    Thrift stores are always good. Here in Wisconsin we have Goodwill, Salvation Army and St.Vincent De Paul. You could always check out rummage sales. I know that again here in Wisconsin there is always rummage sales. There are more in the summer than in the winter. If:smile: you are looking more for new clothes than slightly used I would say Walmart. Good luck.

    Retailers in general have been hit hard by the recession, I think the clearance rack in just about any store will yield some great bargains. BTW, congrats on having to buy a smaller wardrobe !

    Thank you. I plan on it just being a temporary wardrobe since I still have a lot of progress to make!

    Do you have a Kohl's near you? Just got 5 sweaters, a professional-looking tank, and 2 pairs of pants for $78. $30 of that was a splurge on a pair of Dockers, so it's possible to do better. If you can snag one of their 30% off coupons and shop the clearance (not always great quality) and especially the limited quantity racks (much better quality) you can find some decent things.

    I have good luck at Kohls and Goodwill. Goodwill is hit or miss sometimes, and takes searching, but I have been able to find great designer jeans there for $8. Can't beat that!

    Don't know if anyone said ebay but you can find lots of cheap used clothes on there.

    Goodwill. Goodwill is amazing. You have to invest the time to look around though. And you will probably have to go more than once. But I find that true of shopping in general. About half of my wardrobe is from Goodwill and it is name brands, New York & Co, American Eagle, Forever 21, etc. Plus if you plan on losing even more weight then you won't feel guilty for spending a lot on clothes for your in-between weight.

    I always go to my local salvation army store. They are much cheaper than a Value Village and at the store by me you don't pay tax if your total is under $50 (I'm not sure if they do that at all stores... I am in Ontario). Last time i went to the salvation army store I bought two pairs of workout pants, a pair of dress pants, a pair of jeans and a bunch of shirts for under $40.

    Otherwise check the sales racks/clearance racks of normal stores. When I was down in the US there were some great prices at Target on the clearance rack.. same with Walmart... however a Salvation Army store is usually less expensive.

    I refuse to spend much money until I reach my goal weight.

    Old Navy! They have great sales, and free shipping if you aren't near a store :)

    I was just at Anthropologie in University Square Seattle last Thursday on a business trip and bought an AMAZING dress for $20. I cannot believe it was so inexpensive. The girl at the register said they just marked down a ton a stuff to make room for spring. Now is the best time to scoop up fall/winter on sale.

    I live in Canada, so I am not sure what you guys have that we have... but: Frenchy's is HUGE here (second hand clothes). Or Walmart is inexpensive? Even stores like Suzy Shier and Blue Notes have affordable clothing.

    Use ebay and a sniping tool. I go through everything I want every few days then try and snipe it automatically for as low as possible in the last few seconds.

    I know in Tacoma we have a Goodwill outlet (not sure if thats exactly what they call it) its where all the clothes that havent been sold over X amount of time get sent to to be sold. The only problem with this is they are put in HUGE bins and you have to go digging. You pay PER pound (think its like $1-$2) but I have had great luck finding things in smaller sizes and just saving them until I lose enough weight. Last time I went there I found a nike pull over with the original store tags still on them! Nice to find a new $65 jacket and pay $1.75 for it :D!

    I think they also have one in the Seattle area but dont hold me to that. I would suggest if you wanted to go to wear gloves and have some time on your hands :)!
