Totally agree with Sammibabe and Kitch50 on this one! We also take a set amount out with us each day and when its gone, its gone. We have never ever needed more and most days have money left to blow in the last few days of the holiday...we also have never went without anything we wanted on holiday.

I for one dont think US shopping is any cheaper generally than in the UK - but i suppose we dont really go for the shopping so maybe thats why we dont know where the bargains are. Enjoy your holiday and make us all jealous with trip reports when you come home!
