Been thinking thrift stores for a long time....around here all I could find were flannel shirts. LOL As for expensive...yes, 2 pairs of slacks and a shirt --- the clothes for hubby cost more and they were ALL on sale!!! we didn't go to Walmart! I'd been doing the cheaper way for a long time...been at this weight for 3 yrs so thought I could splurge...especially since I only pay $16.00 for my jeans!!!!
