Thrifty Thursday: Check Out Clearance Racks with Your Teens

My aunt said something about her twin 18-year-old daughters recently that I found to be true of my own daughter - and I never noticed. She said, "When my girls enter a store at the mall, they make a bee line right for the clearance rack first." So does my oldest and she always manages to find the best deals there for clothes that she can wear that day. It seems the clearance racks aren't just for the past season's stuff anymore.

Does your teen check out the clearance items in their favorite stores? Do you? Please share your stories, opinions and advice in our comments area.
