Vacationing in Myrtle Beach can provide you with adventure, outdoor thrills, suntans, and more. But the best part of traveling, in my opinion, is the hunt. For that perfect souvenir. Or outfit. Or tchotchke for your home. With that in mind, here are the best places to start your credit-card safari!
Tanger Outlet Center
Tanger's logo "Bargain Hunting at its Best". How true considering the hugely discounted sales and promotions offered by the retailers.
There are 100 stores bearing chic brand names but with very affordable price tags.
You can find a large selection of high-quality clothes, shoes, and accessories for the entire family as well as perfumes, cosmetics, house wares, and luggage.
For a small fee, join the Tanger Club where your membership entitles you to birthday offers and gifts. For further savings at Tanger, you can buy their coupon book.
Fox & Hounds Antiques Mall
The antiques mall is housed in a large, impressive showroom where 60 expert dealers and consignors have set up booths. Dealers have traveled extensively to places like Amish Country to find the best antiques
The mall's in-stock collection includes unique war memorabilia, pottery, toys, advertising signs, key wind clocks, and figurines. The furniture is primarily oak and mahogany and reflects traditional Victorian and Georgian styles.
Browse through interesting treasures and trinkets like estate jewelry. If you see something you must have, bargain with the vendors to get a good deal.
Not Too Shabby
This delightful boutique sells, among many things, clothes and accessories for the stylish and fashionable child. Parents with deep pockets would enjoy this shopping haven. They could choose from cool picture frames, wooden letters that spells their kids names, and fluffy chenille blankets.
Adults can treat themselves to wonderfully scented body lotions and plush terry robes in an assortment of colors.
Stock up on everything needed in the kitchen like colorful colanders and polka dot dishtowels. Tea-for-One tea sets come in a variety of patterns and are great if you want just one cup of tea.
Gift items like journals are priced under $10.
Belches N' Burps
If you love hot and spicy foods, head for Belches N' Burps. They carry hundreds of home made sauces, marinades, and salsas. Try free samples at the tasting bar.
For the faint of heart, you can purchase mild hot sauces, dips and spread. These sauces go well with the hand cut tortillas, their number one seller.
Tinder Box
Founded in 1928, the Tinder Box is Myrtle Beach's premier cigar and tobacco vendor. Here, cigar aficionados (or new clients) with refined tastes can choose the finest quality cigars including Tinder Box's own private label cigars. They also sell smoking accessories like humidors.
So grab your safari gear, your wallet, and your comfy shoes and head out on a bargain-hunt of your own! In Myrtle Beach you will find the best of shopping adventures anywhere you look!

Save extra cash for your shopping safari by staying in a luxurious Myrtle Beach vacation rental home--cheaper than a hotel, and much more glamorous! Then use that extra dough and bag a serious trophy--maybe an antique diamond ring?
