I Have Lost So Much Weight, and Going Thru Sizes, Inexpensive Clothes?
ok, I have been losing tons of weight, and rapidly going down in size, however, I cannot afford to continuosly keep buying new clothes in every size (I know, it must be rough losing weight!)
I am wondering if anyone knows where I can get clothing, expecially pants/jeans, very inexpensively???
So What Happened?™
Thank you everyone for your suggestions!!! I found stuff at the thrift shops, practically brand new, and practically free!!! (not really, but omg so cheap), also when I was asking around people I knew, they had friends that gave me a ton of stuff, FREE, I love FREE!!!
And I am so excited I am in a size 12!!!!!
So, thank you everyone!!!

alterations? A friend of mine had this "problem" after gastric bypass. She ended up sewing her own bras smaller. She could only alter so much.

Congratulations D.! I heard in the news lately, because of high prices on pretty much everything as far as clothing some people are shopping more at consignment stores, thrift shops, ..Goodwill Stores, Salvation Army etc, even yard sales.
Good Luck, and again, great job!

Congratulations! I went through something similar a few years back and spent a ton on clothes keeping up with it, too. Ross is where I got a lot of my clothes. It takes some patience digging through the racks, but you can find great deals. I loved finding something new to wear in the next size down... what a motivator to keep going! Best of luck!

Hello D.. I wanted to say first off, congratulations on the weight loss (if it is intentional, if not, then i'm sorry to hear about it). I have always shopped the clearance racks at places where I shop. In fact, I don't even look at anything that is "normal" price anymore. I always head straight for the clearance racks every where. I shop at Target, Macy's (which has THE absolute best prices on clearnace merchandise - the items are always cheaper than the clearance tag once you get up to the register for some reason!), TJ Maxx, Nordstrom Rack, and Marshalls. I try not to pay over $10.00 (it has to REALLY be worth it, like my Seven Jeans that I got for $20.00) for any single item of clothing and have had much success for years. I try not to buy anything on line unless they offer free shipping, otherwise, the shipping fee cancels out the deal. Good luck to you with this!!
