Yes I do the same with some clothing as long as is not pass the return date limit is fine

These are worn clothes??

Generous return policies from stores are to support those people who are returning clothes that have not been worn. They are designed to prevent a consumer from ending up with a product that is faulty or inappropriate.

Aside from the ethical concerns of returning used clothing (aka "freestyling"), I would hazard a guess that certain states have criminal penalties for returning used clothing.

Returning used clothing is a clear breach of the return policy. Your worn items have to be discarded by the store and that increase in cost for retailers results in increased prices for consumers. Or worse, one of us is stuck wearing your used clothing that we paid for at Sears.

Isn't this fraud?

:faint:

I am not sure that advocating fraudulant activity is a a "helpful" hint. I personally think you are toeing the line of theft because those clothes can no longer be sold as new, you are using them for FREE and then the retailer is losing out because they have dispose of them.

Are you telling the retailer WHY you are returning them? If not, do you think they would approve of your actions?

A helpful hint would be going to a consignment shop to buy clothes and then selling them back.

I don't know of any stores here in Australia that do that. Can't they tell if its been washed a few times?

I have just brought 2 simple outfits in my new size and will just wear these till I absolutely need some smaller ones.

You could always eBay the hardly warn ones that are to big.

That's just not right. You should rethink your money saving strategies. Not cool.

My first thought??? Yuck! My second thought?

I'm glad I don't shop at sears....

I'm all for paying it forward. Not sticking it to the store or some poor soul thinking they are buying something new? Not good..

I buy my clothes, enjoy them and then pass them on to someone else or give them to charity.

If you can't afford new clothes buy used ones (at the proper place) like goodwill.

You wear and wash these clothes and then return them in 30-45 days? That's really uncool and pretty low. How do you have a straight face returning these clothes knowing you've worn them for so long.? Walmart has pretty cheap clothes that would get you thru your loosing phase.

What you're doing is stealing, plain and simple. I don't call that a helpful money saving tip. If you can't afford new clothes, don't buy them! There are thrift stores everywhere that will tide you over through the in between sizes. If you need to recoup a little money from your new clothes, sell them somewhere where you can identify them as USED. I'm not usually one to judge, but what you're doing is wrong.

Well, you've been told off enough. I dig going to Goodwill and such stores mainly because I am so darned cheap. I've picked up designer clothes that still had the tags on. Treasure hunt!

When I was a teen I bought stuff at the men's stores, wore them to a party, and exchanged them the next day for the next party. I came from a lower middle class home and tried to keep up appearances and run with the wealthier kids. But mostly it was to impress girls...the motivation for many a nefarious act!

Good! Since I've lost much of my testosterone I needed something new to blame my behavior on.

Well' date=' you've been told off enough. [/quote']

I respectfully disagree with this statement... I think a lot of people here held their tongues,

I know I did
