ALFA MART ; Kuta Beach: Buy anything from these shops

by goutammitra

It's not that all the shops entertain bargain. There are many fixed price shops where you can buy merchandise of your daily need like cigarette, soaps, packaged snacks, beer, cold drinks, energy drinks and so on. While returning myself and Munu took a walk on the beach in scorching sun then we felt very thirsty and drained out, I was looking for some shop where we can buy some cold drink. The shop is part of a chain of shops spread all over Bali. We bought isotonic drink from this shop and water bottle. I wanted to bring two such isotonic drink bottle back to India, but the airport customs just did not allow it even in check in luggage. So, I had to distribute the drinks to others. The lady in the picture gladly accepted to become my model for the Isotonic MIZONE! It was really nice and full of glucose, which put our energy back! Thanks to the lady at the counter for becoming my...

Shopping Street of Kuta, Bali: Go for Bargain !!!!! Up to 80%

by goutammitra

The street is full of shops selling souvenir to Tee Shirts. You may get some good bargain here if you have the ability and patience to bargain. Sometimes the shopkeeper may tell you to keep the thing you want to buy and look for another shop but don't just loose your patience and may increase a few thousand Rupiah on the last price offered. He may perhaps sell you.Guarantee: Just don't expect. It's flea market!

Matahari Shopping Complex- Kuta: Very Very Expensive!

by goutammitra

We have been told about Matahari Shopping complex near Kuta beach, so we decided to do some last minute shopping. But to our utter surprise we found the prices are even higher than our own Kolkata shopping complexes, whom we find expensive. They said it s fixed price for all the items in display there. When we converted the priced of the items we wanted to buy it was almost 50% more than our Kolkata prices. For example , we wanted to know the price of a 26" American Tourister , suitcase it was almost Rs.3300/ there in Matahari, but in Kolkata it is available for around Rs.2000/- so we just dropped the idea of shopping in Matahari and went out.The only consolation of this place is this Javanese girl Rani ( See picture) was humming a Javanese song. We just overheard this beautiful song, we requested her to sing for us, after lots of blushing , she sang it for us! I just forgot to take the...

Krishna: Oleh Oleh Khas Bali!

by goutammitra

Oleh Oleh Khas Bali! You will come across this sign at many places number of times. This means Bali souvenir shop. We were taken to Krishna for shopping on the very first evening at Bali. We felt it was very expensive but later we found , it was better, value for money, no bargain place for Bali souvenir shop. After visiting almost 20 shops and shopping complexes, we felt it was the best, reasonably priced and better than any other shop in Bali. It's government run place with mostly girls working with very very smiling face and attitude. They all understand English and shall help you even if you are a small customer! I shall recommend go for Bali Soaps, Aromatic body oils, paintings, Sarong and small handicraft items. There are many many things right from food stuff to clothes. Anything between USD$ 1- 100!

Fixed Price Shopping

by screamin

I remember back to my first trip to Bali and bargaining to buy a pair of sandals, and I had found out a day or two later that I had paid enough to buy another 10 pairs. Talk about a novice at bargaining, I bet the store owner and her family had Mc Donalds for dinner that night. I am pleased to say my skills have improved and I get a good cheap price now. But I find I take quite a few hours up if not a full day in shopping and with bargaining sometimes can take a while to get the price you want. A few years ago I stumbled onto Turikas shop at Melasti Art Market on the corner of Melasti St and Shadadewa St (Garlic Lane) Fixed price and a friendly smile, Turika the owner is a lovely women and very helpful, she gave us each a bottle of cold water and an hour later I had made a new friend just about finished all my shopping. This was too easy and so much better than haggling over a few...

Batik Popiler II: Batik in Indonesia

by oprandip

Batik Popiler II is Bali’s foremost producer and retailer of handmade batik products. Over almost half a century, we have built an international reputation built on exemplary quality, creativity and reverence for this centuries old art form.Batik Popiler II was founded way back in 1962 by Bapak (Mr) Wayan Matra and Ibu (Mrs) Made Tanjung. In the fifties, Ibu Tanjung was earning her living trading spices. Her work brought her into regular contact with farmers in remote parts of Bali who would always ask her for batik from the neighboring island of Java. Ibu Tanjung would make regular visits there, handpicking the finest examples including exquisite antique pieces, which were much more readily available at the time. Business went well and she opened a batik shop in Bali’s capital Denpasar – the very first of its kind on the island. Batik painting, sarong, woodcarving, pillow case, dress,...

ET Club: Funky Shoes!

by SFHulaGIrl

This Jakarta-based company has some of the most creative shoes I've seen in Bali thus far. Their shoes tend to have lots of enamel accessories on them - ladybugs, starfish, turtles, frogs, etc. The colors are vibrant, the designs are young and fresh. Prices range from about US$35 for slippers to US$100 for more eccentric designs. They also sell bags and enamel jewelry. There are two branches in Seminyak, the other being near Cafe Moka, though the selection isn't as good.

Surf Shop: Buy wonderful underwear for women

by swimbikini

If we are travelling around Bali especially in Kuta closed to Kuta Beach, we will massively found many surf shop around or in any corner of the street even in any narrow street path to the beach. They offer many surf cloth and accessories, bikini, and some other popular swimwear brand. The price generally cheap but for some brand will cost higher. With their good quality cloth and cheap price, the product are quite satisfied. Bikini, swimwear, underwear for women, and surf cloth. USD 7 - USD 60
