Since we just had a brand new mall open up down the street I spend most of my time shopping there. It is an outdoor mall so kinda hot in the summer but at night after the sun goes down is a nice time to go plus they have misters and a water play area for the kids. It’s a great place to go and hang out when you are tight on money because you can just walk around and the kids can play for free. Right next to the play area is all the kids stores like childrens place, gymboree, pumpkin patch, build a bear, and the disney store. Of course this is great marketing but it is really convienent too since those are pretty much the only stores I frequent since becoming a mom!
For Grocery Stores I love going to the new Fresh and Easy that is very close by. It is so convienent. Do you have one by you? It is a new chain here in the U.S. from Great Britain. They have pre-prepared foods and lot’s of fresh fruits and vegatables. It is a very small store and is fast and easy to check out and get on your way.

I bet in Arizona the mall is a good place to beat the heat for exercise and entertainment.

Hi – stopping by on the blog trip. You know, having just moved back to the north after living in Mississippi, I do miss the open air malls. There is an open air mall now in a town about an hour from here that just opened, and I can’t believe that anyone even goes there in the winter in below freezing weather. What in the world were they thinking with putting an outdoor mall in North Dakota? Very good to meet you – talk to you later hopefully.

No fresh and Easy around me. I have never heard of it… We just moved into a new development so we have to drive some to get to a store. But we shop at places like, Bel Air, Food Source, Raley’s, but costco is my Favorite!! I am just as bad in that place as I am Target…
