I love to save money. And one area where guys can really save money, is: buy used clothing. Especially suits. Because men, well they really don’t dress up that much anymore. And when you need fancy clothes for a special event, buy them used. The last suit i bought I paid $6 for from a good will store. Too much, huh? But that’s not the only thing you should consider buying used.

Another one of my favorites of late: gift cards. There are a number of websites where you can buy gift cards that someone received. Maybe they don’t like the store, they don’t like the restaurant, and you’re able to buy them at a discount. By the way, you have old gift cards sitting around turn them into cash. You’re not going to get dollar for dollar but you’ll turn them into some money.  

I have a list of some of the best places for you to sell or buy gift cards at ClarkHoward. com. Other things I love for you to buy used. Music, you can now buy digital music from somebody who’s tired of it really, really cheap, and furniture, what a great thing to buy used. Pennies on the dollar buying used furniture. I’m Clark Howard.
