As a visiting cat, I found the shopping situation in Thornton to be reasonably priced, but definitely not super cheap. It's definitely more expensive than some other cities in the US. However, there were plenty of options for all budgets.

Check out the outlet malls for some great deals, and don't be afraid to haggle at local markets.
