I do love a list.

Frugal February has got me a wonderin'... just how much do I spend a year on Clothes, shoes and accessories? £300, £500, £1,000, more? I Googled it but the results varied between £250 to over £1,000.
In January alone I purchased four jumpers, a cardigan, a dress, a shirt, a pair of ballet pumps, a pair of gloves, two bags and a scarf. This seems a lot when written down, I haven't ever kept a tally but I think I should.
I'll be adding a page so that I can keep track over the course of 2012 (I'll be keeping the total spent to myself until the end of the year). Will this figure scare me? I fully expect that it will.
How much do you think you spend on clothes each month? Do you have a budget or no clue at all?
I'm intrigued to know.

I don't currently have a budget or keep track of what I buy, but I really should. I spend far too much on clothes that I hardly ever wear. It's sometimes as if the shopping/buying is an end in itself.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure if I found out how much I spend my eyes would pop xx
Fingers crossed that my eyes stay intact when I see the final figure!
DeleteOh gosh, I don't even want to know! I don't ted to shop every month, but every two or three months I tend to go a little over the top! I think it's a great idea to keep track though, good luck with the project!
ReplyDeleteThat's how it goes for me, I think I stop for a while due to shopping guilt hehe.
DeleteI should do! I feel sick when I think how much money I have waste on clothes in the past 2 years! It's a lot!
ReplyDeleteI actually did a post about this back in January and I have yet to calculate how much I spend per month. I'm guessing that it's somewhere between the $100-$150 range. Is that bad?
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to come somewhere near that, so I'll have to say that's not bad at all! I seem to be doing a lot of shopping this month though, undoing all the good I did in Frugal February!
DeleteThank you for taking the time to comment x
