Well, it's that time of year again!  Time to go out and buy new, warmer clothes!  As a teenage boy, I am gonna give you my advice on this time of year!

Now, I'm kind of odd for a teen when it comes to shopping.  I am really frugal!  I won't buy anything unless I really, really want it or need it.  My sisters, on the other hand, could spend $300 dollars on clothes in less than an hour.  So, here come my tips!
