I so feel you on this!  I finally broke down and bought new bras the other day.  They were having a half off sale, so I bought my current/new size as well as the size below.  I'm now on my last pair of wearable jeans.  I'm thinking of trying discount stores like Ross or TJ Maxx.  A few people have recommended Sal Army, so I just need to break down and give it a go.  I just have no clue what size I am now!  I dont want to have to buy a new wardrobe every 2-3 months!

You should visit the local GOODWILL like you visit your local supermarket.  Cheap way to go, I know I will be their more often next year and I don't have problem at all with that.  I have find some really good quality items.  The smaller you are the better!!

The nice thing about Goodwill or Thrift Shop clothing is that it usually has been laundered already, so you know it's not going to shrink after the first wash!

I bought a LOT of clothes from Thrift Stores, while i was losing weight.  It simply does NOT make sense to purchase new, for something that will only last a few weeks.

I also donated a LOT of clothing, and every one of my largest sizes found someone that needed clothing that big (I was wearing a 5XL Shirt, and 64 inch waist pants).

Even if you are rich, it is still wasteful to buy all new for interim sizes.
