Clothing Budget Will Save Many

VIC AGRICULTURAL extension service OIL
the University of Minnesota.
Thrift is common sense applied to
spending" says M. Lois Reid of the
home demonstration office at Univer-
sity Farm. 'No matter how much or
how little money may be spent for
clothing, wise planning and careful
buying will bring increased satisfac-
ton. If household is to be sue
cess, some plan of spending is essen
tial. A clothing budget is plan for
meeting all of the clothing needs of
the family for year.
Before beginning to work out the
budget, the homemaker must know
her clothing needs. This may be as
certained by taking an inventory of
clothing on hand. An inventory helps
one to appreciate how much money is
tied up in clothes. 1t also helps the
homemaker to discover the possibili-
ties for remodeling and repairing
She must decide whether or not the
garments are really worth the time
and labor that must be expended to
make them over. The first essential
in making a clothing budget is to
determine the amount to be expend-
ed. About one-seventh of the income
is usually devoted to clothes.
''The housewife has a big problem
3 in being fair to every member OF
the family. Each must know his OF
her clothes needs and make the bud
get to fill the needs. Many times the
needs must be sharply distinguished
from the clothing desires.
"The clever homemaker will learn
that her time and labor will save her
dollars. She will learn that it takes
a great deal of discrimination to be
able to buy economically at sales. But
with experience one can save money
by buying wisely at the end of the
season or at seasonal sales.
"Good planning means choosing
conservative styles which can be
worn from year to year and still be
in good style. Fads and fancies are
expensive. A clothing budget should
help housewives to plan wisely and,
If studied year after year, should
teach them whether or not they are
spending wisely"
