"Tell her to join a tour group to get some great deals."

I would, except she doesn't need anything that's mother-of-pearl inlaid rococo bombe front! (With dragons! And 40 coats of lacquer! Honest!)

Actually, I was just wondering if there's have the equivalent of a mid-range chain, or maybe a flea-market style shopping area. The only shopping I did was at a knock-off mall (robe, purse, and baseball cap), and the police were out in force "trying to stop" the hucksters offering their shop cards and brochures on the street (maybe because of the Expo?).
