GirlBarb Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 I know that lot's of us bandsters struggle with money for clothes that will only fit us for such a short while. But I have an idea, how about using Goodwill and Salvation Army until you settle on a more permanent size. You will be helping out the less fortunite and can return the clothes when they to get too big for smaller sizes. You may not get a whole wordrobe, but you could find some peices to fill in with the full priced items. I just bought a lambskin coat for 12.99. Just a thought for us who are creative with the money.

Dontondan Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Garage Sales are even cheaper if you have the time to browse. I can get anything for 25 cents! I have gotten some beautiful clothing from garage sales. I buy several sizes so I have some to shrink into! Much cheaper than Goodwill or Salvation Army stores.

mona-camille Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Even e-bay. My sister has gotten some gorgeous items for under $5.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittycat Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 That's what I do, here in Canada/Ontario we have Value Village, it's a thrift store of the Canadian Cerebal Palsy Assoc...I donate my clothes, they clean them and put them up for sale for a minimal fee...I also buy clothes there, they have some great stuff!!!

Phoenix Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 I'm a fan of consignment stores, too. If you need corporate wear, you own it for a while, take care of it, and take it back for re-consignment when you're too small for them. It's like low dollar leasing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julieburns Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 I love thrift stores. We used to have a Value Village right up the street but it had a fire and never came back. Much to my dismay.... I need to check out the garage sales too but don't have that much time on my hands since I work full time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
