on 5/23/2009 You nailed it; ways to pay less for new clothes. Did you know you can also buy brand name clothes, new with the tags still attached, for less, on ebay? Just search like: Liz Claiborne NWT sweater or Fresh Produce NWT dress. NWT = new with tags. We dont know (or want to know-?) how they get these and sell so inexpensively, we're just happy for the bargain price.
