Where to go for bargains??

[janine29]

I have read a Brits guide and have found it very helpful. However I am still unsure of which shopping malls/outlets to visit. I dont want to spend a huge amount of time shopping so can someone please direct me to the denim, nike, reebok etc bargains??!!

You'll find the best Nike store at the Belz family outlets at the 'north' of International Drive, there is a Reebok store virtually next door to Nike, and on the other side of the road you'll find a Ralph Lauren store as well.

At the 'South' end of International Drive you'll find the Orlando Premium outlets, there's a Nike store here as well, Tommy Hilfiger, Versace, Coach, Adidas, Banana Republic and Gap. There are other 'Malls' such as the Florida Mall worth a visit, but if you're looking for bargains these are probably the best places to start - a good place to go if it's raining!

For "Fashion clothes" for adults, IMHO the Premium outlet mall and Beltz are probably your best bet. For teen/preteen casual fashion I've found that World of Denim/Denim World and Denim USA ( I think they are all the same franchise) offer the type of stuff that most of them seem to like. Jeans from a variety of different "labels" as well as casual tops etc from the same companies. They ALWAYS seem to have a clearance rack that generally have some real bargains ( if you can get the kids to look through it )

It's got to be Premium outlet mall. If you want bargain clothes try LBV. I can't remember the name but there's a shop whihc sells jeans for £8-ish, and loads of other mens and womens wear very cheaply.

BiGGy, I think you're allowed to bring £136 worth in (could be wrong!) per person. However, as long as you haven't left labels on everything, and receipts galore, how would they prove how much you had bought and how much you had taken with you in the first place.
I personally wouldn't too much about it, we did the first couple of times, until we realised that the staff at Manchester couldn't give a monkeys what/how much you've brought back. (you just watch, this August it'll be us stood at the side with all our luggage out on the return journey!!!)

Matty624 you read my mind with the labels and receipts comment!! I INTEND(!!) for my case to contain only 4 changes of clothes on the way out to leave room for my new wardrobe

Strictly speaking, the onus is on you to prove that you didn't buy it out there. Taking labels off more expensive items, golf clubs for example, doesn't work as HMC & E have massive lists giving prices of items worldwide.

Having said that, as long as you're not taking the mickey and bringing £10,000+ they won't even bother you.
