    Not sure about smokes, but I've often found that duty free shops are more expensive than normal shops. Captive audience and massive mark up.
    Think it's all a bit of a con.

    Might be worth checking out prices at the other end as it may be better to buy coming back rather than going out. TBH I don't bother myself, if you want loads of cheap grog and some decent savings, get on the ferry and load the car up in a Calais hypermarket.

  • Fags are cheaper in the USA. 200 marlboro are about £10.

    Also if you're going to somewhere like Boston take the time to shop properly, I get double gold tagged RL polo shirts and formal oxfords for bugger all. Sell them to chavs on eBay for £30+. NY is shoot and
    overpriced.
    Visit Clacton during the School holidays - it's like a never ending freak show.

    Who are you calling inbred?
  • Oh and you can get shades really cheap. I've got a pair of GA, not the cheapo Emporio ones for £40, the frames alone cost £250 here.
