  • The International Market Place has been and always will be a PEOPLE magnet. BEWARE ... 100% vendors in here, out to make a buck. Most of the stuff sold is cheap dime store items, so look for quality to match that high ticket.

    At Least Do This: Before you go, make sure you know your $limit, or set one. You go without a limit and you will undoubtedly have to buy another suitcase to carry home all your treasures, or ship some home parcel post.
    Alternative: Before you get started anywhere, list down the friends that you MUST buy souvenirs for, carry it with you and this will help keep you from over buying. It also keeps you from being pressured into buying something later that was an afterthought.
    BEFORE you do ANY shopping at quaint places, check out WalMart, Longs Drugs, or KMart (to name a few) and check the prices of their souvenirs. These prices will be more appealing to you and your wallet.
