The greenbriar primitive teaches social studies to 8th graders.

This statement never ceases to make me shudder!

[JohnnyReb]

And if you notice, she seems to be planning to go commando this semester.

Had a teacher here doing that. She would sit on her desk and flash the third grade boys. I wondered where she moved too......now I know. "greenbriar"- scaring little boy minds since 1983.

No s*it!!!!  Nowhere else but the DUmp could you find a moonbat elitist a-hole asking in one breath if the food is any good at the CHURCH run food pantries, and giggling "tee hee hee" over her retail shopping fun in the next.

Someone needs to screencap this stuff, along with the proud "DU has raised over $100,000 for Obama-Biden!" banner, and ask the annointed one if THIS is his base?

BO:  "Of course not.  Look, this is a very small number of extremists..."

"Uh, sir, this group is over "130,000" strong in their membership.  And they gave you a lot of money.  And you took it."

Except there aren't 130,000 members at DU.  That includes all the people that have been banned or just don't even post there, and moles of course.

I've also gotten a few simple sweaters from Target, pretty cheap. 

My style is pretty eclectic...I love Hot Topic and I hit the sales at Macy's...LOVE their shoes and handbags (there's also a local clothing store here that has KILLER stilettos and jeans for a great price), but most of my wardrobe is from Goodwill and Salvation Army. I see no reason to spend $40 for a sweater when I can get the same thing for $1. My Salvation Army has $1 tag sells everyday, last year I got a black motorcycle jacket for a buck. I couldn't believe it.

I hate shopping.  I hate going to stores and having to wade through everything to find just 1 thing I actually like.  I don't shop at Ross because you have to hunt, same thing with the Salvation Army (and it's near where I live too).

I'm and in and out kinda shopper.  I like the sweaters at Target, usually around $10.  I get most of my jeans and slacks from Old Navy.  I also have found some good buys on eBay.

I've never thought of buying clothes on ebay. I get my athletic shoes there though. I just got a brand new pair of RYKA N-Gage cross trainers for $38, including shipping. But I LOVE to shop. I can spend hours in Ross and Salvation Army.

Yeah, I bought a really cute wrap dress on ebay.  I do most of my shopping online if I can.  I hate digging for stuff at stores...no really I just hate all the other people that are shopping, they're always in my way.

Oh I know - that's why I used the "quotes".  But DU is so stinkin' proud of their bogus membership numbers, why not let the annointed one answer to it?

[mamacags]

I absolutely love Salvation Army and Goodwill.  Right now I am having issues getting the kids clothes there though.  One kid is overweight and in plus sizes and the other kid is in slim sizes.  They are hard to find there.  I got a whole bunch from a mom around here for free and since my son grew out of the jeans I found a great new home for them.  It sucks when your kid is a weird size.

I hit all the Salvation Army stores in the area. I buy Top of the line golf shirts and sell them on eBay. I make 2 to 3 hundred a week.

Walmart has a brand of jeans called Faded Glory that are $14.95 and fit great. Sam's has Smiths for the same price. I can buy them in my size and know they are going to fit. I can also throw them in the washer and dryer and they will still fit. I used to by Ralph Lauren jeans that after about 4-5 washings.....they were about 2" shorter. If I wanted short jeans...I would have bought them short!

Walmart carries White Stag ...when I was a kid...that was a very expensive brand. They also carry Ocean Pacific, Levi's, and Lee's. Dollar General has Bobbie Brooks....also what all the girls wanted in high school. I do like Ross's and Marshall's, too. I very rarely go into Dillard's or Belk's anymore. Ross's carries Ralph Lauren....at a quarter of the price at Dillard's.

The only time I buy 10 shirts at a time is if I've picked up a couple of packs of undershirts for M!!!

I googled Good Will and it certainly caused some controversy here: http://www.backwoodshome.com/forum/yabb/forum.pl?board=fin-frugal-living;action=display;num=1148152268

Charity shops here are very variable, I try and go to ones in nice areas as better stuff gets given away there. There is one though which has some branches as bookshops only and they are ridiculously over priced (and they've also already sold the best stuff on ebay).

42. Hmm! This makes your "I'm going to the food pantry" post a lot more interesting.
   
:P

I wish I had $400 to spend on clothes.  I usually shop at Old Navy and hit up sales. 

Would be nice, wouldn't it?  But hell, even on sale my jeans are $30, and long underwear for those slightly "brisk" mornings that drop to -15 or -20 with a -50 wind chill go $35 a set.   Mind you, this is at Kohl's, not Neiman-Marcus or some crap like that.

Meh.  Maybe she can hit up the "clothes bank".  I hear it's right next to the food bank.

[Lauri]

She spent $400 and did not purchase one suit.  How is this relevant to Sarah Palin again?

Sarah Palin cannot win this one; if she shows up in the same suit/skirt all the time, they'll call her a deadbeat who isnt sophisticated enough for the job.

She would be skewered by the leftie women in the media for wearing the same outfit twice.

She's already spoken too much about it.. she needs to let them keep making it an issue and she needs to move on.
