Secrets to Finding Discounts in the USA

Travelers coming to the land of stars and stripes towards the end of the year will have the chance to hunt for the biggest designer discounts of the year.

In about 2 weeks, the USA will step into its biggest discount shopping season of the year. This event not only entices American citizens but also draws any tourists to this country at the year's end. The discount season extends from Thanksgiving (11/28) until the end of Christmas.

Making a Shopping List

Creating a list of necessary items is highly crucial before you embark on your shopping journey. Mega discount programs can make you overwhelmed and easily fall into the trap of buying a lot, sometimes unnecessary items.

List down essential items and stick to that list throughout the shopping days. Then, depending on your 'budget,' you can continue to satisfy your shopping desires.

Choosing the Right Shopping Destination

Learn about shopping centers so you can be the first to grab the best items. The earliest bird gets the finest goods. The most unique items often vanish in the first few days of the program.

In the US, if you love bargain shopping, hunt for deals at supermarkets like Kmart, WalMart, Target, or Costco, where discounts are available year-round. Here, you can find brands like Timberland, Ralph Lauren, DKNY, Calvin Klein.

For those seeking luxury, tourists can opt for renowned brands such as: Barneys New York, Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdale’s, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue. A bit lower are: Carson Pirie Scott, Macy’s. Then come Belk, Boscov, Dillard’s, JC Penney, Kohl, Sears... at major shopping centers.

For fashion enthusiasts, in the US, tourists can discover all the leading world brands like D&G, Gucci, Prada, Versace, Chanel, Dior, Hermès, Lacoste, Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint – Laurent, Burberry, Hugo Boss... at most shopping centers.

You can also explore top-notch cosmetics at 21 Centurry Store (New York) with a variety of world-renowned cosmetic brands like Estee Lauder, Clinique...

Finding Discounted Designer Brands? Visit Burlington, Coat Factory, Marshalls, Giant, or T.J.maxx.

Before you shop, remember to bring your passport to the customer service counter to collect discount vouchers before starting your shopping journey.

Return Policy

Shopping in the US offers good quality products at cheaper prices than Europe or other countries. Whether it's domestically produced or manufactured in third countries (India, China, Vietnam...), the quality is strictly controlled before being sold in the US market.

The most important thing is that shopping in the US ensures genuine brands without any counterfeits or imitations. The convenience is that you can comfortably purchase, exchange, as long as it's within the same system and you keep the receipt.

Online Shopping

Cyber Monday, the first Monday after Thanksgiving, is the prime time for electronic purchases at discounted prices. This year, it falls on December 2nd.

Prepare your credit card in advance and be ready to place orders online. The shipping address must match the billing address.
