4 work tops, 3 work pants (10s!), one pair jeans, one skirt.

Priceless.

No, wait, actually $60, but really really nice stuff.

My sister keeps telling me to go there. I hate shopping, and going through piles and piles of clothing looking for my size.

I want a place that I can take the clothes that no longer fit me and trade them in for other clothing. Not much like that around here.

 My Value Village has everything sorted by category (long sleeve knits, short sleeve knits, blouses, sweaters, pants, skirts, etc), and then by size.  I rarely make it through all the aisles before I know I already have enough stuff that I'm going to buy.  There is rarely anything that is stained, though sometimes stuff does look kinda worn out.  I just look for the good stuff (of which there is plenty)--sometimes with new tags on them.

And I miscounted!  It was 4 pants, a skirt, and 6 tops for $60.

I think I've spent less on replacing a whole wardrobe than I would have spent on just regular shopping in the last 6 months.

Right after my surgery, my husband and I went to Value Village and I spent about $75 on clothing to shrink into.  I recommend this, especially if you are good at "seeing" whether clothing is good for your body type.
