Sears going crazy
Very quick and super deal for you folks, to follow my vent on mortgages. And considering what I was saying, we need to save every penny we can. Anyway, Sears is going a little gaga and selling off a whole bunch of decent clothes for 90% off, sometimes more! How much more? Well, when you click on the link you'll be greeted by items that have been reduced from $20-$30 to just 99 cents. I'm not even sure you could find a deal like that for a used sweater at a charity store.

I remember the first time I picked out my own brand new school clothes. They were made by Oshkosh (or OshKosh B’Gosh at that time), and they were fashionable and affordable. What’s changed since then? Not much, actually. The clothes are still cute, and for a very limited time, about the same price they were when I was growing up!

The Shanghai Supposition: Better Choices=More Choices=Better Experiences

Cheap Chinese goods have created a Wal-Mart economy in America but for the individual they can be an eye-opening experience about the joys of travel, about the pride garnered from being a citizen of the world, about knowing that an inexpensive trip isn't a waste of money or time but it's the opposite, if you don't do these things.

For Best Results, Turn Your Kid's Pants Inside Out

Life Hacks

Designer kids’ clothes are not cheap. And while boutique looks are adorable and all the rage for younger tots, they don’t exactly fit into our budget (or our small, small closets.) To solve both the problems of money and space, consider reversible clothing for your kids.

This is the first in what will be an ongoing series of blogs, subtitled "Andrea shamelessly promotes cute guys who make videos about vaguely interesting topics." Now, I know that our Jessica O. did a fabulous blog post about stain removal here. Her post examined common household products that can be used to get stains out. This video, on the other hand, shows an adorably disheveled, slacker-ish guy testing out numerous commercial stain-removers.

Decked out in... dog? More reasons to boycott Chinese goods

Thinking of boycotting Chinese goods? I know I've been pondering it for a while, but I'm definitely struggling with the idea, knowing how hard it will be. Here's something that might just push me over the edge into a China-free zone: the dog and cat fur trade is alive and well in the Middle Kingdom, and animal pelts that are banned in the US still often make it over here attached to coats, hats, and boots.

brown dress

Living on a $20/year clothes budget: Mission Impossible? No. Extreme, yes, but not impossible for one woman: Alex Martin. She spent only $20 last year on clothing. Granted, she only wore one basic piece of clothing the whole year, a little brown dress, but she rocked that dress every day and wore it for 365 days straight. Why? It was a feminist statement, an art statement and "also a let's stop wasting time and money thing". The craziest part? According to her, most people didn't even notice she was wearing the same thing day in and day out.
