Who loves Marshalls, Ross, TJ Maxx, etc.?

Otherwise you'll find yourself back at the same store a couple of months later to buy the same thing over again!

Good point - when I go to off-retail stores, I usually stick with big-name brands I'm familiar with.

I guess I should thank my mom and sister for my automatic, frugal personality. I HATE shopping of any kind. Hence, I can't "like" even these cheaper places because I do not like going into stores (particularly clothing) and buying anything.

What I wear for clothes, as unbelievable as it sounds, are things that have been given to me mostly by family members and girlfriend (exes too). That includes my boxers, pants, undershirts, shirts, flip flops, socks, shoes, everything.

When I was a kid, I was dragged to the mall with mom and sis and I had to suffer waiting for the two of them the entire time. I'm glad that killed any desire I have to shop!

Well, you certainly can save a lot of money if you just don't go to the stores at all! If you are anti-store, try checking out EBay. If you know what brands/sizes you need, you can score some amazing deals!

these are all great places to find killer deals. I usually go to Nordstrom Rack to buy shoes and clothes. Great Quality.

I also use a website called shop it to me, where you can pick types of clothes and brands you like, when they come on sale they email you. You can also get weekly sales, but you need to control yourself and only buy what you need and not impulse buy.
