Thanks everyone!!  ALL great ideas!!

I won't be making it to Toms, sorry.  We're really in the dumps financially right now and we're laying low for awhile.

I'll figure something out, I'm sure.  Thanks for all the suggestions!!!

Don't forget family and friends.  For the past two years my favorite jeans are the ones my nephew gave me...he didn't want them anymore.  Try asking some close friends, (Yeh, it's a weard question) can I borrow some in between sizes for a few weeks, it really can help.  They should understand.  Brian

I'm currently supplying my neighbor with my bigger clothes but my friends are so tiny, I'd never fit in their clothes, lol  Don't have a real family either, just my Mom really, lol...

If I get one or 2 pairs of pants and a couple tops I'm fine for work.  I don't care what I wear there, just cant look like I rolled out of bed, lol

We're cleaning the garage this weekend too, I THINK I have some clothes buried in there, but not sure, I almost think I threw them out.... Guess I'll find out!

Go to Freecycle.org There are several groups in my area but they are always offering clothes. Some sites will want offer up something first some don't.

  I know what you mean. For a few months, my belt was the only thing keeping my size 16 jeans up. Then, I just went to the thrift store, and spent an hour trying on jeans (I didn't know WHAT size I really was). Well, to my joy, I am a size 8/10 - and this is before my plastics (lots of tummy apron skin). 
  I pulled out my sewing machine, and took in several things. Some had to be  taked in up to 8' . But, most are just too big, and too hard to do. They will have to go.
  I bought the smaller jeans, a pair of black slacks, and a denim jumper (I can wear some of the 'too big now' blouses underneath).
  The surprise for me was that my shoe size went from a 7 1/2W to a 6Reg. - my fat feet AREN'T, anymore.

  Enjoy it (it is the 'magic' of WLS).
