    Bought a camera Fuji ZF10 for $150, same camera is on sale on special offer here for E195.

    Boyfriend got a 2GB Sony computer for about $600, same here is around E600

    Cosmetics are much cheaper in America, all the major brands (Clinque, Mac, Bobbi Brown etc) are at about half the price here.

    tbh, most stuff is cheaper over there. And you've the chance to go to shops we don't have here, Victoria Secrets, Abercrombie and Fitch. I got lots of Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren tops for $20 each, same ones here would be about E50 at least.

    I've bought a camera, laptop and Nintendo DS there for far cheaper than here.

    Bit weird, but you can stock up on pharmacy items there too for a lot cheaper than here. Paracetemol, solpadine, etc. Also Mach 3 blades or replacement heads for battery toothbrushes are cheaper.

    Check out Walgreens or Duane Reades.

    Forgot about that, we also stocked up on razor blades and condoms, both are much cheaper over there.
