I buy pretty much everything either on sale or at the Weekday/Uniqlo which is H&M tier prices.
I would argue I spend less on clothes than most 'normies' that nowadays wear nothing but Hilfiger, Superdry and Stone Island.

if you want a meme answer (that sadly isn't too far from reality for some people), then go to >>14100331

As far as actual answers go
-don't spend more on things because of brand names or logos (i.e. don't buy a helmut lang hoodie because it's helmut lang, no normie will care. Do, however, buy something more expensive if the design appeals to you and it's not an absurd markup)
-buy used (literally check grailed. I got a wtaps bomber for like 20% of what the current ones go for)
-buy things on sale if at all possible
-don't fall into the trap of buying more because you're bored unless you have the bank account to back it up (you don't)
-buy used

The cheapest option is actually to eat unhealthy and get fat. Buying bags of fries (and frying them yourself) and cans of mayonaise is way cheaper than buying healthy food with vegetables and lean meat.

Both of those things are actually insanely expensive where I live.

I mostly buy fresh fruit, especially bananas and whatever other produce is cheap or on sale and proteins like whole chickens to chop up myself instead of pre-cut pieces.

My weekly grocery bill is usually between $30-$50 ($50 being when I try to buy a piece or two of fish) instead of $80-$100 like it used to be. I also don’t eat at restaurants or order take-out like I used to which added an extra $100 per week. So on top of my previous disposable income I now have got a pretty decent amount to blow on clothes when I feel like it, and thanks to not eating out I’ve lost a lot of weight.

>buying bags of fries and frying them

10 onions cost like, two dollars. 10 carrots cost like two dollars, again. Get some lentils (preferably in bulk), it's gonna cost you around 20 cents per meal. Get some rice, (in bulk, preferably) again, 20 cents per meal.
Add them all together - 2 onions, 2 carrots, lentils, rice, top it off with seeds, that's a meal that's like 2 dollars made from healthy as fuck vegetables and grains.
(a bag of flaxseeds/chia seeds/pumpkin seeds look expensive, cuz it's like $10+ per bag, but it lasts you like three months)

Vegetables (and grains, seeds, nuts, legumes, pulses, etc.) are pretty fucking cheap man you just don't know how to eat.

(Fruits are expensive as fuck tho)

Oh it's not just the internalized homophobia (which I didn't even think about but thanks for the reminder). It's the obsessive worship of the idealized male (body and intellect) and romanticization of Greco-Roman masculinity that ticks my gaydar.

Some thrift places have sales like dollar days or color tags, I got myself a lot of decent and sometimes very high end shit like marni and bunch of other italian designers normies don't know that retailed $800+
Usually I just hunt for style and levi's jeans I can diy myself.
Problem with thrift stores you'll never find what you need when you go once in a blue moon so have to stop by often ><
Also if you live in some shit rural place you probably sol and just have bunch of faded glory and maybe target brands.

Find a small/local charity thrift store and donate there. I donate mine to animal non kill shelter thrift store, they charge a bit on higher side but I am happy where the money go to.

Then why dress at all if you think no one else will gander your appearance? You can't honestly tell me that you aren't the least bit influenced/pressured by society to dress a certain way. Even if you reject societal trends that's you making a conscious decision to showcase to normies that you aren't a part of the culture. It's either vanity or narcism. Nothing wrong with this but don't pretend you are an individual.
