Hehe, how many segments on shopping are there in this log?
I still have a line on a brand new DeWalt 18v hammer-drill for $160, if I were to bring cash. The problem is that it's a big monster and I'm wanting something more compact.
I got a Stanley Fat Max contractor's toolbox on sale at Menard's. It's big enough to hold my drill and a reciprocating saw, if I were to get one, on sale of course.

Now, now - Stacey would definitely call you on that one. This from someone who still has stuff she wore 70 pounds ago.
(As money is tight I'll replace the pants/bras/undies and take in the tops for a while.) |

Congrats on the finds, Jane. You and I could definitely shop together. I go to the same places and mostly only buy on sale, too!

I love this idea. I have some nice jeans that are now too big and they are too nice to just go drop off at Goodwill and I am too lazy to sell them.

Oh my gosh.....I gave away dozens of jeans, dress pants, skirts.....it was really sad. 
Friends and family took what they wanted and the rest....well, someone got some killer deals at goodwill and are walking around looking fine.
Ginger, I am a great shopper! Would be so fun to do it together! Heck, even today I had the sales clerks in awe of my bargains and they wanted to know where I found them!

If anyone is short and wears a 27 or 28...I've got plenty of jeans that need giving away at this point.

I gave away a lot of stuff, too. But I have some jeans that I bought a couple of months ago that are now too big, which is a good thing except I actually spent some money on them.

When it comes to jeans shopping, that's when I wish I was shorter. It would make my life a little easier. No such luck. I dream of the day I am wearing that waist size, though.

I just wish I were a COUPLE inches shorter for the exact same reason, Ginger!
Right now, I have ONE pair of jeans that fit, but since it's summer I haven't been wearing jeans, so I'm just going to wait on that purchase. Jeans are the one thing that it's hard to find on sale because they are so damn hard to fit!

Yes, I know, but up here in rural New Hampshire, no one cares ... and I'm in shorts/T-shirts or a bathing suit most of the time. Why bother?! I did get some cute shorts that fit before I left ... and I bought a couple pairs that will fit in another two weeks. And I have a few pairs I have put away since I got here that no longer fit.

I don't think I'll be that small when I'm at goal ... my thighs and butt are the limiting factors!! I used to have sice 30 Levis that fit great when I was really skinny (right after my divorce) so that is the size I am guessing I'll get down to.

My treat to myself when I get close to goal is going to be to go to National Jean Company and buy at least 2-3 pairs of jeans that really fit me well, no matter the cost. That and new bras. And maybe a breast reduction!!

I'm digging the avi too, that hairstyle is very elegant.
I used to always just shop regular prices, but things change...my favorite place these days is a resale chain called Plato's closet. They have all my favs..lucky jeans, ann taylor, bannana for cheap. And, my ever-growing son can shop there too!
Your workouts look strong too...how are you liking this program now that you are at the end of stage one?
