It's now 10.30am Saturday morning and we're sat by the pool. The villa next door is having a yard sale but it's mostly furniture. Hopefully be more yard sales popping up before 4th July as the Americans seem to have a clear out leading up to this and I've had some fab finds at them in previous years. After lunch we're Florida Mall bound. We'll be nipping into Burlington Coat Factory and Marshall's. Tonight's plan is Old Town.

Hopefully get lots of goodies today! I'm on a roll with my bargains so long may it continue! I have a feeling it'll be a high spend today as I have a list prepared for Sephora... wish me luck lol!

Just thinking as you have included food costs etc it if it was in the trip reports more people would enjoy reading it as not everyone ventures on to "Shopping".

See more...

I agree, I probably should have put it in trip reports and just put a link in the shopping section!

Could a mod maybe assist in moving this over there?

Loving this, keep them coming!

Wow I'm loving this report, getting some good tips for next week... thanks x

Forgot to add this pic in my last update. This is what our shopping haul looks like so far...

This doesn't include the boys own stuff like all the toys n sweets as they've got their own hauls in their own rooms lol

And that's only a few days worth, many more shopping days ahead...it's good job we fit all our clothes in one case coming out and the other case had 3 large holdalls in it!

You're getting me all excited for out trip, I plan on doing some shopping this time ( we only managed an hour in Walmart and a little time at DTD last time ) We are flying PE on our return journey, 3 cases with holdalls inside which could mean up to 8 cases to come home with
Please leave us some bargains
