Pricing
Less than 40 percent of all clothing is sold at full price. Some stores mark up so they can mark down.
Teri says the life expectancy for full-price clothes is about nine weeks, but only pull the trigger if it’s a hot fashion item. Stores have gotten wiser and don’t make the huge batches of the same trendy clothes. Fashion “mistakes” — bad ideas in the first place — are the first to go on sale and those are often the best deals — as much as 80 percent off! Another secret — some stores even create items that immediately go on sale at 50 percent off.
Beware: What you may not know is that items that were made to sell at 50 percent off are usually lower quality.
