I hate buying clothes and always have. I'm also extremely thrifty. So I have no interest in buying a complete wardrobe in every size I lose. I haven't figured out how many sizes I'm willing to buy before I get to my goal. So when do you buy new clothes? My pants are falling off of me and held up by a belt but I'm not buying anything for summer until next Spring.

Re: So when do YOU buy new clothes?
Almost NEVER. They are either given to me new, or given/bought/saved from my thin ages (like WAY back). Thrift stores and eBay have come in handy, too. ...AND I am NOT saving the "fat" clothes as I grow out of them!

Re: So when do YOU buy new clothes?
Goodwill has '$1.49' sales for anything on a hanger for a few days at the end of each month. That is when I shop. At that price, I can even 'buy ahead.' Bought a great red dress for church in a 14 for winter. But no, not buying a whole lot of clothes!Comment

Re: So when do YOU buy new clothes?
Hmm, that's a really good strategy, going to a thrift shop. Most of the time I go, they have nothing but if I did it regularly, I'd be able to find stuff in advance and if I never get to use it (wrong size for that season), I wouldn't be out a lot of money. That's another major disincentive to buying a lot, if I'm only going to wear it for six months.Walk cheerfully upon the earth, and let your lives speak.
