I am in need of some "new" clothes. I am only 40 of my 120 pounds down. I would like to get me some new jeans, tank tops, and under clothes. I figure for the jeans id try thrift stores. But the tanktops and under clothes I'm not sure where to get them cheap. As id like them new. I don't want to spend much since I have a ways to go and in 6 months they will probably all be getting to big. I've always been the girl to wear a tank top under my tshirt no matter what. I don't often wear them outside tho. With out them I feel naked. So I really gotta find me some lol. Any ladies find cheaper places to go?

    I love outlet stores. In my state, we have Bealls Outlet, where a bunch of department stores send the stuff that didn't sell. A pair of jeans brand name for $10-15 is pretty common, and tanks are less than $5. Selection varies obviously, but it is my go-to. Kohls and Kmart have sales all the time too.

    Do you have a forever 21 close by? They have tanks and jeans that are pretty cheap. jeans are 8 and tanks range from 2-5. My daughter loves them and they carry larger sizes too.

    I love the tanks tops at Family dollar. I usually wear a spaghetti strap tank under most things and ive found that the ones made by their company are actually longer than most and usually around $6 each. and sometimes you can find seasonal ones on clearance.

    I've mostly just been shopping sale racks. The worst for me right now is bras - nothing that comes cheap fits well, but I'd hate to spend money on new ones only to have them nearly useless within a few months (which *just* happened - bought a couple before I started losing, they still fit but just barely, ugh).

    Ross, Burlington, Marshalls, TJ Maxx, Walmart (always cheap for tank tops)

    All this but Walmart. We don't have one around (shocking, right?) and hit up Target more often than not.

    I find Loft is pretty figure flattering, too. And they have some good sales, every so often.

    My favorite for cheap staple clothing is Old Navy! I think I got a basic tank there the other day for something like $3! Given they aren't the best quality, but it's perfect for losing weight.
    Forever 21, Wet Seal, Torrid work as well. Places like Marshall's or Ross are also good, if you don't mind doing a bit of digging :) Good luck and congrats on your progress!!

    Clearance racks are my go-to! I look for sales everywhere I go.
    Gen X is my favorite for quality cheap tank tops and shirts. They have jeans too but I don't know what they are like, I don't wear jeans.
    I am not sure if you are opposed to used clothing but there is tons of options if you are open to that.

    Lol, I used to work at family dollar, that's where just about all my tanks came from! I used to buy them when I did the clothes markdowns! Best time to hit them up.

    Theres a goodwill down the street from my house I'm going to try for jeans. I never thought to look at walmart for tanks, there's one right beside good will. As for the other stores I've never even been in burlington but I keep hearing good things and I think ill have to check them out. Most of the other stores I've never heard of so ill have to google locations close by and check them out. I've never liked to buy clothes because its embarrassing going threw the largest area in the store and still not finding much. I hate the feeling of coming out of a dressing room knowing nothing you just tried on fits!

    Thanks ladies for your ideas!

    Old Navy currently have tanks and tees for $2 and dresses for $8 and even better, if you register for their newsletter they send you an email for 20% discount. I have several email addresses lol

    Sometimes department stores have big sale days and sometimes it even applies to clearance items. So that might be worth looking into.

    Walmart is always pretty cheap and their tanks are pretty cute. I got a shirt at Rue 21 for $3. They have a lot of cute things and great sales. That would be my suggestion.

    Old Navy always seems to have a sale on tank tops. Same with Walmart.
