2016 Shopping trip report
Hi, thought I share some of buys we managed to grab during our last visit. We didn't go that crazy as our last trip. Last time we spent loads and I went especially crazy buying kids' clothes and souvenirs for everyone. Having Revolut updates on our spending via app and seeing th spending kitty went down is pretty sobering to curtail that; especially the buying souvenirs for everyone.
We were there during Labor Day weekend and whilst there were offers, it was mainly Buy one, get one half price with the exception of Coach and Kate Spade which had a good 50-60% discount. We hit the premium outlets pretty hard - the ones at Orlando and the outlet in Ellenton on our way to Clearwater. Found Ellenton less manic with more offers although lordy, it was so hot. Now before you think I am crazy to buy so many bags, these were requests from friends in UK. Now, on to the bags! Coach Orange tote on clearance rack 40% off and additional 50% works out to $69 Larger brown tote $199 less 50% so around $100 Large wristlets $45 after 50% Small wristlets $23 after discount The smaller wristlets were $18 at Ellenton Coach men's wallet was $59 after discount |

Blue Coach tote $90 after discount. Suede Michael Kors slouchy bag with tassles. $125 on clearance rack with further 25% discount Crocs shoes buy one get one free so I paid $26 for the two Ecco mary jane shoes $39.99 + tax. Really loved the last pair of Ecco shoes I bought. Still going strong four years later and it's so much cheaper in US We went to the Nike clearance store off 192 and husband bought these relly comfy Nike free trainers for about $50. We were in the carpark when a nice lad came over and gave us a voucher $25 off $50 spend he was not going to use since he's going home the next day. So I bought these... ... for $25 |

Fab buys and some good bargains. We go around veteran day sales and hoping for some discounts. Do you recommend Ellenton first or the ones in Orlando?

If you're heading around Ellenton, I would suggest going there first. Better bargains, methinks. The shops like Quiksilver, Bass Outlet and GAP had racks of stuff outside which are heavily discounted to pull people in. It was not as busy as the other two outlets in Orlando although I appreciate is a 1.5 hour drive each way.

Blimey what a lovely selection of top quality stuff and great prices. Out of interest have you priced up what you would have to pay in the UK for the same things ?
I'm looking forward to my shopping days now ! |
