Things I Didn't Know Before I Moved to USA
In
retrospect at my one-year stay in the United States of America

In
the initial days here in the US I compared everything–from places to prices–to what I
was familiar with back home in Bangkok. Every other weekend my husband took me shopping
to the big stores
and retail stores around, at times to shopping centers, and sometimes to Galleria and NorthPark, the upscale shopping malls in
Dallas. I realize I actually could have saved
hundreds of the thousands of bucks I’ve splurged so far if I’d gone to the
smaller off-price department stores instead like Ross, Marshalls, TJ Maxx,
Burlington Coat Factory, Big Lots, and outlet stores or surplus
warehouses for certain items. I didn't know there was a lot of good stuff to shop at those off-price or discount stores.
