Yeah, and for $0.28 apiece as well, so getting 500 of those for just $140. I'm starting to want to glue one of those to everything I own now, which is less than 500 items.

#4Wow, that's a lot of clothes! I wear like 10 [t-shirts,socks,underwear] and 2 pairs of [pants,shorts,footwear] and replace them at the thrift shop (except underwear and footwear) when they wear out. Counting jackets and hats and sportswear and more-formal-wear (i.e. shirts with buttons and collars) it can't all be worth $500.

#5Can't relate. No Ren-Fair costumes? No gardening boots, gloves or shirts? What about hiking clothes?
I own about 4 mundane shirts, 3 pairs of pants. That's it. Not much to track for me.

Sometimes I wonder if people notice that I wear the same 4-5 shirts over and over every week. All of my long sleeve shirts were bought I think from Sears back before their fall, so my cost-per-wear has to be astronomically low by now.

I found "more-formal-wear" to include "shirts with buttons" to be quite funny. Just think, you could class up your entire wardrobe by sewing NFC buttons to random shirts that don't need them...

#8I like the trick I learned to hang all your shirts with the hanger the wrong way. Then when you wash them, hang them normally.
Each spring, if a long-sleeve shirt is still the wrong way, it's time to get rid of it. Then I hang all remaining the wrong way for next fall/winter. Short sleeve get culled in late fall, with the rest reversed for next spring/summer.
Like the author, there are a few I hang on to, for practical (or sentimental) reasons. Sometimes I'll keep an disliked t-shirt around because I'll probably use it for grimy yard work at some point.

I was wondering about my costs too, but since I didn't obsessively track how many times I wear a single item a more simple analysis is annual cost divided by the year. $150 spent annually on shoes. $150/365 = $0.41 daily.
Guesstimating your costs: 5 shirts $20 to $40 each (guessing Sears costs) $100 to $200 annual cost or $0.27 to $0.55 daily costs for shirts.

Anyone who is bothered by that is not someone you should care about
