Putting together your shopping list? Then check out this post for a complete list of what is still worth buying in the US in 2025, even with the high dollar. The best electronics, beauty items, clothes, shoes, accessories, home goods, toys, baby gear, sports gear and much more!
When I first wrote this post, before the countless updates over the years, the rule was clear: shopping in the United States was very advantageous, and practically all products were cheaper abroad than in Brazil.
With the devaluation of the real, however, the exchange rate for us Brazilians is no longer so favorable. And if before you didn't even need to do many calculations, you just had to take a look and you were already I knew that a product was cheaper than in Brazil, now it is not quite like that.
The truth is that in 2025, there are still several products worth buying in the US… And several that are no longer worth buying. As incredible as it may seem, even when we talk about electronics and luxury brands, some items are even cheaper in the national market.
Therefore, to make good purchases during your trip, you need to research and compare prices. You can no longer buy without thinking. To help you with this research, I have gathered together in this post the best products when it comes to what to buy in the USA in 2025. Those that continue to be worth it, even with the rise of the dollar.
No time to go shopping?
If you have a tight itinerary and no time to go to the stores, or want to make sure you get everything on your wish list, my suggestion is to buy from American Amazon. The store has everything and delivery is usually super fast. To make things easier, I've already left the product links! If your hosting charges to receive orders, you also You can use the free Amazon Locker service, which I already explained how it works in this post.
Just remember to change the shipping address to a US address so that you can see all the items that deliver to your destination. If Amazon asks if you want to be redirected to the Brazilian Amazon, click NO.
The same must be done if you use the Amazon App. The app will automatically redirect you to the American store, but you need to add an address in the United States, or you won't see all the product options, only those that ship to your country (and the point here is to shop while traveling, right?).
What to Buy in the USA in 2025 – Best Products
It is worth remembering that in the United States, products do not include state tax in the price. Therefore, the values presented are not final, and you still need to add this percentage to know how much you will pay. To find out the sales tax amount at your destination, you can check this post.
<strong>Remember that prices in the US don't include state taxes.</strong>You'll need to add the tax to the listed price, whether you're shopping online or in stores. You can search for the tax rate in a specific state by Googling "<em>name of state + tax</em>", but here are some popular rates: <br><br> <ul><li>New York City - 8,5%</li> <li>Orlando - 6,5%</li> <li>Miami - 7%</li> <li>Los Angeles - 9,5%</li></ul>.
Electronics
By far, the best savings you can make will be in the electronics department, especially if you are from places like South America or Asia. Of course, if you are from Europe, prices won't be that much lower, but you might still be able to save some money.
iPhone
Probably the most popular thing to buy when you travel abroad, especially if you are from a place where Apple is craaaaazy expensive (Brazil, anyone?!)
Currently the top of the line model is the iPhone 16, which is sold in regular, Plus, Pro and Pro Max versions. Regardless of the version chosen, prices in American stores are practically half the price in official Brazilian stores, even with the dollar soaring. Therefore, if you intend to buy a new iPhone, you should definitely do so abroad.
If you want a simpler model, you can opt for the iPhone SE, whose design is reminiscent of older iPhones. The price difference between Brazil and the United States is not as big as for top-of-the-line models, but you will still be able to save a considerable amount.
SAVE BIG ON APPLE PRODUCTS!
Amazon has a program called "Amazon RenewedAmazon offers a program called "<a href="https://amzn.to/47JgWR4" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Amazon Renewed</a>," which provides refurbished products at a reduced price. Every item is expertly tested and comes with a 90-day warranty. It's a fantastic way to save money, which is how I purchased my MacBook Pro back in 2018. There, you can find a variety of iPhone models, including the latest ones like the <a href="https://amzn.to/421sMoF" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">iPhone 14 Pro</a>. iPhone 15.
Samsung smartphones
For those who don't like Apple, Samsung devices also have a better value in the United States. This is true for the Galaxy S line, even in the version Galaxy s24 ultra, as well as the sensation of the moment that the brand's Flip cell phones are. O Galaxy z flip 6 can be found for almost half the price.
Huawei cell phones are not yet officially sold in the USA.Xiaomi cell phones can be found in some stores, but when converted, the prices are very similar to those charged in Latin America, where it is still possible to pay in installments.
Mirrorless Cameras
In the past, you needed a DSLR camera to take high-quality photos, but it was inconvenient to carry around. That's no longer an issue with mirrorless cameras, which offer the same quality as DSLRs but are much lighter.
