Shopping

Shopping in the United States, as in many countries, can be an enjoyable and interesting experience, with many different products and selections to choose from. In Boston, stores range from large to small and from expensive to low prices.

Prices can vary from store to store, so it’s a good idea to shop around for the best prices on the products you want. You sometimes can get a good bargain when a store advertises a “sale” where prices are marked down from the usual cost.

Many small and trendy clothing stores can be found in Boston, but stores with large and often less-expensive selections are too large to be found in the center of Boston.
