Thanks for mentioning my article @ consumerism commentary about frugal clothes for less than a buck.
You’ve written several posts that I wish I had written first.
I’m a fan!

Bartering can work, if you’ve got the patience and time.

I have to say, though, that I do buy clothes that people might consider “cheap” at places like Target or Walmart and I get alot of use out of them. Also, stores like TJ Maxx or Ross Dress for Less get quality clothes from the major retailers and then they can turn it around for cheap. Additionally, I’ve bought clothes at more expensive stores that shrink in the wash (which made me hang up most of my clothes to dry).

As for paying for good grades – I would be careful. Recently my husband and I were rewarding our children with purchased goods and foods for completing their school work (something they weren’t doing). But our family counselor said that children want time with their parents more than anything. We bought a game of Connect 4 (which they love) and told them that we will play the game with them on nights they finish their work. Last night was the first night and they had more fun than any of our previous rewards! Plus it avoids sending the message that hard work and high grades = money = success, which it doesn’t always.

Why barter it away when you’ll have to pay for more of it later? Unless you find someone willing to barter something really fantastic for a couple of bars of soap. Which I guess could happen.

My wife has come home with great shirts for me that look like they haven’t been worn at all. Many times they cost 2 or 3 dollars!
