Mumbai Shopping, huh?

If you want cheap shopping in Mumbai, you`ll find it at stalls and markets!

At the markets in Mumbai, you`ll find clothes, silks, bags, souvenirs, antiques, beautiful jewellery (wooden ear rings and bangles are everywhere) and much much more!

We went shopping at the stalls on the Colaba Causeway, starting from Regal theater.

My favourite bargain was the Aladdin pants (Rs 150). They`re baggy and comfy, and comes in different colors. I also bought other loose pants (resemble pyjamas) for 2 dollars. In countries like India, you can`t exactly wear a miniskirt, and jeans are too hot to wear. So these pants are perfect. I also bought some nice tunics (Rs 200) for me and my boyfriend and a party dress for Rs 200 (ordinary Rs 250).

If you`re looking for shoes or sandals, you`ll find these in different colors, purple, yellow, orange, pink etc. for Rs 250-350.

A t-shirt shouldn`t cost you more than Rs 100, and sometimes they yell at you "For you, sir -- Rs 30." Slings bags should cost between Rs 100-150, "silk" scarves -- Rs 250-300, ordinary scarves (not silk) Rs 40-100 (depends on quality).

Note: If you buy antiques, remember that it`s illegal to take anything over 100 years old out of the country…

Another cheap option for Mumbai shopping is buying from vendors.

If you love the smell of old books, or just want to read one -- you can get old books for Rs 10 (if you bargain) and up to Rs 1000. Clothing, like blouses and tunics should cost Rs 25-40.

But I experienced that the prices in Mumbai were higher than other cities in India. So, if I were you, I would save most of the shopping for Jaipur!

Chor Bazaar (Thieves Market)

Chor Bazaar is a large flea market where you can get anything from furniture and engines to Bollywood souvenirs. A good treasure hunt for the patient ones! But the antiques are the most interesting items -- they look real, but whether it`s authentic or not is questionable.

Stroll around the market to compare prices because there are supposed to be "fixed" prices -- but it`s ok to bargain.

We didn`t find it touristy here, so the market is worth a visit.

Chor Bazaar is located in a muslim area in south Mumbai. So when you`re done at the market, visit the surrounding mosques.
