not sure if you mean to use in usa or to use here. Duty free at sanford excellent spent $500 dollars there and got total bargains on perfume, after shave and clinique. i saved buying shower gel until i got there and not really any cheaper in walgreens and if anything like us you travel light to go anyway so buy them on offer in uk before you go.

Either airport really,cant say that i have stumbled on any bargains except my VS. The rest seems dearer but i dont know if that just me.

I had priced up at boots previously, then looked in bloomingdales and macys, i did buy some clinique in macys as it was just over half of uk price, i use all time anyway so anything is a saving and i didnt want to risk airport not having, but bought hugo boss, gautier, and armani all at approx half uk price. vodka was cheap $14.95 a litre in case you were wondering. Think you have to hedge your bets though as they didnt have a couple of the perfumes i wanted and didnt have my foundation at the airport so glad i did at least get one bottle at macys.

Clinique make up is cheaper at a US airport than at Macy's and certainly alot cheaper than at our duty free over here.
