But what places are there to buy and which are the cheapest?
These are some of them:
- Sawgrass Mills
- Marshalls
- Ross
Sawgrass Mills
It is the largest mall in the world and its prices and their prices are known to be very low; this is a plan for the whole day; and it is more because of its size it is sometimes necessary to return to be able to go all over...
They have an Express transportation system to go and return to the hotel zone of South Beach; it costs about 25 dollars and has different schedules, which makes your experience easier; they also give you discount coupons for stores and products, the same if you use your credit cards of the associated franchises...

Buying technology
