I did good will at 7.99 a pair of pants but dont buy  more than one pair cuz you wont be in it long. 
Also a lot of the support groups and luncheon groups do clothing exchanges.  Everyone brings their too big clothes and it's take what you want.

I am not post op, but  have watched others say.... Kohls ( especially on sale) , the Gap, JC Penny's , Dress Barn. Lane Bryant on sale as well.

There are  not any other thrift shops? We have GoodWill, St. Vincetn De Paul, to name a few.
Check with American Cancer Society-Discovery Shop.. the money goes for cancer research.

Our thrift stores here are like paying full retail price for something it is sad example, I went looking for a blanket for my dog house, A twin size comforter was 18.00 and it had a hole in it the size of texas, LOL I found my hubby some jeans and they were 20.00 a pair and stained , Does Kohls sell plus size? I never really looked before but will check soon I would love to go to a luncheon but hubby will not allow me to drive that far alone :-)

What size(s) are you looking for?  I have a ton of stuff that doesn't fit me anymore.

The Nor Cal Loser's lunch is my favorite shopping place and the price is right.  I also shop at WalMart for most of my tops and Costco, they have wonderful pants for work and great jeans too.

Hope that helps Susan.

Hugs,

I have bought a bunch of clothes at Fashion Bug.  They are owned by the same company that owns Len Bryant and Catherines and have extended sizes down to normal sizes so I have been able to shop there from the beginning.  They are always having sales and I have gotten so spoiled that now I don't like going anywhere else.  I have also had some luck with Marshalls, TJ Maxx and Ross.

Hi, I usually check out the clearance racks, at any store you could possibly shop in, like Target, Old Navy, Khols. I haven't paid full price for clothes since I had surgery, except a jacket I bought for last winter, and now that I have stopped losing, and just maintaining, I still look for stuff on sale or clearance. Hope you can find some nice cheap clothes.
