(Food-Beverage-News.Com, April 01, 2013 ) Sydney, Australia -- Over the past two years, Joanne Jackson has lost 80 pounds. That is truly an incredible accomplishment, and it comes with both aesthetic and physiological benefits. But that is not why the Allentown women called On The Cheap.
On her weight-loss journey, the former school teacher (now retired) discovered a fantastic way to save money on clothing. With an 80-pound drop, one does need to find new clothes. Finding a way to enjoy the new physique is something many forget to consider until they're faced with the pleasant, yet expensive dilemma.
"As men and women lose weight, they need new wardrobes to accommodate their new sizes," Joanne said. "You could just spend a fortune on new clothes when you're in the process of losing weight."
She found a great alternative: The Good-Buy Girls consignment shop at 1752 Allen St. in Allentown.
"I actually go there once a week to get new things and take back the things that are loose," Joanne said. "I'm getting in-style clothes that fit me without spending a lot of money."
Cosignment can work nicely for individuals losing weight due to the fact they may only need the items for a few months before it no longer fits. For those losing lots of weight, this becomes a necessary option, especially when funds are tight. One can return items that no longer fit and get half the money back of what the item was sold for.
Joanne found that the stressing over buying new clothes was a surprisingly difficult challenge to handle. Still, it was also exciting to return cosignment clothing, as it did provide her with proof of the positive effects of the diet and healthy lifestyle. It became part of her overall motivation to continue to lose weight.
The shop she frequented is owned by the Bethlehem resident Rose Ellen Moore, who became interested in cosignment shops when she herself lost 87 pounds. "When you're losing weight, you have to feel good about yourself or your not going to make it," Rose Ellen said.
Joanne estimated that she bought nearly 70 items, including shoes, jewelry, dresses and more. She estimated the total cost likely being around $6,000 to buy new, and that she spent around $450 in all.
