Have you checked out the clothing exchange?

Wow! I went to the clothing exchange page and I am so impressed by all the merchandise that is available, with pictures too! Check it out!! I just wish there were some size 12s out there. Such is life! Joy

I went to the Value Village in Tigard (99 off 217) the day before my trip to Hawaii. For fifty dollars I got outfits for my whole trip. I really couldn't have done better if I had bought them new at Meyer & Frank. The best thing was this adorable lime green leather & straw purse with the price tag still on it for $38. and I paid $4. Whenever I shop like that I come out thinking "I should always shop here" but then I don't. I will get caught up in thinking I am buying all sale items at Meyer & Frank and store like that, but they manipulate us into thinking that way and in the end we spend lots of money. Coming out of Value Village with five outfits, a silky robe and purse for fifty bucks is the true bargin. It does take some picking through, and I MADE myself try the stuff on because I can't be trusted to know what fits me these days. Patty

Hi Patty! Thanks for reminding me. I heard about Value Village. It's not far from my house. I haven't been there, yet. I will make a point of stopping by there this week. Are you ready for a get together sometime soon? Tee said that she's ready and I think that Peg would be ready. Yes, I understand about trying things on. I didn't, the first time I shopped, and everything was too big. What a wonderful lesson to learn! It used to be that I would buy things and they were too small LOL Joy

Joy, I must be very slow, but I can't find the clothing exchange! I can find where they ask if you want to donate, but not to see what others have put on a site. I know it exists because I once saw it...hmmmm.

Hi Ellen! You can find it under "Resources for post-op patients", on the main page. Here ya go! http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/members/clothingexchange/ Enjoy! Joy
