How to save money whilst buying t-shirts

T-shirts are a main staple of many people’s wardrobes, no matter what your style is. You can wear them by themselves, under layers, on top of layers, with jeans, trousers, skirts or shorts- the possibilities are endless. A t-shirt can say a lot about your personality- what you believe in, what type of music you like and what your style is saying about you. T-shirts come in all shapes and sizes and vary largely in cost. But how do you get the best tees out there without breaking the bank? Here are a few tips from moneysupermarket.com…

Customise

This will really bring out your creative side and ensure that you will be the only person on the planet to don that t-shirt. You can buy plain t-shirts for relatively cheap, so stock up on a few which have no design. Find a style that you know suits you, and then get to work. If you’re handy with a sewing machine or good at drawing you can create a unique design which is sure to be original. Head down to your local haberdashery and pick up some ribbon, buttons, sequins and other fabrics- which won’t be too expensive if you just buy what you need for your design. Then decorate the plain tee in whatever fashion you like- and hey presto, your own customised t-shirt.

Use vouchers

If you’ve seen a t-shirt that you simply must have, but it’s a tad too expensive, do a search online for any t-shirt voucher codes that may be available to get you a discount off the price. Several retailers offer discounts on their products to lure people onto their website or into their shops as the vouchers market is growing fiercely. Search for either the brand of the t-shirt or the actual retailer that sells it and you could bag yourself a good percentage off the original price, and could even get a discount on the sale price. Never buy a t-shirt again without seeing if you can save a little money on it first!

Rummage in charity shops

If you’re after original t-shirt that not many people have, it may be worth having a forage through some charity and vintage shops and see if you can bag a bargain. You’re likely to get the t-shirt for less than you would if you bought it first hand, and the majority of charity shops only sell quality items- so don’t think that you’ll only come across battered and old looking stuff.

Take advantage of BOGOFS

If you’re after a few t-shirts- maybe you’re going on holiday or you’re reinventing your wardrobe- then take advantage of the buy one get one free offers or buy 2 or more for a discounted price. This will ensure that you have a good stock of t-shirts in your wardrobe and it saves you from buying them separately which would be more expensive.

Enter competitions

If you’re a social networking lover then you’ll have noticed that there are constantly competitions being held on sites such as Twitter and Facebook. Be sure to ‘follow’ or ‘like’ your favourite t-shirt retailers or favourite bands or film companies and there will be sure to be some t-shirt comps. Usually all you have to do is ‘retweet’ or ‘share’ their posts to enter and you could grab yourself a free t-shirt.
