Hi!  I live Burnsville.  Anyone have advice on where I can get 18W and 20W petitie work pants (khaki's and dress pants) for cheap?  I'm also looking for shorts in this size.

On a side note, once I replace my existing pants/shorts, I'll have some 24W petitie pants and 22W shorts to give away :)

Scroll to the bottom of this page- 6.99 pants!  I bought a pair in every size so I'd have at least one pair as I head down the sizes.  :)

Or this plus size consignment shop is a bit of a drive-

Also, Savers is arranged by size, not color like Goodwill.  I just find it so much easier there to find stuff.  Good clearance everywhere right now on the shorts too.  Have fun shopping!

PS- I might be interested in your 22 shorts.  :)  I'm in Apple Valley- do you ever go to the Sat. coffee group down here?  We could meet at one of those sometime.

They have that Thrift Store down there, think it is called Unique.  They have all sizes and are pretty reasonable.  I have found lots of stuff there, but I do not know the exact address, sorry.  A few of us have met there after morning coffee on Saturday and went shopping!  Worth a look - especially if you keep dropping, I skipped right through the 18's pretty much, went from 20 to 16 then stalled for a while.  Hope to see everyone at coffee again soon, once the summer rush is over!

I forgot about Unique!  Back behind Buca across the street from Burnsville Ctr on the west side.

 I live in Hastings and found some pretty good deals at the Salvation Army Stores as well.

Thanks again for the suggestions.

Today my favorite shorts stopped fitting, so I finally dug up a needle and thread and took the waist in a couple of inches.  Doesn't look to bad, if i do say so myself :)

I was at Avenue this afternoon and they are having a HUGE 75% off sale incluing lots of jeans/pants and longer sleeve shirts for fall- pants/shirts for under $10.  If you're still in plus sizes, it's really worth heading over there while the selection is still good.
