Know the general value of what you want. Shop around NY and online.

There are some bargains to be had, and sometimes unusual pieces.

Bargain! Haggle! Negotiate! It's "the process". And there are free drinks....lol.....which tends to result in impulse add-ons in my case...poor hubby.

I do have substantial pieces, and also daily work wear pieces.

If you pay cash you can often negotiate even more, as they will not incur credit card processing fees. So you can save that as well as tax.

Have fun!
