I am staying at a hotel there and am going shopping on Robson street but those stores are a little exspensive. Are there any good malls around with a little cheaper stores?

Pacific Centre Mall is right there, at the end of the expensive shops between Howe and Granville. Or you can jump on skytrain at Granville for a 20 minute ride and go to Metrotown. It's a cluster of 3 malls right beside the skytrain stop.

There is the Pacific Centre Mall, but if you are willing to jump on the Skytrain, there are four more malls you can easily get to – if you stay on the Expo line, you can get to Metrotown (the biggest mall in BC) within about 20 minutes from downtown. Keep going, and in another 30 or so minutes, you will arrive at Guildford Centre in Surrey (it’s a pretty crappy mall, as far as malls go, so I wouldn’t really bother). If you take the Millennium Line, you can get to Brentwood Town Centre in about 20 minutes from downtown, or Lougheed Town Centre another 15 minutes after that (Brentwood is closer, but Lougheed is bigger). If you don’t mind crowds and lots of kids, Metrotown is a great choice. After that, I’d choose Lougheed.

Stay at the Youth Hostel on Burnaby Street(near Thurlow and Davie Streets). All hotels in the downtown core charge over $100 per night in peak seasons, and fill up quickly, especially if there is a major event happening. It is possible to walk from one side of downtown to the other in about 20 minutes. Pacific Centre Mall is also conveniently located in the middle of downtown. If you are staying downtown, you can walk to Stanley Park(it starts at the end of Robson Street). You can also pay $2.50 for a public transit ticket to the centre of Stanley Park, from where you can hop on to a free shuttle bus around the park.

hey mckahlan, Guildford is actually not at the end of the skytrain line. That is Surrey Place and not exactly the place you want to be sending tourists to. Guildford is another 15 minutes by bus and has a little more selection than Surrey Place. But Metrotown is definitely the place to go if you feel the urge to shop.

In downtown Vancouver, you can go shopping at The bay & The Pacific centre.
Outsite of downtown the biggest mall is in Metrotown, take skytrain to metrotown STN.
Or go to Richmond by "98 B-Line" bus.
