Turn your day into a morning of shopping, lunch, and more shopping! Wear comfortable shoes and hit the ground running.

Be prepared

If you had a seasoned consultant assisting you, they’d say to bring a cart and bags and pack snacks. Dress in layers for temperature deviations.

Take notes

You will notice hundreds of items, so if you want to compare, carry a pad and pen. Or use your smartphone note-taking app.

If you feel driven to bargain …

Do so with consideration. It’s usually worth it. Understand what you want, how much you’re ready to pay for it, and what a reasonable offer would be.
