Just was wondering where everyone got their workout clothes, especially for good prices.
I went to Walmart last night to buy some new workout pants/capris. The ones I wanted, I think by Lycra, doesn't show all the sweat in the back, were on sale for $14.:nono: That just seemed like a lot for some workout clothes. However I did find sports bras in a 3pack by Fruit of the Loom for $9.
The last time I bought a lot of workout stuff I got it at Sam's club and for a good price. But like anything out of Sam's you have to catch their stuff, cause one week it will be there and the next it's gone. Also, sometimes JCPenny has some good ones on clearance, just gotta search for them.
So where do you all prefer to shop for these clothes?

I agree---workout clothes seem so high to me.
I get mine at Target (still high)---a workout bra is $16-$18 and the pants ~$24:ohwell:
What part of Walmart did you see the 3pack of sports bras? With the workout stuff or with the bras? I'm loving that deal!!!:grin:

From what I've seen, I think that was actually a really good price for workout pants.
I have a hard time finding cute workout clothes at reasonable prices also :ohwell:. I went to Dick's Sporting Goods last week though and found some Nike Lycra shorts and tops to match. Each item was on sale for $15. I doubt that I will find anything cheaper than that anywhere else.

I go to the outlets and buy sport bras and running shorts and socks on sale. Also, $14 for a sports bra is pretty cheap. At Target you can get a Champion Sports bra for $16.99. That's a very good price because it's not just cotton, it's made of the dri fit material that wicks moisture away from your body. Oftentimes sports bras that wick can cost $30 or more. Also, the cheaper your workout clothes are the more often you'll have to replace them (depending on how often you workout). Sweating and laundering causes the fabrics to breakdown and clothes can become thread bare quickly if they're not made well. Investing $15 - $20 in some workout pants, sports bras, and workout tops once every year or two is much better than spending 10 bucks or less once every three months.

You could also try TJ Maxx and Marshalls. I've done good in there.

I wait for mine to go on sale. I've gone through a couple sizes this year, so I've had to get new pieces couple times. I like target for cheapie stuff, gapbody is a good line that has alot of sales, and a specialty shop for race wear. Also Steve and barry's when I was near one is awesome for workout stuff since all the stuff is under 9.98, you can get a bunch of tee and pants, and shorts, and the quality isn't too bad.

Walmart...I saw the 3 pack of sports bras for $9 but I only bought one. I spent about $24 for sports bra, pants, and a top.

The sports bra's were over by the underwear and socks.
I went to Target a few weeks ago to look at their clearance for workout clothes, I spent about an hour trying to find them. Then I asked this girl, and she directed me to a small rack with clothes that looked like sleepwear.:nono:
bLackButtaFly: I'm with you on going through different sizes in a short amount of time. That's why I dont want to spend so much on them, only to be in them for about a month or so.
I'll have to stop by TJ Maxx..I always forget about them, Steve and Berrys too. The only thing I dont like about SB is some of their stuff you have to be careful about how you wash and dry it. lol You might end up with some baby clothes if you're not to careful.
