NBER Says US Economy in Recession: Save Money this Winter on Hooded Sweatshirts
December 1st, 2008 | Published in Graphic Hoodies, Hooded Sweatshirts
“The U.S. economy has been in recession since December 2007, the National Bureau of Economic Research announced on Monday. The result comes despite the economy not having suffered the two consecutive quarters of negative growth usually needed to characterize an economy as recessionary. The only negative reads on GDP in the US were in Q4 2007, when the economy fell 0.2%, while in Q3 2008 preliminary estimates suggest a 0.5% contraction. ‘Because a recession is a broad contraction of the economy, not confined to one sector, the committee emphasizes economy-wide measures of economic activity. The committee believes that domestic production and employment are the primary conceptual measures of economic activity,’ explained the report.” CEP News
With the economy in a downwards spiral many families find themselves this winter struggling to make ends meet in turns of heating and electricity bills, but these families also have to figure out ways to keep food on their children’s plate and clothes on their back. We’re here to offer a solution to the clothing problem today.
1. Designer Clothing at Walmart prices:
Check out all of those local fashion boutiques that you never wanted to visit. Chances are they’ll have something at an affordable price. These graphic hooded sweatshirts below are only $20 and came from such a clothing store:
2. Function over Form.
Just because it looks a little dated, doesn’t mean that it should stop you from buying your child warm clothing. Fashion should take the backseat if you can’t find something that is both warm and style-icious.
3. Sales, Sales, Sales.
Take advantage of coupons, sales racks, and special deals like Black Friday which just ended last week. There’s nothing wrong with getting clothing at a price that’s almost a steal.
