If you are still transitioning down to goal, I have two words for you: thrift stores. They were a godsend each time I went down a size. I found it is only necessary to buy one or two items at each new size because a lot of one's existing clothes can be worn slightly big and still look good. But pants need to fit well. So do shoes (I lost a size in my feet!). If wearing secondhand clothing doesn't appeal, you should be aware that most thrift stores also carry unworn items from impulse buyers who realized their mistake when they got it home (been there, done that) and brand new items donated from retail stores who want to write off unsold stock and get a tax credit.
Of course, once you're at goal and into maintenance out comes the credit card.... but that bill will be worth it! Congratulations on your success.
