Steeve & Barry's (at the entrance of Festival Bay) sells clothes and sneakers for US$ 8,98 all year long! Makeup products are found in shopping centers and also at Wallgreen (there are stores spread througout the city), working 24 h a day and with a great price). To buy electronics it is best to go to Orange Blossom Ave where the major stores are side by side: Compusa, Circuit City and Best Buy. Baby products are found at Babies"R"us (Colonial Drive). A visit to WalMart stores is worth (save on supermarket goods, clothes, electronics, shoes, home products). You will even find cheaper theme parks passes!!!! The Kirkman Rd store is a good one. The Kmart stores have also good prices (I-4 next to Mcdonald´s of International Drive and at Orange Blossom, near the Circuit City). The Publix supermaket network offers good products but seems to be a little more expensive than Wall Mart. The "ORLANDO SENTINEL" has a useful section with coupons of a great variety of products.
