Default I want to go shoppiiiiiinnnng!

I'm whining because I want to go shopping so bad! I'm getting coupons for jeans that look comfortable and look like they might actually fit, and coupons to put towards purchase of any clothing. I just don't want to spend any money on any new cloths, especially pants, until I am closer to goal. There is just no point in buying anything now, when I have plenty to wear until then. Maybe I'll check out the clearance rack with the clearance coupon. That might satisfy my "craving", while not overspending.

Just a mini vent. Carry on.

My local thrift shop has pants for $1 and shorts for .50. If you have something like that close by it may ease your shopping cravings without breaking the bank...

Singing: "I'm gonna pop some tags only have $2 in my pocket...."

Yea, I went and browsed, didn't find anything I couldn't live without. Sometimes just looking can help take care of that.

I am the exact same way! I want to shop but I hate wasting money, and I try to reason with myself... "only buy what you need" because sooner or later this body will be history and I'll have to buy new clothing again.

Mrs Snark, I love thrifting! But I find it hard to find any pants that are the right fit for me.

Sometimes at the thrift store I find pants for a dollar that look cute at the top but are waaay high-water at the bottom. Since they are only a buck I end up cutting those suckers into shorts. Yippee!

Yep, Same boat. I wear some stuff that's way too big, too, because I hope to skip sizes on the way down. Inevitably, if I plateau and give in and buy stuff at a size, I shrink after that. Ha.
