    Thrift stores, charity shops, stuff like that. Just look through and find what you like, if anything. It's easier to shop there too, there are fewer people.

    Also don't forget about the outlets like TJ MAX and ROSS and the many others. I just spent time yesterday in those stores buying us cloths and shoes. I have a black belt in shopping! I also like thrift shops and yard sales too. Anyway have fun looking! June

    What on earth is a giro?

    Anyway...yeah charity shops can be good, your basic clothing items cost like...a fiver? Underwear I recommend like, tesco or any of the big supermarkets. Good old self-service tills! Plus you know, 5-pack undies for cheaps is always good!
