New York City is a Shopper's Paradise
I
can't imagine many places in the world that have quite the number of shopping
options that are available to New Yorkers on a daily basis. It's hard to
imagine that there are people who actually have never felt the thrill of
getting that little extra percent off or finding a perfectly good second hand
piece for less than a quarter of what that item would have cost new. At the
same time, there are very few things that I can mentally justify paying full
price for.
Perhaps
this is why New York
represents shopper's heaven to me. There are so many consignment stores, used
clothes stores, vintage clothes stores, and the bargains don't end at clothing.
There is consignment furniture, house wares, even tools can be found at bargain
prices in very specialized consignment and second hand stores. Electronics and
appliances can be found in these types of stores as well. It's truly amazing
all the wonderful things that can be found at bargain basement prices by those
who are truly willing to look for them.
In
addition to the many consignment, second hand, and goodwill type stores that
you can find in New York City ,
there are also plenty of outlet stores that offer lower prices for last years
overstock or slightly flawed patterns. It's amazing the bargains you can find
when these stores have sales. paket wisata lombok piranti travel, Of course shopping your regular shopping malls
just after Christmas or a couple of weeks after school has started can also net
some very similar values. The real beauty lies in the fact that you can
actually go to these stores while these sales are going on and have wardrobes
for your kids for the next school year (provided some unholy sort of abnormal
growth spurt doesn't occur in the meantime).
If
shopping for you is more like a calling than an adventure then you should have
a great time just wandering around the many malls and shopping centers of New
York trying to get into your head the close proximity of so many wonderful
bargains and how everyone in that city isn't either filing for bankruptcy or in
serious hoc due to credit cards that are spent well beyond their limits.
Of
course my kryptonite is shoes. I have a very difficult time walking by a sale
on shoes even when I know the price isn't as good as it could or should be. I
love shoes, particularly Birkenstock's. You simply cannot buy Birkenstock's
second hand and even the sales prices on these shoes are more than you'd pay
for many at full retail. I once thought they were the ugliest shoes on the
planet and while I'll agree they aren't the cutest they are quite arguably the
most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. If you ever notice a really good sale on
shoes and a brunette whirlwind rushing by, it's probably me chanting 'see no evil,
speak no evil, do no evil' and trying to convince myself that there really is
nothing to see here. paket tour singapore murah piranti travel,
