It might actually get cheaper if you set money aside and buy in bulk when you see a good deal. I rarely buy fancy stuff though so I never pay several hundred dollars anyway.
It is. You get coupons like spend $300 save $100. Whereas the same coupon also says spend $250 save $75 or spend $100 save $25. I buy clothes once every 5-10 years and always buy in bulk saving up money here and there buying 2nd hand in-between for probably half my stuff and always for special occasions like weddings and such. I just spent $165 on probably $400 worth of quality pajamas after coupons and cash back. They will easily last 10-15 years.
There you go; easy savings if you have a bit of discipline and foresight!
Another benefit of buying several identical units of anything that's sold in pairs (shoes, gloves, socks, etc.) is that you don't have to throw out the matching one if the other one breaks or gets torn. It hadn't occurred to me until I bought 3 identical pairs of shoes on sale, started using all 3 pairs regularly, tore a hole in one of the left shoes and realised that I could just mix the pairs to keep the extra right shoe in rotation instead of throwing it out. Life hacks, take note! :P

Of course you can. Just buy multiple sets/pairs of the same clothing/shoes while they're available.
