    Don't buy cheap leggings! (unless they're good ones on special)

    How much is cheap? I have no clue about the prices in the States.

    http://us.sportsdirect.com/ has some great sales every now and then. I personally love US Pro brand for workout tops.

    Try on a few brands in stores to check fit and transparency (underwear showing through is not a good look!) and then hit ebay. People give away/sell on gear when they change size.

    no money? steal.

    failing that go to the gym, go to the showers, take towel, wrap towel around waist, workout.

    This might prove tricky in the squat rack, however.

    The towel works as extra support for your air block, you can actually squat more with the towel brace.

    this machine however...*kitten* gets interesting.

    Victoria's Secret VSX - the sports bra's are always nicely priced. The pants have all different price points, but they go on sale often so just stalk your shopping cart till they do.

    I like Walmart for tops and the bottoms work for low impact. Their bottoms have no support though and my butt needs compression to contain the jiggle for running. I buy my running bottoms at Old Navy when they have sales. Sometimes I can find stuff in petite online which is a bonus. I wear expensive Moving Comfort bras and Dolfin swimwear, so I find those discounted on Ebay.

    TJ MAXX, they take top brands and sell for affordable prices. You can find a good pair there.

    I usually find a lot of discounted stuff on amazon (only from brands I trust already) or get it from Nordstrom's Rack or TJ Maxx. I don't know if I have ever paid full price for anything.

    +1 for TJ Maxx and Ross, they sell overstock and closeout name-brand items at a good discount. I also like C9 sportswear from Target.

    I'll never wear cheap leggings. I hate cheap fabric touching my skin. I will get little tanks from H&M for a few bucks or cut up a cotton t-shirt into a tank for tops. I don't like tight workout tanks hugging my belly but sometimes I'll find something I like at TJ Maxx or Marshalls for 10-12 bucks.

    Try resale stores if you aren't picky. I usually go for books but last time I was there, I checked out their clothes rack. I found a Calvin Klein yoga capri with tags on for really cheap.

    This machine is already naughty when your clothes are on.

    Maybe I should clarify... I live in central Nebraska and we don't have really any of those stores. The nearest old navy and target are about an hour away but I've never tried TJ Max. I'll have to try there

    Mainly Under Armour (can find a lot cheaper than their stupid full retail), soffee for shorts (good shorts for taller people), Inov8 and reebok for shoes. Most of those are probably not that interesting for women.

    Trash bag. It's pretty cheap and socially acceptable.

    And the matching pantaloons are very nice as well.

    I had brought some gym clothes from Kmart. The store was closing and was having a 50-85% sale. You guys should get some before they close out for business.

    Just remembered another one. I buy a lot of cycling clothes from eBay. In the search filters, be sure to limit results to "new with tags". Setting the location to "North America" also helps filter out the knockoffs shipped from China. Good cycling clothes are crazy expensive, and I can find last year's styles and leftover souvenir event jerseys at big discounts.

    I haven't looked at it for general workout clothing, but it may be worth checking out.

    If you know your sizes just shop online for good quality stuff. Sign up for emails and you'll know about the sales. I never pay "full price".
