Canal strreet is always the place I went to for electronics. They have everythign you need there at prices you thought were impossible to find. When I needed a scientific then a graphic calculator and was told tit would cost about 200 dollars, my mother took me straight to canal street, where we looked around at a few stores and bargained until we found a brand new one for just 80 dollars. Of course they love when you pay with cash.

On canal street, right off the Williamsburg Bridge, you can find very cheap school uniforms as well.

The disadvantage of shopping here would be that it is very crowded and looks unorganized. You must be tough and be ready to hav eot push through a crowd. While some prefer to do their shopping in a mall where they knwo where everything is and know they will find parking, I love the excitement of going somewhere different and having storied to tell and beign able to brag about how much less I paid for the same item as the classmate next to me.
