    How much do you spend?

    Just curious, how much have you spent on crossdressing in the past year? Since really coming out last April I've spent over $3000 on wigs, shoes/boots, breast forms, skirts, tops and makeup. Also, many pairs of pantyhose and stockings. Just as a side note....many of the gg's I know never wear hose of any type (may'be once in a blue moon)...so do you think that crossdresser have helped keep the pantyhose and stocking manufacturers in business?

    Hmmmm, I was sorta thinking that the other day. But I didn't do any serious calculations on it. Since I started purchasing femme things for myself I may have spend about $500 maybe. Possibly less but not more that $1000 I know that. Now this makes me want to check my purchasing records......

    I'm not sure I want to know the answer, but I'd say, conservatively, that I spend about $200 to $300 per month on clothes, make up etc.

    Let's call it $700 or so. Haven't needed anything major like breast forms or a wig in the last 12 months.

    Not anywhere near enough. I realized how I needed to update my clothes lately and have been doing some shopping. I just bought some new shoes today at Payless.

    In the last year I spent maybe $500.00! I really have to wonder why I spent that much, since I already have so many things! But you know us girls, if we see something we like we just Have to buy it!! In years past I probably spent $4,000 to $5,000 per year on feminine things for myself. Of course, I also bought many things for my late wife!

    Being relatively new, I only have 5 months of brand new purchasing, but it is at or above $300 to $350 per month

    For the past year about $700 because I bought a new wig,
    I didn't go overboard on anything else, but the little things do add up.
    I don't wear women's clothes, I wear MY clothes !

    Ahhhhh. Did this calculation last week. In 2011, not counting make up., tights and underwear .... £7000. In my defence, this included a closing down sale in my favourite shoe shop, and discovering two new wonderful shops, one of them practically giving clothes away - but in quantity! Also there was a major sale in my absolute favourite boutique. There are now only three chains in my spending - East, Phase Eight and Debenhams (with M&S for underwear) and six independent boutiques. The boutiques not only have wonderful clothes but wonderful staff/owners who make it a complete pleasure to shop there. Most of them even give me discounts on top of sale prices. I don't regard wearing women's clothes as a problem, but the expenditure probably is - and I have run out of room. I can afford this, but it is still bonkers.

    I refuse to keep track of the $$$. It's probably in the neighborhood of $750 per year NOW only because I've almost run out of slips I would buy. With over four hundred slips I don't even want to think how much they have cost me. Right now I'm trying to find and buy bras in some difficult to find colors to match some vintage slips. I just picked up a nice Just My Size jade green bra to match a vintage (1980's) J C Penny slip in jade with black lace at the bodice and hem. The combination goes extremely well with a nice knee length jade green with black accents dress. Yummy!

    I just really came out to my SO, so I really don't have a true figure yet. Although in the last 2 weeks I spent about $300 and plan on spending some more
    one thing I do to kinda help support my spending is selling things on eBay. I do a lot of thrift shopping, garage sales and try to pick up items cheap and then sell them for a profit on eBay. I just sold a Stephen King book I bought at a good will for $1.99 for $40 If you find the right items you can build that Paypal account up pretty quick

    A few thousand -- I don't track it exactly, but I have an unfortunate (depending on how you look at it) predilection for expensive designer shoes.
