Dress Well For Less Money

Good for you! I just love a bargain!

Once you bring new clothes home from the store, wash & wear them, they're not really new anymore, after a few wearings they're equivalent to items at the thrift store, which can be obtained for far less cost. Many very nice, even new, items are available at thrift stores. There's nothing wrong w/ saving $.

Your outfit sounds beautiful. You should include a picture so we can see the results of your "barg'in Shoppin"

You sound as excited as I do when I find a bag of clothing all my size, many with price tags, complete with jewelry and often shoes I can wear with other things. Since I can't AFFORD thrift stores anymore, and have finally gotten accustomed to being low income, I am not hard to please and just try for simple sheek? rather than what could have been shaggy sheek had God not led me right to the bags/boxes tossed by wasteful socialites in our area

Even if you don't want to send us a pic of yourself wearing the outfit, you could always just take a pic of the outfit on a hanger!

I say More power to you!! and remember every time you save that much money, take the amount the outfit "SHOULD" have cost and put that amount into your retirement acct.

A suggestion for getting really good bargains is to volunteer some time at a charity shop, you don't get paid cash for it but you do get first pick of new items and if you're really lucky maybe a staff discount. So it's a win - win situation.
