THE Big Apple promises the best bargains for Britons wanting to do their Christmas shopping abroad this year, it was revealed today.
A typical range of designer gifts is 25% cheaper on average in New York than in London at the moment, a survey by Post Office travel services showed.
The good deals are available due to the recent strengthening of the pound against the US dollar and the fact that big New York stores are holding their prices down.
An Abercrombie & Fitch men’s shirt, for example, is £70 in London but only £22.92 in New York, while Levi’s 501 jeans, which cost £60 in London, are £31.51 in New York.
The biggest saving on toys is for a Rubik’s 360 puzzle, which is £10.39 in New York, but £20 in London.