It is the favorite type of most vloggers, frequent tourists, instagrammers and amateur photographers. I use it here for the blog and I was super satisfied with the investment. The best cost-benefit models are those from Sony, such as Alpha a6400 (I use the older model, the 5000), the Fujifilm ones, like the Fujifilm X-T50. Depending on the offer, you can save more than R$2500!
Apple Watch
I'd better explain that all Apple products are more worthwhile if purchased in the United States, since the prices charged in Brazil are absurd. The Apple Watch, as expected, is no exception. On the contrary, it more than confirms the rule, and often the price of a watch like this in Brazilian stores is enough to buy TWO of the same abroad.
The most current model is the Watch Series 10, released in 2024, and the WatchUltra 2. If you want to save money, it's still worth buying the cheapest version, the WatchSE.
Garmin Forerunner
Now, if you prefer a watch more focused on physical exercise, a Garmin is the ideal option. The Forerunner model is the brand's most popular, with the 945 version being the most robust and complete, while the 45 is perfect for those who want to save money and just check some essential data.
The top of the line model is the Forerunner 965, while the most basic version is the Forerunner 55. Again, in both cases you can practically buy two watches abroad for the price charged in Brazil.
iPad
Surprise, lol. Current models vary between iPad PRO, which can be 11 or 12.9 inches, with versions from 128GB to 2TB of memory and M4 processor. O iPad Air, which is a slightly cheaper version, with a 11-inch screen, less memory and multiple colors. O “Regular” iPad, with the current 2022 model measuring 10.2 inches, and the iPad Mini, with 8.3 inches, A17 chip and Apple Intelligence.
Like the Apple Watch, I didn't see much fun in an iPad until I had one. Today I use it for journaling, reading books, creating lists, watching series, and even working instead of my MacBook using the keyboard and the Apple Pencil (which seems redundant, but it transforms the experience of using an iPad).
Apple Computers
It doesn't matter if you want a laptop or a desktop, if you're going to buy an Apple computer, the prices in the United States are half the price you'll find in Brazil.
The MacBook line (the laptops) is divided between Macbook Air e Macbook Pro. The Air is lighter, has an M3 chip, and is available in 13 and 15-inch versions. It is perfect for those who use their computer on a daily basis and have lighter workloads. The Pro version is for those who need a lot of power, with an M4 chip, a 10-core CPU, and 14 and 16-inch screens.
If you prefer a desktop computer, Apple gives you 3 options: the Mac Mini, the iMac and the Mac Studio. Mac Mini has just been revamped with M4 chips, and is a very powerful mini computer (I use the previous version for my blogging and video work). The iMac is the brand's iconic computer available in more than 6 colors, recently updated to the M4 chip. The MacStudio It is Apple's most powerful version, aimed at those people who edit 4K videos and do other heavy work.
Electronics that are NOT worth buying in the United States
It may seem surprising, but with the exception of Apple, which has absurd prices in Brazil, there are few electronics that are still cheaper in the US.
For example, the Playstation 5 costs US$499 + taxes, which converts to something around R$3200.. In Brazil, you can purchase the same console for just over R$3300.
Sony's headphones, which are some of the best on the market, are also no longer worth it. The current model, WH-100XM5 costs $399 + taxes (almost R$2560 at the current price), and on Brazilian Amazon it costs R$2590.
Either way, you can always write down the prices in Brazil and take them with you during your trip. If you find a promotion, just do the math to see if the discount is worth it.
Home items
Don't worry, I'm not talking about household appliances or televisions – these items, although cheaper in the United States, are also difficult (or even impossible) to pack in your suitcase. Even so, you can still take advantage of the trip to save on some purchases, such as:
Robot vacuum cleaner
I still remember watching Breaking Bad and seeing Jesse throw a party, with his vacuum robot cleaning up the mess afterwards. I've wanted one of those robots ever since, and they've only become more popular as the years go on. In the United States, however, you will find thousands of options available at several different price ranges.
The most famous models are those from the iRobot brand (which, despite the name, has no relationship with Apple), ranging from the most basic Roomba 694 until the Roomba i8+ self-emptying. Other quality brands are Roborock and Shark, which initially has the most powerful model.
