Yet More Shopping

You can never do too much shopping...

Ladies Wear

In some of the smaller outlets and malls there is a store called Beales (pronounced Bells). There are loads of discounted items, and we have found that even if an item is not marked as on sale, it is mostly discounted at the till. You will not believe some of the prices!

If you don't mind rummaging through the racks, check out TJ Maxx or Ross.

Hypermarkets

And then there are ... WalMart and KMart. Both are hypermarkets and have branches all over the state ( and the whole of the USA). KMart are not as big as they used to be, WalMart is huge world-wide (owns ASDA in the UK).

Both sell almost everything but only the very largest branches sell the whole range of groceries. These stores are unbeatable for children's clothing, leisure wear, underwear and linens. If you are a stitcher, check out the DMC floss at WalMart (about 20p per skein!).

Groceries

For general food shopping, Publix and Winn-Dixie are both good and have branches throughout the state.

D.I.Y

If you are looking for tools, then head to Home Depot. Remember though that US power supply is only 110v so be sure electrical tools will still work back home.
