Where did your parents buy your clothes growing up?

I was born in 1957, and grew up in the 1960s. Things like pizza from a pizza parlor were foreign to me. I was in College before I had a pizza parlor pizza. It was Chef Boyardee pizza kits or frozen store pizzas in my house. Money was too tight to spend on pizza parlor pizza.

OMGosh! Those Chef Boyardee pizza kits! That's a blast from the past. I remember that was all we had if we wanted pizza. They turned out so doughy, but we loved them. Thanks for the memory

They still make them. $3.87. I think Dominos starts at $10 these days.

My mother was an excellent seamstress and made many matching clothes for we four girls. After clothing prices really came down they came from Penney’s, then KMart, then mail order from Sears and Wards, then from the local store in our small town. Now I shop mainly Walmart and Costco. Dillard has some good clearance sales.

best i can remember it would have been primarily sears and jc penny. when i got into jr. high it was the pre designer jeans era but jeans, cords and a more feminine style of denim overalls became popular (osh kosh b'gosh)-those were purchased at the local army/navy surplus store. mervyns did'nt open in our area until my last year of junior high-after that i think the majority of teen shopping shifted there (the closest mall was almost 40 miles away so we stuck with what was local).

It was Chef Boyardee pizza kits

dude-you were living the highlife!!! no 'overpriced brand name' in our house-it was Appian Way pizza kits.

Parent (specifically): If brand new - Walmart or (a store that I think is/was only really in North Carolina) Roses. Mostly Salvation Army. Usually if it was new, it was because it was around Christmas and some organization had given her a gift card to get me something for Christmas (about ½ of the time, people provided the clothes and so they would just come straight to me).

Otherwise, my grandmother had a Sears charge card (my family was American poor - so, this was a big deal). And every August, she'd take each of the grandkids still in school to buy clothes (I think that it was probably one outfit each). For a couple of reasons, I ended up with a winter coat (I don't think other grandkids did). And then,
