www.dotcomhunter.com New York City is a Shopper's Paradise New York is a treasure trove of so many things that it is quite diffi cult to select one thing to mention when discussing this wonderful ci ty. If you are a natural born shopper and bargain hunter though you w ould be remiss not to head out to New York with the idea of finding s ome fabulous bargains in mind. 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 t he thrill of getting that little extra percent off or finding a perfect ly good second hand piece for less than a quarter of what that item wou ld have cost new. At the same time, there are very few things that I ca n mentally justify paying full price for. Perhaps this is why New York represents shopper's heaven to me. Ther e are so many consignment stores, used clothes stores, vintage cloth es stores, and the bargains don't end at clothing. There is consignm ent furniture, house wares, even tools can be found at bargain price s in very specialized consignment and second hand stores. Electronic s 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 s tores that you can find in New York City, there are also plenty of ou tlet stores that offer lower prices for last years overstock or sligh tly flawed patterns. It's amazing the bargains you can find when thes e stores have sales. Of course shopping your regular shopping malls j ust 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 (provide d some unholy sort of abnormal growth spurt doesn't occur in the mean time). 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 sh opping centers of New York trying to get into your head the close pro ximity of so many wonderful bargains and how everyone in that city is n't either filing for bankruptcy or in serious hoc due to credit card s 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 cou ld or should be. I love shoes, particularly Birkenstock's. You simply cannot buy Birkenstock's second hand and even the sales prices on thes A gift from www.dotcomhunter.comwww.dotcomhunter.com e shoes are more than you'd pay for many at full retail. I once though t 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 br unette whirlwind rushing by, it's probably me chanting 'see no evil, s peak no evil, do no evil' and trying to convince myself that there rea lly is nothing to see here.