NutriBullet Blender
O NutriBullet Initially it was launched as a smaller blender (hence the name “bullet”), with the aim of helping you make the Smoothie Perfect. Due to its great success, and blade system that cuts practically everything, today the brand already sells blenders of different sizes, perfect for any of your culinary needs.
It's a great product option to buy in the United States, because you can save a few hundred bucks compared to the rest of the world. Because it's small, it's also easy to bring in your suitcase!
Smart Scale
What if I told you scales can measure your weight and your fat percentage, BMI, muscle mass, and more? These are known as smart scales, and even though they are new, the US already has countless models with all types of prices. My recommendation is the RENPHO Bluetooth Body Fat Scale. It's an excellent choice because it has an app with all your statistics so you can measure your progress, doesn’t matter if your goal is to lose fat, gain mass or just get healthy in general.
My suggestion is to RENPHO Bluetooth Body Fat Scale. It's super cool because it comes with a app where your measurements are stored, so you can track your progress, regardless of whether your goal is to lose weight, gain mass or “just” improve your health in general.
Beauty
Besides electronics, beauty products are the most worthy category when we talk about what to buy in the USA. Not just because they are cheaper, but also because you can find some brands that are only sold there, and most of them are not only good but also affordable! *score*
The Ordinary
Starting with one of my favorite brands, The Ordinary. If we are honest, you can find it in most countries these days, but usually, it's through resellers (most times not even official stores), and their prices are sky-high. In the USA, though, prices are way lower, and you can buy an entire skincare routine without spending too much. My favorites are the Hyaluronic Acid + B5 (great light moisturizer), the Niacinamide + Zinc (vitamin complex for your skin), and the Peeling Solution AHA 30% + BHA 2% (chemical exfoliant). The face oils are also great and go from super light to heavy, so you can find one to suit any skin type. I've used these products for years, and I can say they changed my skin!
In the USA, however, the prices are much lower and you can put together an entire skin care routine without spending a lot. The products are of great quality, and most come in dropper bottles, like homeopathic remedies. My favorites are Hyaluronic Acid with B5 (super moisturizing), Niacinamide + Zinc (vitamin complex for skin) and Peeling Solution AHA 30% + BHA 2% (chemical exfoliant). Facial oils are also great, and range from heavy to light, for all skin types. I use it every day and I can say without a doubt that it has changed my skin!
Here on the blog there is a post explaining which are the best products from The Ordinary.
Drunk Elephant
Another skincare brand, but a little more expensive. The proposal is to use natural and non-toxic ingredients, especially Marula Oil, for healthier and more vibrant skin. The most famous products are TLC Sukari Babyfacial 25% AHA + 2% BHA Mask (chemical exfoliant), TLC Framboos™ Glycolic Resurfacing Night Serum (night serum) and, of course, the Virgin Marula Antioxidant Face Oil (facial oil).
You can find the best Drunk Elephant products for your skin in this post!
The brand is super popular nowadays and is having a huge success abroad. It can also be found at Brazilian Sephora, but the prices…
Asian Cosmetics
Other products that have gained enormous popularity in recent years are Asian cosmetics, especially those made in South Korea and Japan. The list of recommendations is long, and they are easy to find in the US! My favorites are the COSRX Snail Mucin 96 Essence, the serum Gokujun Premium by Hada Labo and the Round Lab sunscreen.
Here on the blog there is also a complete post with product suggestions for those who want to follow a Korean skin care routine (it's 10 steps!)
Mario Badescu Drying lotion
The number one solution to get rid of pimples. Just dip a cotton swab to the bottom of the packaging (the formula is two-phase) and then apply directly to any visible pimple. The results are surprising and the Drying Lotion It's been one of the brand's best sellers for years!
Remembering that here on the blog I already did a post with the best beauty products to buy in the United States, with tips on products such as moisturizers, soaps, exfoliants, sunscreen and much more!
Shea Moisture
Now for hair products.I have the impression that Shea Moisture is not that well-known outside the US, but it should be since their products are made with excellent ingredients and have an incredible price! In addition, they have a lot of different lines – most of them full of oils and moisturizing factors – and they have options for all types of hair.
I suggest the line Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil and Black Castor Oil Strengthen & Restore Hair Serum.
