Money saving tip of the day

So, being a fitness instructor I teach 3-5 classes a day and go through a TON of clothes during the week and need a gajillion pieces to make it through the week with only doing laundry once. I just realized that a boy's large/Xlarge (depending on the make)is the same as a Women's small!!! Go figure - I have been paying $20+ for pants/shorts in the women's section and I could have been paying $7-10 if I shopped in the boy's section!!! I could never fit into any type of top for boys, my shoulders are too broad and yeah, well I have a chest, so that doesn't work, but jog bras are less than pants so I can deal with that. The same holds true for sneakers. If you are a woman's size 8 you will be a boy's size 6. I should have figured this out long ago because back in the day when I had to match my sneakers to my outfit and collected them like crazy, I worked at Olympia Sports and used to buy the boy sizes of Barkley's and Jordan's all with my employee discount. There is a 2 size difference in shoes so if you are a women's 8 or under you can totally check out the kid's section and save some serious cash!!!
