1. Managing Clothing

2. Brands
No matter if we’re talking about cereal, cough syrup or batteries, products featuring nationally recognized name brands tend to cost more than their generic store-brand counterparts. But the assumption that higher price means higher quality is fading.

3. Brands
In 2010, 57% of consumers agreed with the statement “Brand names are not better quality.” More recently, the figure inched up to 64%.
And if brand names do not represent better quality, why would it be worth paying more for them?

7. Much for Less
Clothing sales generally happen at the end of the season.
Bargain fanatics buy items just because they are on sale.
If you buy an unnecessary item because it’s on sale, you may not be saving money at all.

8. Comparing Clothing Value
Buying current styles, which tend to change each year, can be expensive because new clothes must be bought annually.
Buying classic styles, which are more basic and do not change as much, will help your clothes last longer, saving money.
Durability I show well something lasts over time.
Service flow is the amount of time you get to use the product and the value you place on that use.
Factor in the cost of care involved in clothing that must be hand washer or dry cleaned versus machine washable.
