Shopping Shopping Tips Many area department stores offer discounted shopping days for senior citizens.
Some malls also feature monthly senior events, such as free movies or health programs.
Some local shopping malls offer valet parking, a feature you may find handy during the busy holiday season. If you live in Virginia but think you might save a few bucks by stocking up on distilled spirits at independently operated liquor stores in the District or Maryland, be aware that there are limits on the amount of alcohol that can be purchased for transport across state lines. It's a good idea to first check with local authorities to see what the law allows. Count on Sunny's Surplus stores, with numerous area locations, for great bargains on clothing, equipment and accessories for hikers, campers, hunters, anglers and other outdoor enthusiasts. Scoop up bargains at local yard sales held on Saturday mornings throughout the metro area.
