What bargains are must to purchase when visiting the usa

[Trix11]

Going to Florida soon and would like to treat myself - I heard Juicy tracksuits are cheaper there and apparently Marc Jacob products - anything else?

well if you want a Juicy tracksuit...

Gap/old navy/banana republic stuff is often cheaper, also Abercrombie.

There are some outlet malls in FL too but seem to rememebr them being mostly sportswear

GAP stuff

Make up - Stila, Clinique etc

Virtually everything is cheaper. Don't forget all prices are exclusive of sales tax though (about 6% when I was there)

I had a whale of a time in Gap and Old Navy -there is a Gap Outlet in Jacksonville and it was just ridiculously cheap.

The most ridiculous thing is that you can buy Boots No7 makeup in some stores over there - cheaper than you can buy it here

Don't buy any electricals though, will you?

Benefit make up!

oh and Bliss products

Definitely Benefit makeup.

Oh dear. Why am I getting the feeling I should have looked for some Benefit makeup.

Oh I cant wait

electronics, i.e. laptop

hanaflower you can buy Carmex here, just as cheap

I wouldn't buy electrics SpacePuppy - all american electrics run on 12 volts (or whatever it is) and would go BANG! over here. I bought a camera but that is different.

laptop chargers are available in the UK, I wouldn't buy a microwave.

It's nothing to do with the chargers as it's not just the plug that is the problem - it's the internal bits which run on different voltages. You would have to buy a transformer, and by the time you have done that you might as well have bought one over here

iPods or iTouch

Videocams, digital cameras

software

Ralph Lauren (go to Marshalls or TJ Maxx for great bargains)

Kids clothes

Pantyhose

Victoria Secret bras and knickers

Khiels products

Kid's toys

Ahhh [penny drops] You are talking about charging the internal battery of a laptop SP and not running it from the mains.

what about getting money changed apparently some places in central London are offering 1.96 to the £ whilst here in the midlands its about 1.89

Oh and I love juicy tracksuits they are sooo comfortable

if you are going to Orlando, take a look here

loads of stuff

And if you are going anywhere other than New York, I hope you can drive!

We can drive but don't intend on doing much of it - we are going to kissimee in Florida

You can buy your dollars online
