I bought "new" clothes everytime I went down a size. Not an entire closet full, but at least a new pair of jeans..I shopped at second hand stores!! I went to the Goodwill and would only spend about $3-$4 for jeans, $1-$2 for tops!! It would only take $10 to make my entire week, I used to spend that much on McDonalds or Pizza!! The money went to a good cause too!! I am still cleaning out my closet!! It feels soooo good!!