Olaplex
<a href="https://amzn.to/3eG5SLr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Olaplex</a> is kind of the new kid on the block when we talk about hair products, but it is already famous and used in hair studios worldwide. Instead of names, their products have numbers, and numbers #1 and #2 are for professional use only. Number #3 is a mix between a mask and a treatment, and it helps strengthen your hair. It has an exclusive technology that can reverse damage caused by chemical treatments, straighteners, hairdryers, and even from the wind and sun! <strong>It's kind of a miracle on a bottle.</strong>
Olaplex #3 is the brand's best-seller (and for a reason - let me tell you that stuff is MAGIC! My hair has never been better!), but you can also try #4 and #5, shampoo and conditioner. Read my full review of Olaplex here!
I have both Nº3 and Nº6 and I use it every time my hair needs help, looks broken or lifeless. The difference is absurd, it looks like I just left the salon!
Dyson Airwrap
I'm going to apologize for recommending a product at that price, and yes, that's what you're reading when you click on the link. Probably one of the most expensive hair products I've ever seen, and also one of the most recommended on the entire internet.
O Dyson Airwrap has a multipurpose proposal. With different tips, you can create curls, give it that salon-style look, or even just dry your hair.. It has a single temperature that is “ideal” for the hair, and a technology that “wraps” the strands around the tip to make the work easier (hence the name Airwrap).
Be careful because in the United States, they only sell the 110V version! If you live in a place where the standard voltage is 220V, this device will not work.
It is a phenomenon on TikTok and has already been copied by several companies, like Shark with its FlexFusion! The FlexFusion is cool because in addition to curling, it also has an attachment for straightening hair even when your hair is wet (inspired by another Dyson model, the AirStrait).
Here on the blog there is also a post with the best hair products to buy in the United States, with tips on shampoo, conditioner, masks, sprays and much more!
Makeup
Do not waste your time with brands you can find at any Sephora around the world. Yes, Urban Decay, Too Faced, and Nars are good, but they are not the best, and you can find so many better options in the US.
Don't waste time buying the brands that sell in Brazil. Yes, Fenty Beauty, Rare, Urban Decay, Too Faced, NARS are good brands, but with the high dollar exchange rate at the moment, it's not worth buying them abroad. The prices are practically the same, at most you save R$20-R$30 on more expensive products like foundations.
Do you want to invest your money in high quality products? Shop Natasha Denona's eyeshadow palettes, and Hourglass' skincare products (the Ambient Light Powder it's surreal and looks like photoshopped in real life). Want to end up in a brand? Go for it Charlotte Tilbury, a super famous makeup artist brand with incredible products!
Want to save and still get good items? Go with drugstore or cheap brands, they are wonderful! I really like elf, with their skin products like Halo Glow Liquid Filter and powder from the same line. Here on the blog there is a post just with the best elf products

Clothes
I think it goes without saying that if you have a trip to Europe planned in the next couple of months, you should not buy from any European brands while in the US. Yes, they are cheap there, but they are even more affordable in Europe, and if you don't live there, you can even get your tax back when going home!
Here are some brands to enjoy in the US:
- The North Face: perfect for those who are going to face extreme weather conditions or just feel colder than they are used to. Want to get super hot? I suggest to Thermoball. For a jacket that fits all situations, the best option is the Triclimate Jacket.
- Guess: another popular brand among Brazilians and which is much cheaper abroad. If you are going to one of the popular destinations – such as Orlando or New York – be sure to visit the outlets where the prices are even better.
- GAP: O sweatshirt with the GAP logo They are a rite of passage for anyone coming to the United States for the first time. No further. (But the brand's jeans and basics are great, too.)
- Polo Ralph Lauren: Yes, the brand is American and therefore has great prices in the USA. The most popular product among Brazilians are classic polo shirts, but you can find other pieces of great quality.
- Tommy Hilfiger: Another store worth checking out the outlets before buying. There are several recommendations, from most basic shirts, underwear and even bags and accessories.
- Calvin Klein: The best investment when talking about brand products is in jeans and in underwear that are limited edition – the classics go on sale in Brazil and the savings are too little to make it worth it.
Some teenage brands that don't sell in Brazil and that are also worth it are Hollister and Abercrombie. For those with a more casual style, American Eagle and Aeropostale are also a good option.
Accessories
Coach
The handbag brand has returned to popularity in recent years, especially due to its celebrity collaborations. Currently the most famous model is the Brooklyn 28.
Kate Spade
Another accessories brand, Kate Spade is perfect for those who like the girly style, as it uses pastel colors, colorful prints and polka dots. You find bags, wallets, watches, jewelry and other small items that will transform any look from basic to super interesting.
