Holiday Clothing on a budget

VALM

What about Matalan? I may be facing this problem as well as I've lost 17lbs since Jan and have gone down a size. We go away in three weeks so I'll have to try my clothes soon and see what they're like. I know a lot of my t shirts feel really baggy now though. x

Another vote here for Primark - that's where all my holiday clothes come from - for me, hubby and the kids. If you have a Dunnes Stores nearby (though think they are only in Ireland) they have great clothes at a brilliant price. Asda and Tesco are all good for tee-shirts, shorts and swimwear.

Another vote for Primark. My Dad discovered Primark a couple of years ago and thinks it great for clothes for holidays, he can't believe the prices. They've always got cheap vests, etc. If you have any outlet stores nearby they might be worth a look - M&S or Next, you might find the odd gem in them especially M&S Outlets as they usually have a clearance corner where you pick up clothes really cheaply. I buy stuff for my nearly teenage daughter all the time as she is forever growing, great for all year round stuff for her.

Personally I find most of the charity shops by me are overpriced with their clothes but you can be lucky with the odd bargain - books are very well priced for my kids so I buy alot in them. You are cheaper for clothes at Primark I reckon.

Have a fab holiday, Egypt will be amazing!! My Dad was on a cruise down the Nile in Dec and said it was fantastic.

I agree with Primark, just wish i had a local one! I use matalan vest tops for £3 loads of colours and I noticed some crop trousers from £6 i think. I noticed a sale on in store too, so you should pick up some good prices. Hope you get what you need and have a great time. HTH
