Bargain Hunting in the Bay Area

By Sally Socolich

Book Overview

Fads come and go, but shopping for bargains is never out of style. Millions of visitors come to the Bay Area every year, and millions more live here. It's safe to assume that all these people are doing a little bit of shopping-and probably spending more money then they need to. Luckily for Bay Area shoppers, Sally Socolich is back with an updated edition of her best-selling guide to the best bargains around, from San Francisco to Sonoma. Profiling more than 650 discount stores, warehouses, and factory outlets, Bargain Hunting in the Bay Area tells readers what to expect in the way of service, selection, and savings. Listings by category - from clothing and cookware to watches and wall-paper - are cross-referenced in handy indexes by store name, location, and type of merchandise. This comprehensive, practical guide should be in the hands of every Bay Area shopper - because there's no excuse for paying full price.

Customer Reviews

good resource

While I haven't used this book to shop until I drop, I have used it when I want to shop for something specific. It is organized by type of items sold but also has an index in the back that allows you to see what stores are in a certain location (by city). I like the latter because I found there was a store I used to go to elsewhere (out of my way) right around the corner from my office. I also use it to find other stores that are near a place I am already headed for.