Michael Kors
A favorite among Brazilian women, Michael Kors is the ideal option for those who can invest a little more in quality accessories. The brand not only sells iconic bags, but also wallets, watches, sunglasses and other items that will make your look more elegant.
My suggestions are the clocks, which has a super modern and luxurious design, and the scholarships. If you like monogram prints, the brand has great options!
What isn't really worth it when we are talking about accessories? From my research, I found out that expensive sunglasses tend to be costly everywhere, including in the US. The price difference from other American countries is not that big, much less in Europe.
Luxury brands used to be cheaper, but today the price of a Louis Vuitton Neverfull, for example, is the same in the US as it is in Brazil. For this type of product, it is more worthwhile to buy in Europe. There is a post here on the blog with all the products that are worth buying in Europe.
Sports
This for me is the most difficult category, as the answer to the question “is it worth it” varies a lot between brands and pieces.
As a general rule, workout or running shoes are cheaper in the United States, especially if you don't want a newer model and buy them at outlets.. You can find Nike, Adidas and even Asics for under $100 and sometimes even under $50! Current models cost almost the same price abroad.
Otherwise, I only found good value for workout clothes in stores like TJMaxx or ROSS, which are at the top end of the stock. Leggins from Nike and Adidas, for example, I've found cheaper in Brazil when compared to the price in American stores.
For workout items, I recommend going to outlets, going into brand stores and looking for promotions. I always take sneakers (I google the models that are available to see which ones are good) and, sometimes, one or two pieces that are discounted on the day.
Vitamins
Now, if there is one category that I can say with my eyes closed that it is always cheaper without worrying about the price, it is vitamins. Some examples:
- Centrum: A Centrum multivitamin with 200 capsules in the US is the same price as the 30 capsules anywhere else. Do I need to say more?
- Vitamin D: Most brands sell it at 2000, 10000, and 50000 IU, and they are all super cheap. If you regularly take Vitamin D supplements, you should definitely stock some of them on your trip.
- Cranberry: Not insanely cheap, but if you compare to prices in Latin America, it's almost half of what you pay over there.
- melatonin: The ideal supplement for those who suffer from insomnia, trouble sleeping or even jet lag.
In the past, it was worth buying whey and other supplements in the United States, but doing the math, in 2025 it will be cheaper to buy in Brazil, especially with the options of national brands. Even imported ones, like Optimum Nutrition, I found much cheaper on Amazon Brazil than on the American one.
Toys
Is it really a trip if you don't buy toys for your kids or your relatives? Nah. When we talk about what to buy in the USA, toys are on the top of the list, and the popular ones are really cheap in the land of freedom.
LOL Dolls
Ok, listen – I had no idea what a LOL was until I read all those posts from parents asking where on earth to find these cause they were sold out everywhere. So if you are like me and have no clue what they are, they are just tiny dolls, and the fun part is that when you buy yours, you actually don't know which doll you are getting.
Even though you can find LOL dolls in other countries, you can find different themes and kits in the US, so you have way more options there.
LEGO
LEGO is a toy for all ages, let's be honest. <strong>Is it worth it to buy the regular sets with some blocks to play around with? </strong>Maybe, it depends on the number of blocks you choose. <strong>But is it worth it to buy the special sets? </strong>Absolutely.
I recommend the sets from Diagon Alley for Harry Potter fans, Millennium Falcon for anyone who is a fan of the Star Wars series or even the decoration sets, like this bouquet of flowers.
Slime Kit
The fact that Nickelodeon was finally able to get the Slime to stick… priceless. If your kids, nephews, or any kid in your life in general likes to play with Slime, then you have already found the perfect gift. Besides the different types of slimes, like this galaxy one, you can also find huge DIY kits, so they can "create" their own slime (don't worry, it's just different colors of slimes and "toppings" for them to embellish it).
I compared it to the kits in Brazil and in our country they are much more expensive and have much fewer options for decorations.
Funko Pop
I am not sure Funko Pop qualifies as a toy since it's basically collectibles and decoration, but hey, here they are. Again, it's almost the same price in Europe, but waaaay cheaper if you are from anywhere else. I remember my cousin being so shocked with the prices that on our last trip to Disney World, she took 7 Funko Pop home.
