    The clearance rack at Walmart as I'm cheap. But I love everything I've bought off of it, and it all gets a ton of use so I'd say it's a good deal.

    You can use body glide on your thighs to prevent chaffing.

    I'll second this. The stuff is a god send. Anywhere you experience chaffing, rub it on and done.

    Where do you find body glide in stores? Like what section of the store?

    I buy mostly C9 from Target or Xersion from JC Penny.

    I second Body Glide for chaffing. I find if by the check outs.

    Body Glide doesn't work well for me.

    I finally found some 2-in-1 running shorts in Walmart that weren't expensive ($9.96 per pair). They have the compression/spandex shorts underneath. I ended up getting 3 pairs. I have some pants already but I forget where they are from. My sportbras I splurged on at academy because I like them tight. Looking at the stuff at Walmart, it looked pretty good and I would have probably bought more but I have some running stuff already.

    I find the Danskin Now line from Walmart pretty hard to beat. I'd save my money for shoes and bras, personally. Most of the tops and pants seem largely the same to me, except for the price, with is pretty crazy sometimes.

    At Target I saw it with the fitness equipment. It was with the sports water bottles and running gear.

    I've gotten some cute workout gear from Fabletics. I love their leggings, though I think they are too thick/warm for the summer. I've gotten some cute tops. I've found their spandex/fitted items run true to size or a little small. Everything else runs really big.

    I got my first out for $25 and now I stick to buying stuff during their clearance/70% off sales.

    I usually buy mine out of Forever21 because they actually have pockets and a hidden key pocket

    I'll have to check those shorts out! Sounds like a steal!

    Does not compute; you can never have too much running stuff. Got myself a new pair of Saucony ISO Hurricanes #1 today at the outlet store. My current ones aren't quite yet ready for retirement, but I'm happy knowing their replacements are in the closet. Might have picked up a couple of Under Armor t-shirts too.

    I guess I'll be more specific. I would have bought more if we weren't budgeting and trying to dig out of debt and I wasn't the only one working full-time. lol.

    Victoria secrets workout clothes have been to best for me. The material, and the fact they don't fall off and are high waisted makes them the best for me. I tried fabletics and they were bad. Fell off while running. I don't wear shorts just capris and long length though.

    I like Aether Apparel stuff. Super chic and super functional.
