ISO cheap winter clothes

[Krystal0528 118]

Hey everyone.. Just seeing if anyone is selling or trying to get rid of any clothes. Preferably winter attire (pants,sweaters,jackets,shirts) but hey I'm in Texas, so it's hot, cold, and rainy all in one day! Lol.. It really is though. I hate going to buy things at this store do to it being so expensive an I don't get to where but maybe 2-3 time before it's to big. Anything would be greatly appreciated. Sizes are below...

Pants/bottoms 14/16

Shirts/tops XL/L

Jacket XL

Thanks again..

Also I have tons of clothes that I don't fit anymore. Maybe we could possibly trade! I have lots of dresses an shirts ranging from 2x-3x and pants from sizes 17-24. Lots and lots of shoes to! My feet shrank:( and I have a very extensive shoe wardrobe! I have lots of 9 1/2 an 10's. I need 8 1/2 an 9s now!

I know some people don't like to shop at Goodwill--but I do. I found a really cute jacket which has a beautiful floral pattern on it. It's already getting too big for me--NOT that I'm complaining in the least. I've also shopped at Texas Thrift--don't know if they have stores outside of San Antonio.

I recently did a "closets flush" and took six huge garbage bags full of too big clothes to Goodwill. Now I need to get smaller pants again. My 18's are getting too big on me. I have to buy tall pants so getting pants at Goodwill is not always an option. I'm thinking of taking my 18 pants and getting them altered. I can get them done close to Fort Sam Houston for about $12.00 a pair. That's still cheaper than a brand new pair.

Unfortunately, you never know what you'll find at Goodwill or the Thrift stores. Sometimes I get REALLY lucky and find some brand new clothes with the tags still on them! IF you don't like the smell, launder them.

Another thing about shopping at Thrift stores is --it is more time consuming. You have to look through all the clothes to see the sizes. I've become quite the speed demon of putting on my reading glasses and thumbing through the clothes as quickly as possible to find the size. I then take a closer look and evaluate whether it is a good purchase. I've also bought things at Goodwill that were the "color of the week", (which are 1/2 off the already low price). They were actually too small at the time but I knew I'd "shrink" into them. WOW! Never in my life would I have thought I could do that!

Blessings,

Kathleen

Yup, Goodwill is my go to. I have to go there tomorrow and find some pants because my size 14s are getting ridiculously baggy. I've found quite a few new items too for great prices! I bought 2 Jones of New York suits - BRAND NEW for $10 each. They are a size 10, but I know that I will shrink into them too! lol I also love the Ross Dress for Less clearance racks. Putting forth a little bit more effort will get you some great bargains!

Krystal what part of Texas are you in? I live in Baytown and could really use the clothes for my daughter and I (until my surgury)

Hey bebe so sorry for late reply.. I'm not on here much anymore but try my hardest to check in at least once a week or every other week. What clothes are u interested in? The post above is when I was I'm 16's but now I'm in 12s an some 14s. I already gave my size 18 an up to family friends an good will. I will be having a new bag of 16's an hopefully 14's too before long, well as soon as I clean my closet an dresser out. I live in lake jackson which is about 25-30 away from pearland an south houston, but yea I know exactly where Baytown an pasadena/deer park is at. I Do a lot of worn out there;)
