Where To Shop For Clothes



Recommended Posts

It's that time again, I've gone down another size and I have none of this size in my closet so I need practically everything. I have a few options here in my home town but was wondering if anyone else had any tips or suggestions on buying clothes...on a tight budget.

I ebay a ton for clothes and also goodwill. I hit up thrifts too.

For work I had to give in and buy special pants but I found them at Walmart for 13 bucks.

I am entering into same phase. I just hinted to my husband that all of my smallest sizes are now too big. He told me I should just tighten my belt...I wanted to slap him. Anyway, I will be hitting Goodwill, consignment shops, and sale racks at Target and Walmart. I am also considering taking some of my nicer things to the taylor at the local drycleaner. I was told that you can have jeans, pants, dresses etc taken in for very reasonable prices. Also, TJMax ad Marshalls are good bets, especially the clearance racks.

Yes, I always hit TJ Maxx and Marshall's, I can easily find shirts for $5 on their clearence racks. I also have been going to the cheaper stores such as dots, rainbow, ect. There u can find pretty cheap and trendy clothing, the clothes don't last long, but I really can't get much wear out of them anyway. I have 2 pair of work pants dark neutral and I wear them all week, and just switch up my shirts. Good luck.

I am at the same point.. No more shopping in plus size stores!!!! yayy!! I just got into my first pair of size 16 jeans from New York & Co and Old Navy(but only bought the NY&Co ones)... soooooo excited! I am only buying one pair of jeans/pants for work at a time.. and I am going to try and skip a size.. so instead of buying 14's next.. I may try and go for the 12s!! ahhhhhhhhhh could 12s really be next??? yaHOOOO!!!!!!

I have actually found that buying a couple of dresses and skirts are working better and longer than the pants for work. I particularly like the faux wrap dresses. I can still use alot of my tops with a plain a-line black skirt. I have shopped alot on line- there are great bargains there at places you wouldn't think of- like Wal Mart and Target. And Penneys has done a complete makeover and their prices are quite reasonable.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