There are so many different collections that it is difficult to indicate just a few. funky specifics here, but I love the versions of Disney, the Marvel characters, the pokemons that are super cute and, of course, the different versions of Friends characters.
Baby things
Last but definitely not least, baby stuff. This category is so cheap in the USA that many bloggers and famous people take a trip abroad just to shop for all their baby essentials. So not only can you save some money, but you have so many good options to choose from!
Baby strollers
Starting with one of the best-selling strollers with the most praise in the category. O Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Stroller super easy to fold and store, lightweight, the wheels are suitable for any type of terrain, you can add accessories and it even has a brake that you can control from the hand bar, super easy to use. One of the favorites of foreign bloggers.
If you want a stroller that is a little more economical but still of excellent quality, the suggestion is to opt for the Graco Modes ClickConnect Stroller. It has a tray with cup holders and snacks for the child, plenty of space to place a diaper bag, connects with other products from the brand, the seat reclines and you can even choose whether you want to place your baby facing you or facing away.
Car seat
Graco's 4Ever 4-in-1 Car Seat is the best choice for a car seat cause it keeps up with the child's growth. You can use it for when your kid is an infant and needs the seat facing the rear of the car until they grow and can use it facing forward. It also connects with the car seat belt, and you can even use it as a booster.
In Brazil, prices for these long-lasting Graco models appear on Mercado Livre from R$2500 and can reach up to R$12000!
Baby Monitor
Infant Optics DXR-8 has already won several prizes in the baby monitor category, and it's perfect for those who want to keep an eye on their kids at all times since it has zoom and tilt functions. In addition, it's super light, so you can take it with you through your house with no hassles, and it has an FHSS connection, which means it doesn't go through the internet.
In Brazil, these types of monitors (or baby monitors) cost around R$1000, R$1400 in the case of this specific model.
Kangaroo
The LILLEbaby carrier allows you to carry your child in 6 different ergonomic styles, with straps that will enable you to use it in front of you or in a backpack style. It is also made of a breathable mesh, so you don't even have to worry about your infant's temperature. The perfect product for those who want a comfortable, stylish option to carry their baby.
Bottle sterilizer
An electric sterilizer that does all the work for you, so you can spend more time with your child instead of cleaning bottles. Dr. Brown's Electric Steam Sterilizer can be used for bottle parts and for nipples and even pacifiers. It uses steam to sterilize everything, and its design makes it easier to clean two bottles simultaneously.
What to buy in the USA – list of WHAT’S WORTH
No time to analyze all the products mentioned in this post? No problem, here's a list of what's really worth buying in the USA, so you can make the best decisions during your trip:
- iPhone
- Apple products in general
- Cosmetics (makeup, skin creams, hair creams, perfumes)
- Vitamins
- Brand Clothing (The North Face, Guess, Polo Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Abercrombie, Hollister, GAP, Calvin Klein, etc.)
- Accessories (Coach, Kate Spade, Michael Kors)
- Sneakers and Workout Clothes (only in outlets or stock outlets)
- Funko POP
- Baby layette
By following this list you will definitely make good purchases!
What's not worth buying in the US?
I already mentioned some products that are not worth buying in the US. Most of them have a low price difference compared to other countries, and then it makes no sense for you to spend your money on it. So instead, save to buy these items back home and buy other things on your trip.
- Sunglasses (brand) Sunglass Hut has almost the same price worldwide, especially in big brand names such as Ray Ban.
- Latest sneaker releases - The models CURRENT Not that much of a difference between prices in the US and other places. The older models are dirt cheap and more than worth it if you can go to outlets, though.
- Workout clothes – Especially if it's from Nike, Adidas, etc. Again, it's only worth it in outlets or in out-of-stock stores, like ROSS.
- Luxury Brands – almost the same price as that charged in Brazil for the main parts, it is more worthwhile to buy in Europe where the price is lower and you still get the tax amount back.
As you can see, there are few cases in which it is not worth buying something in the United States.
Is it worth buying from the duty-free shop?
NO! Do not confuse “shopping in the United States” with shopping in freeshop, even if you are thinking about duty free shops that are located at airports within the USA.
The prices charged by these stores are much higher than in stores within the country, and it's only worth buying something if you forgot a gift or couldn't find such a product anywhere else.
Phew, that's it! A complete list of what to buy in the USA, with tips on the best products in different categories! As you can see, it is possible to save a lot when it comes to shopping on the trip, lol.
