People travel for all sorts of reasons, and shopping happens to be one of them. It may seem unusual, but true shopaholics know each new place has something new to offer and they’re ready to go the extra mile to find new items they like and save some extra money along the way.
If you’re thinking of embarking on a shopping trip, here’s a couple of things to keep in mind.
Pack Smart
Your luggage shouldn’t be full before you hit the road, because you should save some room for all the items you’re going to buy. Never pack more clothes than you need to, since you’re going to get something new, anyway.
Shops to Avoid
Many of the shops you’ll find abroad are already available in your home country. Unless there’s a huge discount involved, you won’t be saving any money by shopping in them, since you can already find the same items back home.
Duty-Free?
Unless you went overboard during your shopping trip and bought many pricy items, you shouldn’t worry about paying custom fees. Many of the products are tax-free, but you should consider keeping the receipts, just in case.
