Retail Sales
You’d think Times Square would be expensive but this is where I picked up a lot of my bargains. The majority of the shops have special discounts on some products or sales on, and it is an excellent way of picking up some of the latest trends for a great price. When I was looking around the shopping deals in New York, particularly with clothing, it is worth remembering that a considerable amount that they sell in America will not be sold in the UK. There is nothing worse than bumping into someone on the street wearing the same clothes as you.
Retail sales are also great when shopping in New York this Christmas; everyone loves a good present especially when you got it for a cheaper price than in the UK.
Consignment Shops
Consignment shops are similar to thrift shops however we thought to mention one shop in particular. BIS Designer Resale only accepts high-end designer clothes to resell and is in good condition; however, if your clothes are accepted and bought, you will receive 50% of the selling price. The boutique also sells some beautiful designer clothes for an excellent price so if you’re looking for a beautiful pair of shoes or designer handbag; this is the place to go.
With so many more excellent places to find discount stores in NYC, be sure to keep your eye out while walking around for brilliant bargains. Be careful though, you don’t want to over-pack your suitcase because the airport won’t be able to offer any bargains, but it’s so hard to resist!
