Cheap Shopping
-- New York We welcome Boston-based writer and shopping pro, Jennifer Wood to our Journeywoman Network. As the co-author of Mr. Cheap's New York guide (updated second edition), this woman really knows about the best shopping bargains the Big Apple has to offer. Within the following juicy tips, Jennifer shares ten of her intriguing finds. She writes...
New York City is a place full of contradictions. While it is well known as one of the most expensive cities in the world, it is also a bargain hunter's paradise. Whichever neighborhood you're in, you can guarantee there's a bargain lurking around every corner. Here are some spots in the Big Apple where a woman can go on a guilt-free shopping spree and still have enough money left over for dinner. |

481 Broadway (at Broome Street) 212.431.9067 If you're tired of seeing the same style of clothing in every single store and on every single body that walks by, consider going vintage. Each day, Alice Underground sets aside a number of bargain bins, like a "$6.00 Leather" bin. At the back of the store, they also offer a selection of gorgeous antique linens and fabrics for just about every room in the house. |

119 Orchard Street 212.674.6720 212.677.2043 Stand
where Orchard and Delancey Streets intersect and you'll find yourself smack
dab in the middle of the Orchard Street Bargain District where, as the name
suggests, bargains abound! Walk around and check out any store that appeals
to you. Some of my favorites? Fine and Klein
(119 Orchard Street, 212.674.6720) sells designer handbags and wallets
at about 30 percent below retail; while, half a flight up,
Lea's (119 Orchard Street, 212.677.2043) offers similar
savings on women's sportswear by well-known European designers. Rummage
through the stock and you will probably find something that suits your fancy.
