1. Go to the Big, Rich Cities .  You will find the highest quality clothes and items at budget shops in a rich area in a big city.  This is because those rich folks give away sweet stuff to make room in their 10,000 sq ft house for a swimming pool or something big.
2. Don't go to the small stores .  Some small stores have good deals, but they are generally picked clean.  If you can find a shop the size of an airport, you scored.  The selection is huge, and they probably even offer cars out back.
3. Find the sales .  As weird as it may sound, the Op (Opportunity) Shops even have sale days.  Look for a great item, and check to see if it will be on sale soon.  These sales generally occur in the larger stores.
4. Try it on .  I know it only costs a buck, but the main reason a lot of items are given to these shops for free are because they are miscut, misshaped and totally disproportional.  Plus, most items are not refundable!
5. Turn it on .  If you are going to venture into the unknown world of electronic purchases at Op Shops, make sure it works.  It might look good, but you will find that most items lack a crucial component that is needed for proper operation.

Below is a list of most of the top Budget Shops around the world who have listed their companies on the internet.  Otherwise, look in the Yellow Pages under Clothing:  Consignment, Retail, or Discount.

Here are some tips for buying entertainment clothes for University Parties. 

Fact:  Alcohol influences judgment and balance.

When you have 200 drunk people dancing and stumbling around you, beer will inevitably be spilt on you.  Like bikini’s are made for mud wrestling, so partying consists of its own appropriate attire. 

Never wear your best, new university clothes or shoes – they will be ruined! Don’t wear your grungiest clothes – no one will talk to you. Although plastic clothes are the preferred choice, as stains are removed with Windex, cheap cotton is a viable substitute.  Old street or sport shoes are suggested as beer and mud tend to gather in lumps on your shoes by the end of the night.  How?  I don’t know!!!

Don’t wear stuff that you would be bummed to lose.  Many house parties survive off of left behind items.  This is where cheap stuff comes in handy.  Never wear sunglasses! 

Most shops give you a huge selection.  Swallow your pride and browse.  The clothes have been cleaned, so don't worry about trying them on and actually touching them.  If plaid, checkered, velvet or corduroy is your style, you will be heaven.

• Be sensible - My first year at uni, I only packed shorts and shirts with one sweater.  I soon found out that it rained a lot and ended up snowing.  Try to remember the climate.
• Bring the Basics - Before packing your prom dress and your best dancing clothes, bring the basics.  If your clothes will require a lot of iron and special attention, you will be quickly overwhelmed.  Don't forget to be comfortable.
• Be yourself - Buying a stack of clothes just because they are fashionable and are really not your style will make you uncomfortable.  People respect the nonconformist.  
• Good Ideas - There are a few clothes that just fit every situation: blue jeans and shirts.  They are versatile, fit in any situation, and will last throughout your Uni years.

Finding the right clothes once you are at Uni is not too difficult. In fact many stores cater to the poor college students.  Find these opp shops .
