For years I have watched the American television commercials about a company called Directbuy. Finally a Directbuy location opened in my immediate area, and somehow we managed to get on their mailing list. We never contacted them, so they must have bought our information from some mailing list, but …

Macy’s is likely my very favourite department store in North America, and the location in Bellingham, Washington is no exception. I love the brands they carry, and the stores are always neat, clean and well-organized. The prices are excellent, the sales are great, and the customer service is always …

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 …

Walgreens is a great store brand and the company has done a great job at building their image, and I have ventured into many Walgreens stores, as many people have because there are so many Walgreens all over the place and the Walgreens on Duval Street does the brand …

I go to this 99cents store a lot because I live near there or one block away. I want to buy things here because the price is not too expensive. They had great product but the owners and his wife and children are the rudest business owners I’ve ever …

I absolutely love Legos and I was ecstatic when I discovered that there was a Lego store at the Colorado Mills Shopping Center in Lakewood, CO. Technically I think this store is labeled at as an outlet store, although I’m not positive, but the prices are still full …

Our Local Goodwill Store is quite impressive. We used to drive through the Goodwill Store only to drop off our unwanted/outgrown clothing. I never thought I would actually shop at a store that sold primarily “used” items. Then a friend told me that she bought her …

The Wilkinson discount store in Stourbridge is a fairly typical example of the chain’s shops. It is neither a very old fashioned corner shop type, nor a brand new superstore, but somewhere in between. It is one of the Wilkinson branches that I patronise most often, since it is …

All-in-all, I love Wal-mart! They have a wonderful selection at prices that are hard to beat. However, the Wal-mart in Catonsville, Maryland is horrible! I avoid that store whenever possible. I’ve spoken to several others that agree. It’s best to go out of your way and go to a …

I was particularly interested in the development of …

I sometimes like to go to this thrift shop in Charlotte on south blvd. called Value Village. It looks kind of junky but sometimes it is amazing what you might find there. Just the other day I was looking at the skirts and noticed a really pretty beige skirt …

I love to sew but unfortunately I do not have the luxury of living in a metropolis where there is an abundance of fabric stores to shop. I do, however, have a local Joann Fabrics store which is pretty good about keeping a nice supply of fabrics and other arts …

Almost everyone knows what Ralph Lauren is. For those that don’t it’s an American clothing brand. Well, he sells more than clothing now but fashion is mostly what he does. I love Ralph Lauren because it’s an American brand, not that I have anything against other brands but there …

Every once in awhile I get a sweet tooth that chocolates and candy won’t take care of. The only thing that will take care of it is donuts!!! I shop for my donuts at a place in Manchester called Donut Palace. What a cool name.
Donut Palace has …

The Loft is one of those stores I heard about, but never wanted to go in because it just wasn’t my style. Granted, I heard great reviews about the store, but if a store doesn’t fit your style then it just doesn’t fit your style.

When I first walked into the …

I have been shopping at Sunflower Market in Tucson, Arizona for one and a half years now. I like their meat prices as they are mostly lower than Wild Oats. Frozen produce is cheaper at Wild Oats which surprised me as the overall prices at Sunflower Market are lower …

Hallmark is my favourite gift and cards shop. It is really simple but that’s the way I like it. I love their cards because they’re so humorous but sometimes I think that i would rather spend money on something else than cards because they are not exactly the cheapest …

I ended up with a flat tire on my way to work this morning. While that was a bad enough of an inconvenience just from having to get it repaired and hitch a ride with my dad to work; it became even more of an issue at lunch because, …

As my wife wanted to buy a kurta, she said “let’s go Fabindia”. Before I could protest because I hate the time these ladies take while making their selections, my wife, as if, she read my thoughts said that it won’t take more than half an hour. I said “ok”. …

I have really enjoyed shopping at HyVee for the past several years. The helpful smile in every aisle campaign is obviously cheesy, however, the customer service status is top quality. Quite recently, I was shopping in HyVee late at night. I got to the check out …

I am one of those people who keep changing residence every year. It is not that I like it that way but, somehow it ends up like that. Couple of years back, I had moved to Telok Blangah, which is south-west of Singapore. Everyday my …

I have bought just a stool from The Green Furniture before. And that’s about it. Because I must say that although the furnitures displayed are all very nice looking, tempting and certainly worth the money, but to actually bargain with the salesperson is certainly impossible.

Stitches has a bad reputation among fashion lovers. If you do end up shopping at stitches, try to hide the shopping bag on your way out, or you will be teased on it. On one hand I understand why people don’t get too excited about this store, on the …

I first came across the Factory shop quite by accident. I had moved to the area of Dalry several months before hand and stumbled upon this shop as part of my exploration of the area. I had heard of the shop from local radio adverts, but had actually no …
