I have put on weight since moving to Colorado, and needed new clothes for summer. I have started to take off a few pounds via common sense changes, but don't want to buy new clothes for a project which will take about 6 months, since I like to do this gradually and comfortably. I decided I would keep an eye out for some nice summer clothes at garage sales and this morning, I struck pay dirt.
For the princely sum of $9, I got 4 pairs of comfortable cropped cotton slacks, and 3 tops. Only one top to go, and two outfits are interchangeable with what I already own. Summer shopping done except for the sandals.
Yeah!

What a great deal!
My grand daughter (5) and I spend our summer looking through garage sales. She and mummu know the value of buying a stuffed animal for a quarter!!
Yeah, a lot of folks have tons of good clothes up for grabs. Just plan to be a little open-minded. Have a general idea of what you want, i.e. slacks and capris, rather than specifics like two pair black and two pair blue. Happy hunting!
To take in the waistband on a pair of pants that are temporarily too big do this. Make a slit on the INSIDE of the back waistband near each side. Thread a piece of 1" or wider elastic through and pin it on the INSIDE short enough to take up an inch or two of the waistband.
