    What do you buy?

    Do you buy anything in Florida that you just cannot get in England?
    Or are you like me and can't wait to get there for those things that are so much cheaper than home? I love the cheap cosmetics in the supermarkets.

    Think where just like you Polly, the savings to be made are great.
    Don't think we have bought the kids Trainers (Sneekers) in UK for about 3 years. We tend to take 3 cases with us one which is nearly empty and just fill it up with clothes and other things on our way back. It seems to be the only Holiday we go on where we bring back more than we take.

    My two sons are really looking forward to going to Florida this year and "shopping till we're dropping". They are both keen on clothes shopping which is great and they have saved up their own money to shop with.[msnsmile2]

    Just like you!!

    I buy cosmetics for myself and my 3 daughters and clothes.

    Years ago, when we first used to go, I always brought some Goo Gone back because you could not get it here, but you can now. I do still bring back iron cleaner.

    I took four cases this year, three of them were empty. I bought lovely bedding with matching bits and peices from J C Penney. I also go a bit mad buying for the children, I could have filled three cases with clothes from Little Me which is in Orlando Premium Outlets. For the under 5s this shop is perfect.
    I've always been to Osh Kosh B Gosh in the past but I was very disappointed with the stock this year.

    I love EVERYTHING in Walmart - cosmetics and just bits and bobs!
    Yankee Candle - Fruit Smoothie Candle, ceramics and the car air freshners which are little glass jars that clip on to your fans (can only get the cardboard ones here!). Also the little egg box container that fits 18 candles - no wonder my luggage is heavy!
    Old Navy t-shirts - bought loads this year and some for my 3 year old too.

    Lots of stuff from the Disney stores, especially a Christmas ornament engraved with the year etc - its tradition!
