]]> 48511 2 28 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/70616/28.jpg Research coupons and ads Go online to research coupons, bargains, and sales. Bring copies of advertised deals, including price matching, and make sure coupons apply to in-store sales.

]]> 48512 3 38 Tip You may be able to find better deals online than you can in the store—in which case, stay home and save yourself the trip.

]]> 48513 4 44 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/70616/44.jpg Dress comfortably Dress comfortably in layers, and wear shoes that’ll survive hours of standing and walking.

]]> 48514 5 50 Tip If it’s cold out, leave your heavy winter coat in the car. You won’t need it in the mall, where it’ll just weigh you down.

]]> 48515 6 57 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/70616/57.jpg Consider valet parking Consider paying for valet parking. It may be worth a few extra dollars to avoid the hassle of an inconvenient spot and a long walk.

]]> 48516 7 66 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/70616/66.jpg Wear a backpack Wear a nearly empty backpack, and bring only the essentials: your wallet, keys, coupons, phone, some water, and a snack. Stow smaller purchases in your backpack as you go to keep your hands free.

]]> 48517 8 79 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/70616/79.jpg Make heavy purchases last Save your heaviest purchases for the end, so you won’t be loaded down while you shop.

]]> 48518 9 85 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/70616/85.jpg Work your way down In a multilevel mall, most people start on the bottom and work their way up. Avoid the crowds by doing the opposite.

]]> 48519 10 93 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/70616/93.jpg Stay smart at the food court Eat smart at the food court by staying away from sugar and grease. Drink water and keep your energy up by combining lean protein and healthy carbohydrates.

]]> 48520 11 102 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/70616/102.jpg Use your debit card Use cash or your debit card. You’ll be more likely to stay within your means, and you won’t pile on the credit card debt.

]]> 48521 12 110 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/70616/110.jpg Go it alone Unless you have a devoted friend who you shop well with, go it alone and stick to your list. When you’re solo, you can stay on track and get the most out of the mall.

]]> 48522 13 121 Fact The West Edmonton Mall in Alberta, Canada, has its own water park and is home to the world’s largest indoor wave pool.
