Compared running shoes, running attire is relatively inexpensive in the long run (you can wear it
for thousands of miles, not hundreds)

You don't need a 1 week supply of tops -- a good running top should line-dry overnight, you can hand
wash or rinse them and they'll be dry the next day.
For that reason, I prefer to buy something a little more expensive, but only buy 1.

Since we're on the subject of good places to get winter clothes online:
insport.com have some good deals going, the clearance section has a number of items at half retail
price or less.
Same is true for rei-outlet.com (I recommend doing brand searches for SportHill, Sugoi, Hind, Moving
Comfort, Insport, Pearl Izumi)
