So, this is another weekly segment I decided would be informative and worthy of having its own day of the week for posts.

 

I’d like to share the costs I paid and comparisons to full value of the items I wore for What Knot Wednesday’s previous day’s installment.

 

Without further ado, here is Installment #1 of Thrifty Thursday.

Yesterday I wore a silk tie, white shirt, light gray vest and a pair of dark gray trousers.

A break-down of the costs:

Tie:  $1.99

Vest:  $22.00 (on sale)

Pants:  $19.99 (Arrow brand from Sear’s)

Shirt: $17.50 (Stafford brand from JC Penny’s)

 

Total: $61.49

Normally the prices would be:

Tie:  $20.00

Vest:  $35.00 (on sale)

Pants:  $39.99 (Arrow brand from Sear’s)

Shirt: $35.00 (Stafford brand from JC Penny’s)

 

Total: $129.99

I paid less than half of the “normal” prices.

I do find a lot of good stuff at the thrift stores like Salvation Army and Goodwill.  I have to look, but it’s worth it.  I can get fresh from the cleaner’s pants and shirts for less than the price of the dry cleaning and laundering cost. Sometimes I’ll but a nice $60 retail value shirt for $7, take it to the cleaners for the $1.99 laundering service and had spent $9 for it.

I look forward to sharing next week’s cost break-downs for the What Knot Wednesday ensemble.

Be sure to share this – or any other post.  The more the merrier I always say, and someone else might find the information helpful.  So be helpful: please subscribe and share.

I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their week!
