There are many stores on the main road in the little city of Chaguanas here on the island of Trinidad. Sometimes you just don’t know which ones to go in and if you went into them all you’d be there all day buying stuff and comparing prices because as …

I have not stepped inside a Kmart store in probably a decade. Back then, the words —˜fashion’ and —˜Kmart’ were complete oxymorons-the women’s clothing was cheap and poorly made, and decidedly for —˜old ladies.’ On a recent trip to the US to do some shopping, my friend, who was …

When I was younger, the St. Vincent de Paul store was a great place to go get a different sofa or some clothes for a great price.

Victoria’s Secret is just that–Victoria’s Secret. The brand is the leader of lingerie sales in the U.S., and probably around the world. Considering my style preference when it comes to lingerie, I am very limited in Gainesville unless I shop online which tends to be even more expensive than shopping …

I am usually very wary of buying things online, but after ordering from webcomic artist, Jeffrey Rowland’s online store, Topatoco, I’m very pleased with the whole experience. His store accepts the usual fare: credit cards and Paypal. After sending an electronic cheque via Paypal, my order was immediately processed …

There are some real arrogant people there and this is the pain I withstand many times while shopping at this Best Buy location. I always go to this shop mostly for the collection of movies. In fact that is the only section where prices are near to justifiable. Also …

Thank God for thrift stores, am I so glad that this kind of store was invented. I don’t know who was the first to say it, but it’s true, one man’s junk is another man’s treasure. Maybe this quote originated from the hit mini TV series Rich Man, …

If you love seafood, and you’re ever in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, a trip to the Old Florida Seafood House is definitely a must. Located at 1414 NE 26TH St, Wilton Manors, the restaurant is not in the major tourist area, but is worth the little extra distance.
A decent-sized …

I remember accompanying my mother to Books a Million when I was younger. I remember the massive aisles filled with bestsellers and authors who names were an enigma to me at the time, who would eventually turn in to my favorite authors. There were toys and games and a coffee …

When Family Dollar first came into Beaver Dam, I thought it was just another dollar store. However, after going in it, I found that they sell a lot of nice things at very reasonable prices.
During my Christmas shopping last year, I ended up getting my daughter half of her …

I enjoy shopping at La Senza stores when the merchandise is neat and tidy and the store is organized. Also, I like the salespeople are hands-off, simply offering help but not being in my fact-who wants to have someone following them around while they are looking at intimate items? …

By far the most beautiful grocery store I have ever been inside is Sunterra Market in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It is a bit pricey, but everything, including the aesthetics, the selection, and the service makes Sunterra a complete pleasure to shop in.
The store is a modern building with stone …

I have likely walked by Bedo, a unisex clothing store in Southcentre Mall, at least a dozen times over the years, and never really gave it a second look. The reason I didn’t ever go in is because my experience with small, non-chain retail clothing stores is that they …

I rarely but at the Mercator shopping centre, I know that there they have a large offer but the prices are rather high and stuff is very rude and slow, so even if there are 5-6 cash desks opened the lines are always enormous in front of them and …

Australia Direct has …
