Today we have a feature money saving tip from one of our readers who offered the following comments:
My money saving tip is a small one. Yes, clothes hangers are cheap but not the kind that often offer a way for women to hang things that are strappy, that hang low on the shoulder, etc. I personally just ask to keep the hangers when I’m at a department store buying my (on sale!) clothing. Usually a “I need them to not be wrinkled for later” is succinct enough for the cashier bagging the clothing. Some stores do not give the hangers away however my experience has been that they’ll often give you MORE hangers if you want them. If they break, oh well! Please recycle the plastic!
I have to admit, since switching from the standard triangular plastic hangers that can be purchased for $3-$4 for 10 at my local Target, to the free and versatile department store hangers my closet (and clothes) are much happier, as am I. My pants are all hung with the hangers with clips and what’s cooler is that you can pair the pants hangers with the shirt hangers often times by linking them together by the little hook on the shirt hanger. It’s perfect for those who like to plan their outfits and, if traveling, you only have to carry ONE hanger per outfit to the car, not two.
In my book anything that saves you time and money, while making you happy at the same time, is the best of all worlds! If you have the closet space this might also save you from having to have a dresser!
Thanks for this tip reader!
