It depends on the show's layout.

at Houston and Lancaster the vendors are closest to the main entrances, so I zipped through them first; made mental notes; go back to look more closely at anything that still interests me after i've been through the quilt exhibits.

at Jacksonville and Amelia Island, i went straight to the quilts because those displays started at the entrance.

at this stage of the game, i consider a show trip a success if i walk out with nothing in my bag except inspiration.
i have learned that most of the prices are about the same as i'd pay online.
i try hard to part with my $$$ only if it's something i really need and the price is especially low.

(ok ... confession ... i didn't really need that machine i got at Lancaster, but i really, really, really wanted it and the price was too good to pass up. LOL)
