Who said shopping on a budget is not possible in New York City? Here are our top picks for you to shop some amazing clothes on a budget.

Necessary Clothing Store

This is a cute little clothing boutique that is situated at 442 Broadway, New York, New York. At the store, they have a variety of clothes for women and usually have massive discounts on them. By massive discounts I mean almost less than $25 for a decent dress.

They are usually open from Monday through Saturday, from 10 am to 8:30 pm and Saturday from 10:00 am to 7:30 pm. To pay the Necessary Clothing Store a visit, you can get there by taking the 4, 5, or 6 to Canal Street Station, or the N, Q, R, or W to Canal Street Station.

Buffalo Exchange

If you are looking for high end outfits for a really low price, then this thrift store might be the one for you. Buffalo Exchanges has locations in Brooklyn and Manhattan. You should note that all the clothes on sale here have had previous owners. Therefore, be prepared.

The fun fact is that Buffalo Exchange actually specializes in fast fashion. Therefore, expect to find a ton of current pieces from brands like Zara, H&M, and American Eagle, and more. However, do be prepared to sift through a ton of clothes since most people did not give away the clothes because they were amazing. You will need a lot of time at hand to visit Buffalo Exchange.
