Discount Suits In A Tough Economy

By Victor Santerino

The big recession has brought more attention to the individual balance sheet than any other event in recent years. People want to save money anywhere they can, and business clothing is no exception.

Discounts on suits and a wide array of other retail goods abound all over the country. This article will tell you where to find these discounts and what to look for in a nice discount suit.

Traditionally I have told people to move past the department stores and specialty shops and move towards e commerce, thrift stores, yard sales, and estate sales. This still holds true in some cases but not all.

Searching the local Sunday newpaper has become a great way to find nice local deals at department stores. Your local Sears or Macy's department store can be a great place to find slashed prices.

Consumers that are not afraid to buy clothing without a return policy should check out store closings. These stores have set close dates and must sell all of their products before they shut down. I have gotten great deals off of some of these tragedies in the past.

When searching for local used clothing a great place to start is craigslist.com. This website will list many local places and may even have pictures and descriptions of the items so you won't have to leave your house on a chance.

Discounts can be found all over the country in places like Goodwill and the Salvation Army. These places sell a large array of clothing and other items at steep discounts. Buy a suit that is your size, or close enough to be tailored to your size, and you will save money.

Web sites all over the world can provide suits at much lower prices than most brick and mortar stores. These companies have fewer overhead costs and as a result you save money by buying from them rather than a traditional store. - 17943
