So, I am going to an ugly christmas sweater party this weekend. Going because it is my best friend and his wife who are throwing the party. Not a big social guy, but feel like my wife and I should go since we are all friends.

So I do not yet have a sweater. Any suggestions on where to get a CHEAP one? Not paying $30, $40, $50, $60(!) for an "ugly" sweater.
Any of you have one you want to send me before Saturday? Accept paypal?

check out any Goodwill places, they have plenty of this kind of stuff.

Salvation Army, it's donated for a reason and will be $3. Washing machine required.

Uglier the better, a buddy added actual christmas lights to his last year.

Thrift store.

Also, I think the department next to mine is having an ugly sweater competition right now. I'm not sure and I refuse to ask. I have to assume it is about one step down from asking some lady if she is pregnant.

My wife and I discussed this last night. I would wash it about 5 times, then burn it once I was done wearing it.

I bought a second hand sweater last year and sniped a pair of golden corduroy pants too. Bought a bunch of felt festive patches (snowmen, C-mas tree, giant ass snow flake, etc.) and stuck them on. Then got a pack of 50 multi-colour bells and sowed about 25 of them on too, not only was it ugly but annoying as well.

Salvation Army or other thrift store. Also try TJ Maxx, Marshals, or ROSS

1. Go to a thrift store and buy a tacky holiday themed sweater

2. Buy some Christmas lights

3. Wrap a bunch of Christmas lights around the sweater and figure out a way to power them via batteries

4. ...

5. Profit

But seriously, someone at work did this at my last Christmas party and won the tacky sweater contest quite handily.

They may think it's a lame sweater at first...

Wait and see how quickly they'll change their mind when they see it's a OMG AWESOME TRANSFORMER!

I mean if its that ugly sure. I doubt you need 5 washes, I highly doubt it will be that bad. I normally give a salvation army goof outfit (great for theme parties really) a wash, maybe two. I know you're probably kidding but it's the salvation army you're not picking it up on the ground outside.
