You don't have to go to New York to get a good knock off; Kate Spate, Gucci wanna-bes and other near luxury labels are under one roof on Harry Hines Boulevard. Ladies with deep and shallow pockets fight each other to hit the aisles and find the best piece for the best price.
Even though it's on trendy Henderson Avenue, this import store with flowing dresses and chunky jewelry is priced right. From sidewalk sales to back-room bargains, shoppers can walk away with deals on a broad range of baubles to bohemian attire.
Practically a theme park for men, this shop with all things golf is a hole in one for affordable yet quality golf gear. Pick up a pair of Adidas golf shoes, TaylorMade balls and a Titleist driver and still have money left for a game of 18 holes.
There's nothing fussy at this discount shoe stop--just aisles of boxes with shoes displayed atop are easy for men (and women) to try on without the hassle of asking a sales clerk to find their size. Men will appreciate the simplicity of this store and the broad range of sizes and labels at their fingertips.
Shoppers travel the distance to hit this Preston Road shop where the racks of name brand children's clothes go on for eternity and the discounts go deep. Women with babies attached at the hip dig through the label conscious inventory for a christening gown, a receiving blanket or any adorable outfit fit for the season.
A purple door at this kid's consignment store welcomes suburban moms with clothes to buy and sell. When cute tennis moms drop off their tot's name brand clothes, others are in line to sift through and take home. Used high chairs, toys and even some maternity wear are also available at competitive prices.
This established antique haven on Greenville Avenue is a magnet for all ages. This favorite spot for vintage and funky finds brings in the guy who needs a pearl snap shirt and the grandma who has to finish out her velvet Elvis collection.
Grab the kids and head to Grand Prairie to find discounts in flea market style. Serious shoppers on the hunt for cheap prices throw on their t-shirts and ball caps to peruse this massive flea market. And when we say massive, we mean massive: More than 3,500 dealers are on hand to peddle jewelry, flowers, comics, furniture and loads more.
