When you buy something for $9.99, and you know that it'll fall apart after you wear it once... you're going into the shopping experience knowing that you're renting. So all I'm doing is making the rental process more efficient.
I tend to tell my readers to go for the cheapest ingredients every time, unless they're unbearable. If so, you only need to have them once and the next week switch up.
It's frustrating to not be able to wear the same dress twice, so I don't have a go-to dress like all girls do. Renting is definitely going to be my new fashion obsession.
If you have a choice between buying something in Vietnam or China or buying something made in Virginia, why not buy it from people in Virginia? A lot of times, it's not much more expensive or may even be less.
It's easy to just go out and buy a $200 piece of clothing. The real challenge is finding it for half that.
I buy unknown, lower-name brand jeans. I don't care about the name brands, if I look good in the jeans I don't care who made them.
When I have a good pair of shoes, I wear them over and over. Whether it's nice sneakers or a cool pair of combat boots, splurge on a pair you love that you can wear over and over with totally different outfits.
I get a special joy in knowing people feel comfortable if they see me in Wal-Mart or in a no-frills section trying to get something on a discount.
I've always shopped on the sale rack, and I've always been the girl flipping through the hangers trying to find the best deal.
I'm a shopper but not a big money/label-y shopper. It makes me a nervous wreck.
Oh my God, I'm a walking advertisement for discounted shopping.
Shop often, shop hard, and spend for the best stuff available - logic dictates that you can make delicious food only with delicious ingredients.
I clip coupons all the time. Why should you pay more for something that someone else is paying less for?
If you don't shop smart, you get a little trendy.
Because of what's going on with the economy, I think women are realizing that maybe they don't need a closet full of clothes. They just need the right clothes.
I buy my own clothes. I have a teacher's salary.
All that Rent the Runway has really done is we've opened up the technology and logistics to make it possible to have the customer decide how long she needs an article of clothing for.
A bad investment is going for quantity over quality. If you're trying to be careful with your wallet, especially with the economy right now, you have to choose staple pieces.
We just love shopping. I don't look at the brand; I don't look at the most pricey outfit. Even if it's a dollar, I don't care.
I learned what looked good on my petite frame, and to this day, I'm a great bargain shopper.
I like a bargain. If I want to splash out, I can rent a luxury dress, especially if I'm only planning on wearing it once. I often realise that I don't like it as much as I thought I would and I'm glad I didn't buy it.
There's a whole generation of women who never really heard the word investment before, when it came to fashion. They've been buying things because they were cheap.
I had to go to Asda, it's the best supermarket if you're poor as they have a good basic range, Sainsbury's is for rich, posh people.
I'm pretty conservative. I believe that buying good quality is a good investment. I buy fewer things but of better quality.
You can find a lot of reasonable buys at Wal-Mart. But one key to making it on a budget is by donating your time and labor to the project. Do-it-yourself projects will always help you save.
