    Target has a collection of workout clothes, they also carry the Champion line. Otherwise joing either the ****s or Sports Academy rewards programs and use their coupons on stuff. Or try the clearence rack of the afore mentioned stores.

    yep, I'm in Canada and Old Navy has all active wear on sale...last year I got a good deal on some great winter running tops that would have cost a lot more elsewhere... Walmart also has an activewear line, not as good I think, but for the $ worth it

    Old Navy has ADORABLE workout clothes for real cheap. I also buy off season, so when walmart, kmart, target etc is coming out with the new seasons gear I buy a few things. I got a pair of track pants, a top for 10 dollars at Walmart.

    check out your local salvation army or goodwill store if you have either of those. Old Navy is cheap but so is the quality but I still buy it! Target sometimes has good sales... check clearance racks for things you can buy on the cheap now for a different season.

    I buy it at the thriftstore, LOL. (contrary to popular belief, not ALL thrift stores are disgusting)

    honeslty my best advice to you is to invest in a good sports bra if you were genetically gifted :laugh: and the rest you can buy for super cheap at either a thrift store or just get a regular tank top at target. Be careful with shorts because certain materials will rub against you (especially when running) and cause painful rashes on your legs. I just use some that are atheletic shorts made out of a certain material that I found for less than 3 dollars at a thrift store :D they work great.

    This. Target is okay for some stuff but Old Navy is really there way to go for work out clothes. Last year I got 2 pair of exercise yoga pants for $20.00 each, a white fleece pull over for $3.00 on clearance, $6.00 gray fleece pullover, and each of the tank tops I got (spaghetti string type but still able to workout in them) I only paid $3.00 a piece. I got a hello kitty tin water bottle which is usually like $20.00 for $5.00 Look for sales too because they tend to have stuff like $10.00 of a $35.00 bill or w/e.

    TJ Maxx and Marshalls and Target for their sale workout items. I like to buy their long and lean tanks when those go on sale too. I've bought some workout pants from Walmart that have last me for a while.

    TJ Maxx had an enormous rack of workout stuff last time I was there a few weeks ago. Cheaper and better than most stuff at Target, too.

    I went to some fitness stores. Yoga pants for 60 bucks. bras for 45. Little thin black stretchy shorts for 50. Just silly!

    I got the best pair of lightweight pants from kmart. They were on sale so I went back and got another pair the next day haha.

    TJ maxx/Marshall's or Costco. Right now Costco has some clothes that people swear are the same as Lululemon. You can find them in the stores or even online!

    At home I do Yoga in my undies - can't get cheaper than that! At Yoga class, I treat myself to some purpose made stuff from Yoga Matters (internet) - a little expensive but long serving. Sometimes you can buy cheaper but end up buyng twice.

    - or just work out in your undies!

    i'm actually surprised at the quality of old navy workout stuff these past few seasons. normally you look at old navy stuff and you get a rip in the seams, much less wash and dry it :laugh:

    i'm pretty rough on my stuff, and i've several pants from them that i bought several months ago that are still look OK. no holes, no see through butt etc. in fact the only reason why i'm retiring most of these is because they have gotten too big and no longer compress .

    granted i can't speak much about the workout tops since i dont really buy those from ON, but the compression capris and pants are pretty darn good for $25.

    I get a lot at Kohls, with their coupons. Old Navy has decent stuff too, and is on sale right now.

    I have found some amazing yoga pants at walmart. I only paid 13 for each of my two pairs that have lasted me for almost two years now. :)

    Gabriel Brothers and Wal-Mart are super cheap but still good. Old Navy, Target and Marshall's are a little more expensive but still reasonable.

    TJ Maxx, Ross, and Marshalls have a good selection and not expensive at all. I also like the Danskin stuff at Walmart.
