Any recommendations for cheap ties? Ross, TJMaxx, Marshall's? How many should I get? 7 and rotate for three weeks and mass dry clean them? I've been using one tie for a while
Thanks.

And how in the hell did you make it this far with only one? That's failing at life in my book...Cripes...you should have asked for ties for holiday gifts.
Are you guys serious about never cleaning your ties? That feels so dirty.
I'm going to visit Marshall's today for cheap ties.
I had to teach one of my buddies how to tie a tie at the start of third year... then give him a handful of my old ones b/c the only one he had was a looney-toons tie and his first rotation was OB/Gyn.
If you are actually trying to live like a med student, go to Savers or Goodwill. If you're willing to sift you can usually find pretty new ties, and at $1.99 a pop you really can't beat it.
Let's not go overboard, here. Once you start medical school, you will see that loans do cover new ties...lol..you don't need to go through 'the best of the 70s' tie collection that someone donated when his father died.

Honestly, Walmart has some real nice ones for $10 or less a pop. I wouldn't buy any other dress clothes there (shirt, pants, etc), but the ties are actually really solid (good colors/designs).
I've gotten several compliments on some of these ties.
Century 21 has some great ties for about 10-13 bucks a pop! Someone mentioned Walmart which does have great prices for ties but they all have an obvious cheap-tie look to them (if that is something that concerns you). Also, the quality sucks. The stitching from the one tie I got from that store is already disintegrating.
Men's Warehouse is having buy 1 get 1 on everything in the store. Some of the ties there are $20, too.
You're doing it wrong.Seriously wow just go to Ebay and ties are 2 dollars from China. Silk ties, skinny ties. Free shipping too. 20 bucks on a tie you must have a lot of loan money to spend.

Good for you on the cheapness end. I just consider skinny ties to be trendy and not professional. YMMV but most attendings are of an older generation.Its called having less loan money to pay back with interest. I am doing it right and with a nice saving in the end.
I am not a giant so I don't need regular ties to hide me. And I can't work bow-ties like you apparently.
Everytime I go there I get suckered into buying ties and the ones I like are always way more expensive.
I've gotten some very nice ties at Kohls but really, I just kind of keep my eye out whenever I'm going around town. I've even seen ok looking ones at walmart.
As far as the dry cleaning thing, I must have lucked out because the place I went to was awesome with it. I had one get in my dry cleaning by accident but they did a solid job. I then took a bunch of them at once and never had issues. It probably depends on what clientelle frequent that business though.
It would be a lot easier to wear a neutral color like white so that you can pretty much use any color tie. Me personally I have combinations that would go well with different color slacks and shirts. You gotta be smart about it. Where to buy the tie depends on your budget and whether you want designer ties or just something to add color to your attire. I got most of mine from Express when they are on sale or at a department store like Macys
Haha, I think I'm the guy who gets pegged as "Oh, he's not buying ****. He's just gonna walk around, look at stuff, tell his wife he doesn't need anything and leave."I can attest to this.
This is the man who the salespeople at men's wearhouse have pegged as a sucker - I.e. "I'm just looking for a tie" then walks out with three shirts, two belts, four ties and a half dozen pairs of socks.
