Start with a detailed game plan and shopping list. Know the shopping centers and stores you want to hit and the specific products you’re looking for. Map out the best route, and consider what items are most important to you. (image)
Enlist a friend (or two) to shop with you. Divide up your lists and conquer long lines together! You may need someone to help save your place in line or heft those heavy bags! (image)
Opt for a cross-body handbag to ensure hands-free (and hassle-free) shopping. Be sure to pack the essentials: a fully charged cell phone, shopping lists, chapstick, and hand sanitizer. (image)
Fuel up before you shop! If you’re heading out in the wee morning hours, be sure to stash a protein-packed snack like trail mix in your bag—as well as plenty of water and coffee in your car! (image)
Avoid dressing in layers. Instead, opt for an easy pullover sweater for quick and easy changes in the dressing room. (image)
