Designer Gear, compare Armani Jeans from Armani Exchange at the Pointe on I-Drive for $43 + tax against Armani Jeans from Selfridges in London for £88.

No comparison is there?

into branded names myself

I think he probably just went in the wrong shops. I'll make a note of any that are posted here for his next visit. To be honest I'm going to need it myself I haven't been there for a while.

The U.S is definatly cheaper especially designer gear, electrical goods and cars, in march we bought 2 pairs of Sketcher trainers for $40, about 1/3 of the cost of one pair in the uk, all my wifes designer gear has been bought in the states over the last few years and she refuses to buy over here because of the costs.
I really love our shopping days [msncry]and watch the credit card go into overdrive !!

I don't think he is really, he just thinks if it's a bargain why not?
Just thought of something,this isn't one of those "a friend of mine has a funny rash, what do you think it is?" questions . He does exist honest

I did get some trainers from Walmart last year, seem to remember them being around $17 and they
still look great. DVD's are cheaper

Re: designer stuff. We were disappointed with the Premium Outlet Mall but the Hugo boss shop there was the exception - quite outstanding. Shirts, trousers at £30. Can't offer direct comparisons because I would rarely even walk in a Hugo Boss store back here!

Cosmetics are definitely cheaper in the US

[wrpac00]

You normally relate £ to $, but let me think what few things are cheaper in the US than the UK.

Eating out
Petrol
Trainers
All forms of clothing
Electrical goods
CD's, DVD's & Video's
Round of Golf with cart
Ten Pin Bowling
Golf clubs and gear
All household items
DIY stuff and tools

I have given now becuase there are so few things cheaper.
