For bras is has to be "Off the Peg" in Dingwall. Locally owned shop- far superior to M&S in the quality and fit. Not a tapemeasure in sight - they just look at you and know what size you are. They also keep a record card of what you've bought.

I hate shopping (unless it's for yarn) so the majority of my clothes come from freecycle/freegle, charity shops or are hand me downs from friends. They know not to get rid of anything until I've had a rummage

stuff other people don't want,skips and bins [amazing what people chuck out.]
new underwear M&S, socks Tesco or Asda.
Shoes and footwear is a problem cos I have big wide feet so end up with mens mostly.
I knit jumpers hats mitts and socks for myself.
Charity shops for jeans and T shirts.
Market stall for cheap thermal T shirts.
