Frugal Style Hacks [0:00:00]
So, I'm not a cheap guy, but just like you, I hate it when I overspend.
When I go buy something and then find the same product the same service somewhere else,
but cheaper.
It drives me nuts.
In today's video, frugal fashion hacks.
Ten tips to level up your style without spending much money.
[Music] Tip number one.
Ask for the discount.
Gentlemen, ask, ask, ask.
If you don't ask it, you're not going to receive it.
I'm at Walgreens the other day with my wife, we get a prescription filled, $150.
We're shocked.
Normally, that's $35.
We mentioned this we asked if they have any discounts.
Boom!
Down to $35 magically because we asked.
Whenever I go to a hotel, whenever I'm traveling, whenever I'm buying something, do you have
a veteran discount?
I've got my veteran ID and guess what?
Oftentimes I get a discount with that.
Well, do you accept cash?
Guys, there are cash discounts.
All types of discounts out there.
The key, gentlemen, is to ask for them.
The next tip to level up your style without spending much money is to ask for free clothing.
Seriously, ask your friends, ask your family, put it out there on Facebook.
Let people know that you're upping your style and you would appreciate, hey, do you
know anyone that's looking to get rid of old suits, maybe some shoes that they never
wear, maybe a nice leather jacket?
Yes, this jacket right here, Aaron Marino, my good friend he simply said, "Hey, I love
this jacket, it doesn't fit me.
It's too big, would you like to take this off my hands?"
I'm like, "Sure."
It's $1,500 jacket, $2,000 custom suits.
I've heard of these things being given for free when people ask.
So, my next frugal fashion hack, buy from a brand buy from a company that's relatively
new or isn't a household name.
When you buy from established brands ones that have been around for a long time, yeah,
there is a lot of trust there, but oftentimes they've got very high margins and what you're
getting the product is not exactly equal to the price.
Now, a lot of up-and-coming brands they realized, okay, we need to get in at a great price,
so we're going to sacrifice margins, we're going to do something different to be able
to offer an amazing product at a very fair price.
MAHI Leather right here, the paid sponsor of today's video I think does that perfectly.
When I examined their leather bags, okay, we've got YKK, well working zippers.
We're talking full grain leather.
A full grain leather bag can last a lifetime.
This bag right here jus approximately about $150.
Yes, $150 for this.
Now, all of their bags are made over in India.
Every bag that is ordered, they actually make right then and there.
So, they've got pretty much no inventory and what that allows them to do is to run
a very lean operation.
Within I think it's less like five to six days they're going to have your bags shipped
out to you.
And, by the way, you can get customization done on this.
Notice we've got RMRS right here.
Every MAHI bag comes with a thirty-day 100% money back guarantee.
They've got great customer service.
And go to their website, look at the hundreds and hundreds of reviews what people are saying
about this company.
I'm linking to MAHI Leather down in the description of this video with the best discount
code you're going to find out there.
So, use it or lose it.
If you would like this bag right here or this bag right here, I had them made some extras,
I need to know the exact style, how you're going to bring this bag into your wardrobe.
Be specific about the bag type, so I know you visited the website and I'm going to
choose a couple of you guys here in the next week.
But, go check them out, guys.
Again, I'm linking to them down in the description.
Awesome company, very affordable bags, great quality for what you pay for.
My next frugal fashion hack, learn to love thrift stores.
So many great deals especially when you go to the right thrift store.
You go to one in the higher end part of town, yeah, where those rich guys are throwing out
all their clothing because guess what?
You just found a pair of Church's.
These are $500 shoes.
Oh, they fit you well, you can even get them rebuilt because they actually use a Goodyear
welt.
Boom!
Huge win right there.
Maybe you find a pair of Allen Edmonds.
Again, so you got to know these brands.
You can find a pair of Cheaneys.
But, if you know what you're looking for you know some of the brands, you're able
to identify something amazing, you can walk out having spent just a couple of bucks with
a, you know, pair of boots pair of shoes worth hundreds of dollars.
So, these next two frugal fashion hacks, I'm bringing them together; buy timeless and buy
interchangeable.
So, when you buy timeless clothing, you're thinking, okay, this is something that is
classic, this is something that is not going to go out of style in the next few years because
even if you save money you buy something really cheap, but it's a fashion piece, all of
a sudden you're going to find I can't wear this in a year.
You waste a lot of money when you didn't get many wears.
But, you buy something that's classic something that's timeless, you may even spend more
money on it, but when you buy something that is going to work for you five years from now
ten years from now, you are going to be able to get a lot of wears out of it.
Next up, let's talk about the interchangeable wardrobe.
This is the idea when you buy items that they all will work together.
So, I've talked about this many times, but a very simple concept where you buy three
pairs of shoes, you buy three shirts, you buy three trouser, you buy three jackets.
Twelve pieces of clothing, how many different combinations do you think?
It's not a total of twelve, it is three times three times three times three.
We're talking eighty one outfits when you buy interchangeable, you get a lot of wear
out of it and the most expensive things you're going to own are the items that you don't
wear.
[0:05:07] So, piggybacking off that last point, gentlemen,
keep your receipts and return items that you do not wear, items you do not use.
You go out there and you find that great deal, it was 70% off and, yeah, it's sitting in
your closet.
Well, return it before that return policy gives up thirty, ninety, whatever day how
many days it is.
And, if you missed that return policy, don't give up, simply take it in talk to the store
manager and say, hey, can I get an in-store credit?
You do not want to be sitting on clothing.
As much as I say clothing is an investment, it's not something that you put into a safe
and it's going to improve in value over time.
Unless – unless it's a watch, maybe, maybe then.
So, my next frugal fashion hack, have a hit list.
You want to have a list of items that you need to build up your core wardrobe versus
wandering into a sale for an item you actually don't need.
Okay, you just spent money on something that actually isn't on your hit list.
Again, if it's on your hit list and you've planned it out and you know that this is going
to work with your core interchangeable wardrobe of classic items.
You notice I keep using those words.
Guys, it's a good purchase and it's going to save you money over time.
So, my next frugal fashion hack, get a job in retail.
Even if it's part time, you get the discount you get all the deals.
You know it's going on, you're going to learn a lot, that right there can transform
your entire style and you can make money doing it.
Or, okay, a little bit too much, then become friends with the people at the stores at the
thrift store at the box store at the best menswear store.
Get to know their names, treat them with respect, guess what?
They're going to start putting aside clothing that they think you're going to absolutely
love and is your size and they wanted to make sure that you got first dibs on.
They're going to call you when that sale is popping up.
Basically, you got other people looking out for you, all of these because you decided
to go deeper into retail.
Now, gents, this video is just the tip of the iceberg for my tips on how to save money
when you're out there building your interchangeable wardrobe.
You want more?
Go check out this video right here.
I give a lot of Ninja techniques, areas that you when you're shopping online when you're
shopping in the store, how you can save some big bucks when you're out there simply trying
to build that wardrobe.
Don't forget, go check out MAHI Leather.
I'm linking to them down in the description.
And, if you let me know, you know, the bags that I showed you earlier in the video, I'm
not going to show them to you now.
You're going to rewind go check it out.
But, let me know those bags and if you would like one of them how you're going to match
them with current items in your wardrobe how you're going to look great how they are
going to level up your style and why you want those bags.
You got to be specific about the bag number, the bag style, the color because these are
beautiful bags and they are at an affordable price.
Guys, it's amazing deal.
Again, I'm linking to MAHI down in the description with the best discount code you're going
to find out there.
That's it, guys.
Take care.
