OT - Big Sale at Penningtons
For those of you who are losing weight (or will be) and don't want to spend a lot of money on new clothes that you'll be too big for soon (and you don't want to keep depending on Value Village) Penningtons has a great sale on spring/summer clothes right now. 50% off the lowest price tag of sale items! I got 2 tops, which would have originally cost me about $75, for $25 - and I bought them at Size 1X instead of my current 3-4X. So looking forward to putting them on this summer (surgery and God-willing)!!
PS - They also sell a type of "Spanx" there. Looks exactly the same. If you go to www.penningtons.ca you can see what they have for regular shopping. They're called "Shapewear".

MY RNY DIDN'T FAIL ME - I FAILED IT.
I love Value Village. At home we call it V-squared Boutique. The clothes are inexpensive and Earth friendly (being not new production).
Since my surgery will be May 26, my plan is to make a few XL skirts with elastic waist bands (I currently wear 2x-3x-depending upon spandex quotient) and tighten the elastic as I shrink. Then I will buy new pants in the fall. This is absolutely THE PERFECT time of year to do this.
I also have BAGS AND BAGS of clothing ranging from size L-2x. I should be fine for clothing.

I hit the sale at Pennington's too & got a lot of great things for summer and they were such great prices! Plus, for ever $75 you spend, you get a coupon redeemable in June for $40 off your purchase - so it ends up costing you only $35! I love Value Village too but our local store recently had an infestation of bedbugs and now I'm too afraid to shop there. There was a story in the paper about it and one of the cashiers showed my sister & I a bunch of bite marks on her inner arms that she claimed were from sorting out merchandise in the store. I just don't want to take a chance on that........

I wasn't trashing V2, I was just using them as an example of recycled clothing. Sometimes you just can't find what you want, so a sale like this is a good opportunity if you need something quick.
Winners is also good for stuff on sale. I found a pair of lilac jeans for my daughter marked at 70 cents! The checkout lady said they must have been mis-priced but since that's what the tag said, that's what I got them for.
