Re: Going to Seattle/Portland for Shopping tomorrow, what to pack? how much to bring?

you're lucky..i've NVR been to the states just to shop (only NY..but i didnt get to shop there cuz we had an accident><)

but what my sister did was when she headed down there, she brought only 1 change of clothes other than what she was wearing..so that she could chuck away the old clothes& wear her new clothes home so she wouldn't pay tax LOL

and here's a link on some of the outlets there:

yeah dont bring much clothing at all...i think even if you bring money, make sure you have your visa with you. it will come in handy... and just like sw33tsmil3s suggested.. you can even just wear your clothing and then chuck it. if you are staying in the states for 1 days then heading to portland.. no one will notice you are wearing the same thing..

my friend loves target. she buys lotta candy there and this specific cover girl foundation thing there that is hella cheap compared to superstore. but since u already stocked up on candy from superstore..i dunno what u would need to buy from target.

Whenever we go to the states, we always stop at the first Walmart across the border to stock up on snacks.. I loveee Walmart Super Centers in the states!

Are U staying in portland overnight? Because just to let u know it takes 5 hours just to get there. Its worth staying over there to get soo many nice and cheap stufff there when i went in the summer ( I go every year) I got mac brushes for $35 and DONT take your credit card ... they charge like $3.00 more take cash its better .
