Trainers and Jeans!

I got a pair of Nikes that are £140 in the Nike store here and were $109 after tax, so around £65-70.

I always buy Tommy Hilfiger jeans as well as they seem to fit me best jeans wise. Here they retail at around £100, there I got 2 pairs for $55 each with a further 40% discount.

It used to be electrical items. I picked up a personal CD player many years ago for half the price they were in the UK. Not so cheap now so I tend to go with clothes - especially trainers for my son. Picked up a pair of Nikes for him on our last visit for $20 (compared to the £30+ they were in the UK). I like Converse All Star Hi-Tops so intend on getting at least one pair while I'm out there (even the non-outlet price is £15 cheaper than the UK!)

OH got puma trainers from the outlet that worked out about £20, DD bought 4 handbags from juicy couture. They retail here around £200 each and we paid about $50 each. Guess handbag and purse for $60, handbags are over £125 alone over here. See theres a handbag theme here!

Disney Christmas ornaments also cheaper here.

Tumble dryer sheets from Costco so much cheaper than here always bring back two boxes and it lasts me for a year! Tequila again I treat myself to patron for a special margarita now and again , and all the usual things for the family, converse, Levi's, t shirts , years ago there was a great choice of designer names in baby items and I got a suitcase filled with beautiful clothes for my niece but this year I was searching relentlessly for three weeks and couldn't find much for my two year old nephew and new baby boy clothes, I think the outlets seem to just keep stocking the same stuff which is becoming very dated year in and year out., you really have to search for something different now for children xxx
