Nancy ~~ have you tried Goodwill. We have one in Oelwein and just about all the pants/shorts and nicer tops are $3.50. I can get other t-shirts for $1. While I was "actively" losing I did all my shopping there. You can get some great things and lots of name brands. I think Jesi shops at the one in Dubuque. She might have some pointers for you. I just bought a bunch of jean shorts a couple weeks ago. And the great thing is there is such a turnover if you don't find anything today - you just wait a week and go back again!! Janie

I second Janie. Try Good Will or consignment shops. I stopped at Good Will today & got 2 blazers, 1 pair of pants, and 5 sweaters for $28. I think every one of the sweaters were brand new or almost & the blazers were really nice name brand ones. I need something warm to wear to work as it's cold in the computer room so the sweaters get lots of use. I get almost all my clothes at consignment stores or stores like Good Will. I draw the line at underwear though but even get swimming suits used. A good new suit costs anywhere from 40-65$. I buy them used for a couple dollars. Dixie

Morning Nancy, I agree with the girls, Goodwill or consignment shops. Then trade them back in for "new" clothes. I just went "shopping" yesterday, we have a place where you can get free clothes. Any clothes I get from there I turn around & give back when they are to big for me. Much cheaper! Are there any locals there that have had surgery you might be able to swap clothes with? Hugs Carolyn

thanks all for your replys. I do shop at Goodwill, we have a brand new one with a ton of clothes, I was there last week and found 2 pairs of pants, got home and tried them on and they are too tight yet, I should try them again,I know they do have a big turn over. thanks again Nancy
