[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, do none of you need to buy work clothes? My husband bought a new suit this year; there goes $800. That is not an every-year event but even regular work things could easily be $1000 over the course of a year. And that doesn't even include kids' clothes. Or my work clothes![/quote]

I totally agree. When my dh buys shoes and a suit and two dress shirts it's a 1000 dollars. 
I don't know how you could possibly spend 1000/yr. especially with growing kids.[/quote]

I agree as well.  I am very skeptical of the figures being quoted.  We are a dual-working parent household (who work in very professional environments that require suits on most days) and have two growing boys - we spend a LOT on clothes/shoes/coats/hose/bags/underwear/swimsuits/socks/ties/accessories such as scarves, gloves, sunglasses, etc. every year.  I do not think I have ever actually run the numbers but we probably spend around $600-$800/month on clothes (we usually do big shopping trips around 4 times a year so this is an average number), and I do not think we are particularly high rollers - we try to buy quality items on sale and at outlets in most cases.[/quote]
