I'm in the US at the moment and with the current exchange rate a lot of stuff seems more expensive here than it is at home. Is there anything worth looking out for - in particular, things which aren't available back home yet? I work in education, with a focus on technology, and am a photography geek. I'll be in New York for the next few days. Appreciate suggestions; I won't be back here for a while.

Yep, went to woodburn outlet in portland oregon yesterday. They had AUD $21 ralph lauren tshirts which i thought were a steal, cheaper than cotton on!
Ross or Marshall. Found true religion t shirt for 30 bucks
VF outlet for Jeans - Lee/Rider/Wrangler a few years back you could get Jean shorts for $8 and Jeans $12 - irregular. Or $20 for new.
Shirts/Tshirts also very cheap.
Join their rewards program for extra savings
Dont forget WalMart/Target given that their cheapies are also quite good quality and styles/Colours/Patterns, while common in the US, wont be seen here as oiften, are more "exclusive".
I keep getting asked about a Tshirt bought at Kmart for $2, where can it be bought here.
Levis 501s
Shoes / hiking boots
Designer label stuff from outletswith their exchange rate/s it not really worth it anymore
Pelican cases. Seriously.
I prefer to walk my pelican in a harness
Huge jar of 1000x generic ibuprofen for $12 at Walmart.
Won't need to buy nurofen again for years!Peanut butter and jelly
Go to an outlet and load up on $10 Tommy Hilfiger / Ralph t-shirts. The majority of the outlets have good bargains! If you're in New York, check out Century 21, they're having their big sales at the moment but even on a normal day it's cheap as chips!
