So, you wanna go shopping for clothes,
in the US there are so many options and so many different price points,
that you can shop at!
You can find clothes everywhere from gas stations,
to big chain stores like this one!
Stores like this will sell groceries,
clothing, even furniture and pet supplies, or car parts!
You won't find designer clothes here,
but you will find quality T-shirts, pants, scarves, swimsuits,
for as low as US$5,00!
And, of course, as one would expect, clothes are sold in typical clothing stores,
but also in malls!
The advantage of going to a mall, of course, is that they're very accessible,
as they're often located in tourist places.
Clothing stores in malls sell a variety of brands
and they always have the latest collections.
So, if you are here to shop, but you're looking for designer items
at a low, low price, you'll have to look up outlet malls,
which are one of my favorite places in the world!
Outlet malls are a collection of outlet stores,
that sell designer and name brand items at a discount
but the only downside is they are usually about a 50-minute drive
from any metropolitan center.
So, depending on what cities you're traveling to,
you can start researching what outlet malls are around,
how to get there and often times they have e-mail lists that you can sign up for,
and they will send you coupons for up to 50% off you final purchase price!
That's 50% off on already discounted prices!
What can beat that?
Now, if real cheap is what you're looking for,
then there's still some other options for you!
And I mean cheap! Cheaper than the outlet stores!
In some stores, they specialize in selling collection leftovers.
And the good news is, that these stores are located all over town, even in tourist spots!
So, I recommend that you go to these stores!
And take your time looking through them, because at first glance, you know,
you might notice that they might not have as big of a selection,
or they might be a little bit messy, but trust me!
Take your time, look through that stuff,
because I guarantee that you're going to find something
that's exactly what you're looking for!
But if you're looking for the latest collections
at high-end designer stores, this is your place!
Rodeo Drive!
Hi! We're here with Angela,
and she's going to talk to us a little bit about shopping in America.
Specifically, clothing shopping!
What are some places that you can go from low end, to high end?
Well, there's the whole Rodeo Drive area, where it's like, much high-end stuff.
And then there's consignment stores and thrift stores,
which are clothes that are being resold.
And then there's in the middle, which is right in middle of both of those,
which is brand new clothes, that aren't previously worn,
but they're not high-end brands.
Can you explain what consignment stores are, just in case?
Totally! A consignment store is a store that is reselling clothes
that were previously worn, like a used bookstore.
But, they usually shouldn't be dirty.
They're usually clean, good clothes,
sometimes even brand clothing are sold in these consignment stores,
but probably for a third of the price you would get for them
on the real rack.
There are other options, too. Like, outlets, right?
Yes, there's outlets that are brands that are doing half-sale options,
and those are all over!
Probably even more than the high-end stores, are the outlets.
If you had one word of advice about shopping for clothes
in the US for our viewers, what would you say?
It would be never buy at the retail price!
You can always find better!
Same! Yes, thank you! You're welcome!
