how much do u spend on clothes for yourself!!!

[nikcola]

i am trying to sponge some money of dp and his cobwebbed wallet, how much do you spend on clothes each month

I wouldnt know per month but could say per year! About £100 for me, and lots more for kids.

I don't spend a lot at all. I would guess at around £150 a year, just on bits here and there. Oh for the days pre-SAHM (single and working) where I'd spend £300 per month and sod the rent !

For me it is around 2% of what comes in.

There was a thread a while ago about what needed to be bougth each year - I think that pph had a good answer to this one.

I used to spend loads... dh and I would go to paris for the weekend and not to look at the Eiffel! We both love to shop.
These days we can´t really afford to shop.. but I have my eye on afew selected items for summer. Must remain styley

No where near as much as i spend on the kids thats for sure.
Anyone else find that if they go out shopping specifically for clothes for them, that they come back empty handed ????

I just can't get back in to shopping for me.

Nutcraker - yes!!!

About £20 per month at the moment, mostly on shoes/underwear since bra size keeps changing with pregnancy/bf. Luckily we have a market stall which sells loads of ex Per Una stuff for £5 per item, it's keeping me sane at the moment.

sorry to butt in! am new and have 3 yr old ds. just wondered if u had tried ebay for clothes (kids and mummys!) is bargains galore to b had. v addictive tho.....

nutcracker yes i do that all the time i spend hours walking round the shops looking for clothers for mome back with nothing for me but bags of stuff for dd

i ment looking for clothes for me and come back with nothing

and also i wont spend much on my clothes but dont even think twice about spening a fortune on dd

Yeah i do that too Nikcola. I will think nothing of buying the kids stuff from Gap and alike places, but when it comes to clothes for me, they are from Mark One or New Look mostly.

I spend no more than £100 a month. I use ebay too for clothes sometimes.

Ahem...I spend nothing for a bit, then splurge every four months and find I've come home minus £100 plus...

easy i spend £5 most fortnights i go down to our local market to get the fruit and veg in and go to the three for a fiver stall so it works out over all i spend close on fifty pound down the market a fortnight ten for f+v five for me about ten for dp and the rest for ds

As I mentioned on the other thread I have a £50 a month allowance which I am really pleased about although I now work for my DH who is self-employed so I suppose it has to have some perks.

Prior to this I spent virtually nothing on clothes so everything needs replacing but I am starting to see the benefits now, I actually have stuff to wear!

Hardly anything. But I go shopping all the time and come back with clothes for the boys and my dh. I can't remember the last thing I bought for myself it's that long ago.

very little - last time I spent some money it was £40 - on a skirt and two shirts for a wedding - before that - can't remember the last time I bought some clothes.

prob 25 per month, I buy and sell on ebay too to save
