The UK is the top for wasting cash

In a recent survey by YouGov Plc, it has been found that the average person in the UK has around £200 worth of clothes just sitting around their home that have never been worn.

If these figures were calculated to take in the entire country it has been estimated that there are probably around £10 billion worth of clothes just sitting there around the homes of the UK that have never been worn and probably never will be.

The problem here is that people go around the shops and see a nice piece of clothing and decides to buy it there and then, this is an impulse buy. But no thought has gone into this purchase, so the chances are that it does not go with any else or may not even look right. These items of clothing often just end up in the wardrobe.
