Inexpensive Bras, A Simple Tip

Hey there, just a tip for the girls.

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p> </o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

Yesterday I was at Big Lots (Yes, Big Lots) looking for a few inexpensive bras. I normally pay about 6 dollars for brands like Vasserette, Delta Burke, and others there. I’ve been lucky in the past to find some exactly in my size, but this time I didn’t.

I was looking at a few sizes smaller than what I’m wearing now. I told myself I will need these as I lose weight, but it’d be a waste to buy them now. But then….they were so cute and there are no guarantees that they will be here when I need them. Then it hit me.

BRA EXTENDERS.

<o:p> </o:p>

It’s so simple really. I’ve done it before for this super awesome bra that was perfect for an outfit. I don’t know why it never occurred to me again until now.

<o:p> </o:p>

So, I walked out of Big Lots with three frilly bras normally priced at $28.00. I spent $18 there and $.088 a piece for extenders at Wal-Mart. So, I spent a total of $20.64 for three bras when I would have normally paid $28-36 for a single bra at Lane Bryant. When you get down to it, it was even cheaper than buying three JMS bras at Wal-Mart ($11.00 each).

Anywho, I figure as I lose weight I can remove the extenders when the bras I just bought fit right. I can then reuse the extenders for the next size down and so forth.

<o:p> </o:p>

Hey, if you’ve got the cash to pay 28 bucks for a bra you’re only going to wear for a short while then have at it, but if you’re like me, this is the way to go. ~Panda

Smaller breasts get cuter bras!!! I've always noticed that and now I'm getting into C cups and I already have more choices. You will, too!
