Whilst I should actually be setting a Science test right now, I suddenly feel the desire to write a blog post instead. Procrastination.... check! So, I hope you find this helpful.
Tax free is not always cheaper.
Aboard some flights and in shops at certain airports in some countries, goods will be advertised as duty-free (tax free). This means that whatever you buy is tax free, provided you plan on taking it out of the country. While you may find some great specials (and Christmas gifts), look carefully as sometimes you can actually buy the product for cheaper outside of the airport. I found this to be particularly true for food products such as chocolates. I was able to buy the exact same product for cheaper in a local supermarket. Perhaps this was just my experience though, so let me know what you think.
Duty-free, however, seemed really worth it for more expensive items such as jewelry or perfume. Just be observant and do not fall for it just because the name has the word "free" in it.
Happy shopping (or not).
