    What do you buy?

    Did you buy something in Florida you just can't get in England? Or do you buy things there that are much cheaper than over her? Do tell.... so I can look out for bargains when i'm there.

    My son saves up for his Gameboy games, they are about the equivalent in Dollars to pounds so saves around 45% per game.

    Nearly always buy trainers too.

    Trainers especially Reebok and Skechers, DVDs and quite a lot of christmas decorations or home decorations that are folk art based. The weirdest one is Bounce tumble dryer sheets, we brought back boxes of them last time which were 99c in Walmart and £3.99 over here, I used them on our first holiday over there and the smell always reminds me of Florida!!!![msnsmile2]

    This is a bit of a flip-flop. I live here in Florida.
    When I visit the UK I always visit Bentalls in Kingston and spend probably too much on Denby china. The pattern we're collecting isn't imported here.
    Also I like Ben Sherman dress shirts. Also not available here. And my three year old is a 'Thunderbirds' fan (like his dad). So we see what new toys are around. And of course English sweets! Usually bring way too many back!

    Jeans and Ibuprofen. Those tubs of 500 Ibuprofens that WalMart sell for about $7 are just amazing value.

    So we aren't the only ones to have rather suspicious rattling sounds coming from our luggage, eh, Steve?[msnwink]
