    Buying all the best brands? Not so frugal. Picking through your neighbor's trash? Not so fabulous.

    These are great tips. I've never heard about buying the picked over clearance clothes in a bigger size and then tailor them to fit. Thanks for sharing!

    That works for the 'naked lady/man' party too! Sometimes I pick up clothes at yard sales or thrift stores that I know won't work for me but would be perfect for a friend. I spend .50-2.00$ and they have a great surprise present or a good item for a clothing swap!

    I already took #16 to my magnetic bulletin board (more of a display for my magnet collection, half of which weren't up anyway...). I just put away what wasn't up, instead of tossing them out, that way, I can change the look later.
