I found leggings at walmart for $2-$6, and I buy jeans at the thrift store for around $3-$51

I am in Manitoba. Never heard of that but I am pretty sure Kijiji would be a thought. We also have a local buy and sell site too. Thanks for mentioning. it. I could put up an add "in search of" type thing. Thanks.
Since a lot of people on this site are trying to slim down and lose weight, they should have a clothes swapping section where you can trade your old clothes that no longer fit for someone else's that no longer fit them, but fit you
Just had to give my larger ones to goodwill, but saved some clothes from before I gained that now fit

If this is because you need plus size, they carry a lot of plus size clothes on their website. Often cheap. And they have free shipping on clothing and toiletries because they are necessities.
If that's not why, I apologize in advance.

I've thought about this, too. I wonder if it might somehow violate the usage terms and conditions?

I hit NY&Co. with a sale or coupon, and bought 2 pairs of their pants - one semi-stretch button &zipper fly and one more stretchy pull-on. I need "better" pants as an attorney and don't have time to hit thrift stores working full time, dealing with my RA diagnosis (and the billion and one Dr pats for that and my vasculitis/leg sores), and keeping up with 2 young, active boys. I spent about $50, maybe, and also got a pair of their SoHo jeans which I love. I have a hard time finding clothes that fit well bc I am short but have a large frame. Tops are so much easier - I practically live in tanks and sweater this time of year.
I have a ton of nicer clothes in size 12, which I am hoping to be back to by late Spring at worst. Then I should be set for a while.
Before the RA & rheumatoid vasculitis flare up, I would troll the sale racks at JCP, Macy's, or Kohls for pants and jeans, but I just don't have the time or strength to do it right now. And we have a pretty great thrift store I used to spend hours in where I got some great deals on designer label jeans - generally no more than $20 per pair for Seven or NYDJ!0 -

Exchange of personal information on the forums is strongly discouraged (although it happens all the time in less public spaces). It opens a whole can of liability worms.0 -
I can't recommend Poshmark.com enough. I don't sell anything there, but I've bought lots of things and you can find some amazing deals.1

I found several pairs of pants at a consignment store. Happened to go in on a day they were having a sale and came out with five pairs and several tops for under $40. Also found a great fitting pair at Walmart (much to my surprise). They are the Faded Glory brand and the style is the Parker Pant. They are dressy enough to wear to work, at least for me, but casual enough that you could wear them elsewhere. Just enough stretch that they don't bind but they don't look like leggings.1

Fortunately or unfortunately, I have kept all of my pants from the past 20 years. Can you say 'clothes hoarder'? I have every size from 10-18w. I have 1 pair of size 8 that I'm saving for only God knows what reason, except I still remember feeling good in them way back when, and I haven't seen a size 6 since High School. My husband was looking at my "kitten" last week and said, "you are going to have to go jean shopping pretty soon." I said, "yeah, in my closet."3

20 bucks. Burlington coat factory. Shirts 15 bucks. Not spending more money until I’ve hit my maintenance goal.1

^^^This. Except add an "s" - closets.1 -
I've been getting my jeans at Old Navy, but only if on sale. Nothing over $20. I only have 4 pair right now and 3 of them are getting too big. Luckily, I wear scrubs for work and can do moderate sewing. I'm constantly taking both the tops and pants in. I've even taken the scrubs completely apart and remake a size smaller. I'm simply too cheap/poor to constantly buy new ones. I've already gone down from size 2XL to Medium. Still not done.5

I have found great buys on pants at SAMs club. Really cute ones too. It’s okay to spend a bit on some new things. You have EARNED it! And you are worth it.5

Nothing currently - I have pants in several sizes. I've worked through all of my "fat pants" and are now in the "tweener" section of jeans/work pants. I'm glad I didn't toss everything out after the last time I lost weight, because at least I have a few essentials until I get closer to my goal weight. When I approach my goal, I imagine I will have to purchase new pants.1

being as i'm 5'3 as well i tend to be in skirts more than pants i have a pair of jeans and that's about it1

I need to wear dress pants to work 5x/week. Hard to find inexpensive ones so usually $30-40 (USD)1

I am not really a fan of skirts. Our office is freezing year round and I am a tomboy and don't like to have to make sure I am sitting like a lady. I really hate having to figure out what matches. Then there is the whole shoe policy. (Safety) Summertime I wear golf shirts, winter I wears sweaters. I am not your average woman. Lol1 -
Why not just get what you have tailored? It's usually not that expense.0
