Sign up to their email list and they will send you regular emails advising the new offer in the store that day - for instance B3G3F and occasionally get a 20% off email and combine the two offers.

We never venture to B&BW until the morning emails have arrived.

Thank you. I get them and it's always an excuse to go back, much to my husband's annoyance lol

It's a bit of a pain now as you can't access Hobby Lobby on line
With out a VPN but you can pick up there leaflet at the store door it always has a 40% coupon off a full,price item in it
Michaels and Joanne's sign up on line
Michaels is particularly good with painting supplies offers
The offers change weekly and Michaels now accepts all craft store coupons

I'll definitely look into it! We are only going for 8 days and now I'm worried I don't have enough time for all the shopping I want to do! Some of it may have to wait until our 2020 visit

Make sure you get your rewards whilst there. They always have a wee selection at the counter of what you can get with your points.

Oh I love TK Maxx! I always feel so accomplished when I leave with things I wanted at a good price! I will definitely have a look!

B&BW worth four or five trips (apparently ) although none at DS there's maybe five in a 10/11 mile radius of WDW.

Sephora at DS and Ulta at the Loop but mainly for daughters and granddaughter.

Joan crafts as well and Hobby Lobby. Michaels and Jo-ann are all worth a trip. Massive discounts in November.

We often find for clothes that the likes of Macy's offer better deals than the outlets. Often have sales on and you can get an International Visitor's Card for an extra 10% or 11% off.

Thanks for all the tips and advice, will definitely be signing up to the B&BW emailing list before we go!

Don’t expect cheap at Disney Springs. It’s nice to walk around but it’s very much high end now.

I haven’t yet decided if we will make the trip to the Florida mall, or just shop Disney springs, but all suggestions are welcome and I’ll figure out the logistics later!

So far we’ve decided we want to visit Sephora, bath and body works and Barnes and noble- but those three are the only big US shop names I really know or am remembering at this moment in time, so all suggestions are welcome!

If you have time, we love a trip to Winter Park for smaiier independent shops, especially on a Saturday when the market’s on.

I’ve heard of Ulta but completely forgotten about it! I’m only such a Sephora fan because they have them in Paris, but anyway to get things cheaper is a win in my book, we will definitely head to an ulta!

Thank you!

Consider the craft shop we have here- Hobbycraft! Then times the size of the store by at least 10! Plus prices much cheaper! You will be amazed at the stuff out there! Sign up for coupons, as Helen says! I do a shopping list before I go and compare prices online! Florida is usually cheaper and some brands are not available in the UK.

My DW would highly recommend a trip to any of the Michael Kors Outlets. It’s not a holiday if we don’t bring a few handbags home with us.

I’d also echo Mick’s point about department stores - sale rails in JC Penny, Macy’s, Kohl’s all excellent bargains.
If houseware is your thing, Crate & Barrel or Williams Sonoma are worth a visit. For candles Yankee Candles. I’m sure more will come to mind...
