Bargains still to be found despite drop in AUD

It's okay no need to panic that all the good US bargains will be gone now that the AUD is not as strong. I've just read Patrick Stafford's article titled "Retailers see little relief despite AUD falling to 97c" http://www.smartcompany.com.au/ and was particularly excited by the below example that he gave when comparing prices between USA and Australia. To see more product examples and read the article in full click on the above link. 


Handbag: Fossil Tote bag
Local: Fossil Australia store
Price: $279
Offshore: Fossil America Store
Price at $US1.09c: $156.24 (44%)
Price at $US0.97c: $173.04 (37%)


Happy Shopping!
