For example business casual can mean different things at different companies, ranging from button down shirts and slacks to polos and khakis. Have enough clothing to make it though a week or a couple of days and then go shopping for clothing with the money you’ve saved up. This way you’ll be sure to fit in with the company’s culture.

Great suggestion. My entire company is business casual, but because I work in a lab setting, my group tends to stay closer to the "casual" end. I actually have a bunch of nice clothes that I needed for another job that I can't wear anymore!
