How much do you spend on Clothes( and Shoes ) a month?

[Minnesota!]

Generally, I spend $0. a month.

If and when the shopping bugs hits me, I might spend 75.00 all at once. I'm not into handbags, shoes and clothes though.

Now, please do not ask me how much money I give to Mickey per year.

Ditto. Word for word. I rarely (maybe 1x a year) buy something new for myself. And if I do, it's a pair of pants, or a tee-shirt. My wardrobe is good as long as I am the same size from season to season. I don't see the point in getting all new stuff. Really? What a waste!

I am getting a new purse, soon. My one that I have been carrying for almost 5 years has started to wear and the zippers both fell off last week. Not bad for a $7 bag from Target's clearance aisle!

Mickey gets most of my money

I think we spend around $20 a month for 2 of us. Sometimes we spend nothing, sometimes we spend a $50 or so. I buy some thrift store items. DH likes $6 shorts from Walmart, so he has tons of the same shorts in different colors. My work clothes are a bit harder to find, but most of my bottoms are khaki or black, and I have several tops that I alternate. I hate to spend lots of money on clothes, so I bargain hunt.

I probably spend $500 or a little more per year, which includes shoes and a handbag. I am a country girl and mainly wear jeans and T-shirts. My big splurges are my animals and home decor.

I've spent $708.87 on clothes and shoes so far this calendar year, so that works out to about $100/month.

Last year I changed from a job that required me to wear scrubs to a job that requires me to wear "business casual" but has a fairly strict dress code. I've had some catching-up to do, wardrobe-wise, but I'm pleasantly surprised to see that I've spent that little, considering how much I've bought.

I just won 4 brand-name (J. Jill, Liz Claiborne, April Cornell, etc.) skirts on Ebay for less than $10 each including shipping from 4 separate sellers. Two have arrived and are in like-new condition, and hopefully the next 2 will be as nice. I love to shop, and I'm having so much fun browsing Ebay for clothes!

"no, neither my wife or I authorized those charges. We haven't spent $1000 on clothes in 20 years of marriage much less 20 minutes online."

(Sorry about the theft, but that's funny.)

I'm more likely to buy photography equipment than new clothes for myself. (I wear scrubs, too.)

But since I do have to buy basics for the family, I'd probably say $100/month or so, more in spurts for back to school and seasonal stuff, good shoes/sneakers, etc.

When I do shop, I like to buy good quality clothes, but I don't like to pay full price for them. I enjoy the challenge of a good bargain. (Same with my camera stuff for that matter.)

I spend probably 100 bucks for clothes, but I buy them very rarely. I tend to buy basic clothes, like button down shirts, plain skirts,slacks and jeans and then I get some vintage jewelry and kind of dress it up, so there isnt a lot of money spent on the clothes and only occasionally buy an outfit that is a little pricey.

If anything I splurge on books.
