Shopping For A Bargain or Two (New England Style)

Yes, after awhile looking at leaves can get a bit boring. While your visiting. Why not shop?  Way too many shopping areas and malls to actually list, but I will suggest three of my favorites for discount/odd finds type of stores. 

1.) Ocean State Job Lot- Located mostly in Southern New England. This is a store full of everything, you can buy a pair of jeans (name brand) or pool supplies. Discount shopping at it's best. They offer internet coupons for additional savings, which I have taken advantage of a few times.

2.) Christmas Tree Shops- Don't let the name fool you, much more then a store full of Christmas items. Located in several States now, was founded in Cape Cod, Massachusetts in 1970. Every holiday, not just Christmas is celebrated here. Indoor/Outdoor items, cookware, food, you name it they may have it. Christmas time is especially busy. Although be prepared to wait in line if you are visiting on a Holiday or the weekends as well. *Visiting the Foxboro, MA location on game day is also not advised.*

3.) Building #19- Located in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.  Oh my, what can you say about this store. They sell whatever/everything. You just have to see it for yourself. The employees are always very interesting, but friendly.  Building 19 offers a free cup of coffee for those who want one. The really do have it all. Nice selection of rugs and furniture which sounds odd, but they do have some nice stuff. Hard to explain, so if you are in the area of a Building 19 and you like discount shopping stop in.
