Curious after I saw that other post about the gal's new bra. Are yall frugal when it comes to bras/underwear etc etc? Do you pay extra because you feel it's worth it? Where do you buy?
If you're a larger size, where do you get your "frugal" bras? I swear I get sick of paying upwards of 60-70 a bra!:shake:

~I try to get overstocks/outlet stuff on Ebay. I can buy my fancy shmancy $50 bras for less than $20 that way. DH always gets me a little pink gift card for my birthday which I use for something fun and some 5 for $25 undies. I can't stand cheap undies.~

I buy the $18.00 bras at Walmart and the .88 cent undies! :shhh:

 

[Ebbie]

Yes I'm frugal with both. I got my bras from my mother several years ago and I still wear them (very simple, no underwire or overly stretchy parts). I get my underwear from a dollar store...but they are actually very good quality. 1" elastic at the waist, gusset lining etc. and hold up well to washing.

Wow - I was starting to feel really cheap when I see some buy bras from 50 dollars and up.

As for myself, I buy them at Walmart for about the price that Dolphin pays.

Come to think of it - I desperately need a new one so I guess I'd best write it down so I don't forget again this coming month to buy one. :lol:

Do people still wear underwear and bras??

The most frugal method (and the healthiest) is to go braless! And to heck with the undies.. I mean.. really the thongs cost more than ever for a small patch. You've weaned yourself that far.. might as well wean all the way... you won't notice the difference.
THAT'S Frugal.

Once a month doesn't apply.



If you have to wear a bra cuz you're flopping... your breast health is important. A good fitting, well constructed bra is essential for everyday wear.
If you want to have a naughty bra and it's not going to be used for support or for very long - go with the walmart sexy look- but otherwise - don't scrimp on an important detail.

As for larger breasts. Lady Grace, Cacique, lane bryant are good sources.

Ugh how I wish I could wear WalMart bras. I rarely see them above a D. Lane Bryant is rather pricy but still not too bad I guess.
I've tried VS bras but their DD is really small it seems. I don't know if their products are just cut smaller or what.
Ebay is a really good idea.
Underwear by the way for me is bought from walmart for an average of about 2.00 a piece so I'm pretty cheap on that.

 

[angelbumpkin]

I absolutely must wear a bra. I get mine at Lane Bryant. As for undies I get them at walmart.

 

[McD]

I usually buy mine at VS during their semi-annual sale but they last me for years.

 

[heartofmine]

I only buy Playtex but I always watch for a sale. JCPenny is really good about having sales on them. The last time I bought them there they were less than $13.00 each. I have to have a good bra because I need the support. For undies I usually buy the packages from Wal-mart. I usually wait for a sale on those too.

 

[tbs727]

I'll buy Hanes undies, but I have to be much more particular on bras. I'm pretty busty and I try to wear minimizers. Sometimes I can find a good bra at TJ Maxx, otherwise I'll order online.

I buy the cheap ones, they make better double barrel slingshots :couch:

Mwahaha...I have pictures somewhere of Wesley wearing my bras on his head. Will have to upload.

 

[sdrjeolsen]

I go cheap on here too.

 

[inneedofhope]

I wish I could go bra-less! But, alas, I am large. I have found some good dept store deals for around $15 that fit well. My mom is so good about hand washing to make them last, but I haven't been so good about it. I restock about once a year. I usually go with the package undies, though. Not too expensive.

 

[Tamerama]

This is my favorite bra. I am a 34DD and it works WONDERS!! http://www.onehanesplace.com/webapp/commerce/command/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=1617769507
and I generally buy clearance cute undies at Kohls..

 

[lisettelovebug]

I wear them out. Dh has to drag me to the store to get more. Bras are just sooooo expensive and I really do not like spending money on myself that I could pay off cc's with or save.

I did find a good place to find a bra. Kohl's has some cute ones in their junior's bras and they are just as good as the ones i buy from jc penney. the last one i bought for $10 on sale.

 

[Marie78]

I have had the same 2 bras for 3 years and I have 3 bras that are really old. I can't even remember what I paid for each one, but knowing me they were under $10 a piece. As for undies, I buy them once a year at VS. I use my $10 off birthday coupon they send me and I buy 5 for $25 and then only pay $15 total . They seem to last a long time and I get a new 5 pairs each year.

 

[MommyBliss]

No, I'm not frugal at all on bras. I am generously endowed and have to pay a little more for good bras.
