves to do it more often, like once a month or so. My sons, I happen to have two, will only shop for clothing when, they need to replace those ones they have outgrown or those which gets torn.

I go a lot actually. Now that I am a stay at home mom I walk around our mall with my daughter on rainy or cloudy days instead of outside. If I see something that is a really good deal I'll buy it, usually it's toys for my daughter though. I don't like to spend too much on clothes because I get bored of them very easily and it will be nothing for me to go through my closet and get two garbage bags full of clothes to give to charity - I actually have two right now that I have to drop off. So I usually shop at Frenchy's which is a great second hand shop here in town. They get all of their shipments from the States (I'm in Nova Scotia, CAN) and there are a lot of brand name pieces that our stores don't sell. And I love being able to buy a huge bag full for $30 instead of one tank top and a pair of undies, lol.
Speaking of which I might just go shopping today, it's supposed to rain the rest of the week and we're getting bored inside!

Not even once in a month. Actually I hate shopping, especially shopping for clothes. Once I go, I try to get all possible from socks to jackets, so I don't have to be shopping for next 3 or 4 months. Ok, maybe I lied a bit, I like shopping musical instruments and all kind of nerdie stuff like computer hardware, TVs and stuff. Never feel like I need to spend some money though, I would be willing to get everything for free;)

I was such a clothes-shopping-maniac. I used to buy 3-4 times of clothes a month (not just one single piece every time, more like a bag of new clothes every time). I shop my clothes at a specific store and now I have cut down the amount to once or twice every season (around 4 months). I think I really have spent too much on clothes and I should save more money. So far, I am doing quite well. I don't have the urge to buy more and more.

I shop all the time. I am a shop-aholic and need to work on it. My closets are completely full of shoes and clothes. Sometimes I want to spend more money and other times I just want to look around and not buy anything. As much as I shop it's not helping me at all. I buy things that I do not need or things that I already have just maybe in a different color or something along those lines.

I don't always shop for clothes every month. Sometimes 2-4 a year is fine with me. As long as I have clothes that I can wear and they are not old looking then that's fine with me. I have lots of things to buy than clothes. I need my money for my school and since I have only 2 wash days in a week I always wear uniform so I don't need to buy lots of dress.

This clothes shopping is not so frequent for me atleast.
The basic reason is I don't depend upon my external look that much being well confident about my own personna to impress me properly.
The second important thing about clothes is unless torned I normally don't through away the lovely clothes of mine.

I dont buy clothes in a month, I have was not able to shop for clothes for the past six months. I am not really fond with clothes, I buy it once in a while or when I plan to go out of town thats the only chance I get to buy new ones.

Months will go buy that i don't shop for clothes. I don't have much money (i am a poor college student who's parents aren't rich either) so clothes aren't my top priority. I feel like there's more important things to spend my money on, like my food, bills, and gas. Clothes are just waaaay too overpriced it's ridiculous. I'm actually learning how to sew right now so i can start making some of my own clothes, that way i won't be giving wealthy CEO's all my money, i'll save money, and it seems like it could be a fun hobby!
