Is there anybody else out there who buys 99 % of their clothes from a supermarket - or Matalan on a really good day?

Am always amazed at the what are you wearing threads...

the money you're all spending...

the effort you're putting in...

feel like I need to lie down

For the record:

Today I am wearing

black and white striped vest top from Sainsbury's over short sleeved black t-shirt (from M & S! Was present of MIL)
jeans from Matalan
shoes from Tesco's

My sister goes clothes shopping on a regular basis (cheap clothes - very cheap) and she has wardrobes and drawers full to bursting but she thinks if it's so cheap she can get new outfits for every occasion, weekend, holiday, cahnge of fashion or weather etc. Wish we had that option here in Germany!

I buy tops from Asda and the rest mainly from primark, it's all i can afford at the moment.
The only thing I spend money on is boots and shoes, although I use tkmaxx alot for those.
Most of the websites and shops are mentioned here are for browsing and daydreaming of the days before ds

But then it's also the time that would be necessary to source all these items.

Vast majority of clothes are hand-me-downs, ebay, that well known designer "George Atasda" & Primark. Indeed H&M or Dorothy Perkins count as a labels at the Wonka factory. I've even bought two pairs of Primark jeans on ebay recently, they were new and less than they would have cost in store, even after postage.

I have some stuff from Sainsbury's but I am currently wearing jeans from New Look and a white shirt from Wallis.
