I think the last couple posts deserve a big "AMEN". LOL I agree. Even when my stbx and i were still together I was frugal. Brand name clothes are great but haven't you noticed that Faded Glory from Walmart and Route 66 from Kmart have actually started becoming "cool" clothes. I watch the clearance racks and snatch things up at awesome prices, I frequent thrift shops. (I can hear a lot of "ewwws" out there) but I see it this way. If it's made it to a thrift shop in good condition chances are it's well made and will hold up for awhile longer. It's a lot cheaper and there's nothing a little ammonia won't kill. Doing this has allowed my kids to wear things like Abercrombie, Aeropostale, Tommy Hilfiger, Ecko and other name brands and a mere fraction of the price. Noone knows where it comes from. I get my cleaners from the dollar tree, my laundry stuff from dollar general or family dollar, etc. It CAN be done, you just have to know how to manage it properly. When you are living on just under $20,000 a year and supporting yoruself and 3 kids it's a ver delicate balance of finances. Sure you sacrifice a lot on your own part and you may have to sacrifice some on the kids parts(so they don't get to go to EVERY birthday party) but in the ends it's well worth those sacrifices knowing that you made it on your own and have removed your kids as far as possible from a bad situation. Walmart is my best friend

lol Besides if someone looks down on me for where I shop then I say phooey on em, its their problem and their loss, not mine.

Slap yourself, that wasn't funny.
