The first time we were there we spent over 4 hours browsing the entire place. We went back at least once a month and just took in part of it at a time. There are all kinds of bargains out there (as well as a lot of junk). You just have to shop around. I bought a package of short socks to wear with my sandals - 5 pair for $5. They have held up much better than I expected for the price. I will be buying more when needed. I got a leather belt and buckle for $4 and it is doing great too. We have bought some cheap t-shirts and they are not great but are at least as good as the ones you get in the tourist shops and the printing is holding up just fine. This is the largest market of this kind that we have ever been to and would recommend that everyone who is in the Mesa area stop and check it out. No, it is not a swap meet but they don't call themselves a swap meet. There are some people who do make their own items there. We talked to and bought jewelry from a man who makes it himself and we had a sign made for the campsite that was made by the vendor himself. We love the Mesa Marketplace!
