If you are into books don't miss to visit Tattered Cover Bookstore, downtown near the train station. It was by far the best thing I experienced in Denver! for my european standard it was fantastic! It is located into an historical building with bricks walls, it have dark wood shelfes,an inside cafereria and lots of confy chairs to rest and check out some books or magazine. I could have stayed in there for a whole afternoon. I am used to bookstore that are just lines of books with no conforts and I found really nice that they don't just let you read through the new books but they even provide you chairs and couches to sit while you do that!
The selection of books and magazines is outstanding and the relaxing athmosphere make you feel at home.
What to buy: Books, calendars, stationary supplies, magazines and why not, a good coffee

I was drawn to Jerusalem Market because I was looking for Middle Eastern food products, and while they certainly had an impressive selection, I was also surprised to find food from various European countries as well, including some Polish cookies that I've never before found in the US. The prices are reasonable and the selection is fantastic. They even have a lot of fresh cheese, olives, and meat. You'd be amazed how much they managed to cram into such a small space.

I just came across this site over the weekend and couldn't stop checking it out. It's called http://www.salesidiot.com/ and it lists stores and shops in Denver which are having sales. I don't know why someone didn't think of this before, but it's a great idea.
What to buy: Clothing, shoes, electronics, furniture, and just about everything else.
What to pay: It's all on sale!

Rockmount Ranch Wear is a legendary establishment, for both its products and its personnel. Founded in the 1940s, they specialize in fashionable cowboy-style gear, and their shirts, in particular, have a distinctive look, with diamond-shaped snaps instead of buttons, and careful detailing on the stitching. Their products have been used in many movies - especially Westerns of one kind or another, but even films with no connection to cowboys!
The really special aspect of a trip to Rockmount, though, is the opportunity to meet Papa Jack, the firm's founder, who shows up every weekday at the age of 106 (in 2007), and regales customers with his stories. He's quite the advertisement for western living, and of course we promptly bought a shirt after speaking with him and hearing tales from the dawn of the twentieth century (and before, since he's happy to use material handed down from his own father).
What to buy: Their signature product is the Western-style shirt - in dozens of colors and several styles (though all share common design features; check out the little pen-holder sleeve near the pocket, for example!
What to pay: The clothing is high quality and, as a result, a little on the pricey side. However, it's worth it: it's a fun experience, and the workmanship is excellent.

This area really is a highlight of Denver, but doen't always get the attention it deserves. Located near the State Capitol, LoDo, the Pepsi Center, and the majority of downtown Denver's fine hotels, the 16th Street Mall is more than it's name suggests. A busling business area during the day, the Mall settles down in the evening and night for visitors to enjoy Nike, Virgin Records, an ESPN Zone, and countless jazz and music bars. To top it off, there's a multi screen movie theatre, bowling alley, and even a notorious Coyote Ugly. Much of the year white lights adorn the wide pedestrian street, creating a romantic glow.
What to pay: While many of the brands sold here are the same you can find sold in typical malls, you can expect to pay 10-15% more when buying direct.

This is a very interesting place where you can either go to just browse, or find those special ingredients for your Asian meal. This is the grocery store where my roommate from Taiwan would do all his shopping at; he told me it was as close to home as it would get!

This small shop just one block away from REI's (Recreational Equipment Incorporated) flagship store in Denver offers high quality outdoor gear for very reasonable prices.
Most of its staff are experienced climbers.
What to buy: It's a lot cheaper than REI, but it's one of those stores you go to looking for deals, and not anything specific.
