My favorite place now are garage sales. It is end of the season, and people are getting rid of everything for cheap. The past 2 weekends, I have been paying $1 each for jeans/capris/shorts/sweaters/skirts/shirts. Some even 50 cents. The other great places are thrift stores. Savers, Goodwill, Unique, Salvation Army. Find out when they have half price day, or half price certain color tag days. I started at a size 20, now I am a 14/16. My whole wardrobe is from garage sales/thrift, and all brand/designer names. Just picked up a pair of Torrid capris for $2, which is the most I spent on one item. You can find a good deal on Ebay, but shipping costs will be a lot, and you will find out you are better off going to the thrift store, paying $3 for a pair of jeans/shirt instead. Also you can see them in person for any defects/rips/stains etc. Also check Craigslist! I do not like paying a lot of money for transistional clothing, especially if I will only be wearing them for a month or 2. Good luck!
