I buy the majority of my clothes at Walmart, the Goodwill and other thrift stores. I LOVE getting a good bargain. Yesterday we went shopping and I found my daughter a really nice pair of jeans for a $1 at one thrift store, and then at another thrift store I bought her a shirt from hollister. She was ecstatic. The outfit cost $2 and we were both happy. She loved the clothes and I loved the deal. I found my son a shirt too for a $1 and I bought myself a new (to me) bathing suit. We were all very happy.
I found some really nice items on clearance at Walmart too. I bought myself a really nice summer top for $1 and a nice bag for $7. It was a productive day.

I buy my clothes at discount stores, swapmeets are pretty good too I guess. Usually I find clothes in normal retail stores at $30 and then I go to a discount store and see the exact same clothes for $5, same quality and everything.

I don't buy clothes that often anymore. I pretty much have what I need and so I only get new things when old clothes wear out. When I do shop it's at discount stores like Marshall's or TJ Maxx.

I buy whenever I have money to spend. Otherwise, I just wait for my money to come. But I do love window shopping with my SIL. Sometimes, she could be my big temptation. If she has money and she knows that I want something, she'd buy it for me.

Before, I used to buy my clothes in a bazaar because its cheaper. But now, I normally buy my clothes in the mall because I wanted clothes which has good quality. :)

I don't often buy clothes. But in my time, I've owned a lot of clothes: I used to love clothes as a young man: I was quite a dandy. But I've lost so many; I've given them away; or even thrown them away: I know, so wasteful, it makes me feel bad because I'm not a rich man, but when I was younger, money was no problem. the last item of clothing I bought was last summer: I bought a humble tee-shirt; but I didn't like it, so it's now hanging in my cupboard. I bought it through a catalogue. I've been buying clothes via a catalogue for many many years now, because I don't like shopping for clothes. Most of my purchases have been highly successful: the tee-shirt was a rare misfire.

I go to boutiques and thrift shops--more the latter than the former these days. However, I really do not need any more clothing at this point. I have a lot of clothes, and many of the pieces are in "timeless" styles. I tend to avoid fads and gravitate toward pieces that are going to be long-lasting.

I love shopping at Goodwill!!! I buy a lot of my clothes there. I buy jeans, tee's, and anything that looks good! I refuse to pay a lot of money for jeans that are name brand and that I can get for only $3! I do shop at other stores occasionally for new clothes, but not often. I just can't see paying a lot of money for clothes when I can find name brand clothes elsewhere for cheap! I love getting a bargain!

I usually opt for thrift stores - the clothes there are unique and cheap, and if you find the right place, you're going to find stuff which is not overused or lousy... moreover, they are probably that much worn as the clothes in the normal stores, because you can't know how many people and with what diseases tried them on.
As for clothing stores, H&M has relatively nice deals every now and then. In my country, they still have their after Christmas kind of sales. I've just bought a pair of skinny jeans and a lightweight white summer dress for almost nothing there!

I usually buy clothes in the mall . Sometimes I love buying branded clothes and sometimes I want to but in a bargain. If I want to treat myself then I usually buy branded clothes. Not all my clothes are branded for I think if that so it is already a luxury.For me, it is not that so important if my clothes are branded or not, as long as it is clean, presentable and not out in present trends than that would be enough.

I buy my clothes everywhere (except in high-end branded shops because I think that we're buying for the brand and not so much for the quality of the clothes) to be honest. As long as the clothes are comfortable and don't cost too much for their quality, I won't mind buying (unless of course the clothes look hideous).

I buy cloths from the local cloth shops.And all of the shop owners are either my friends or acquaintences.The problem with me is that I don't have the skill of bargaining.So whenever I buy a cloth,my wife and sisters criticize me saying the shopkeeper had cheated me and/or the quality of the cloth is not worth its price.It is therefore I have left the responsibility of buying cloths for me to them.

I buy my clothes almost anywhere, lol! In shops, malls, thrift stores, etc. as long as they are still in very good condition, I know where and how they come to be in that particular place (we don't want to buy stolen goods, now, do we?). If its from thrift stores, we wash and "disinfect" them still. It all depends on whether I like what I see or not, it doesn't matter to me as long as I'm comfy wearing it and it looks good on me. I'm not that much of a branded person anyway. Of course, some items I wouldn't buy second hand, like undies and shoes, among others.

When I started working, my new friends at work influenced me in buying branded clothes but when I moved near to downtown with my family, I learned about bargain clothes that are as good as branded clothes. So from then on, I first go to malls and watch for nice clothes then go to bargain stores or thrift stores to campare prices. Sometimes the saleslady in bargain stores are asking for higher prices if they see you easy to be fooled.

Since I reside in a city( even though its not a big city ) I buy all my clothings from the city markets.
It's known that you can't bargain on branded shops, where you have to buy on the products' fixed rate unless there is a fixed rate of discount which they give like 2 times in a year.
Apart from that there are shops where you can bargain where they never tell you the exact price and you need to bargain on that price, some owners don't agree some eventually does.
Have a nice day.
