Bargains from the US?

[daz.rathbone]

Heading to the US (Chicago) in just over a week - first time I've visited.

Anyway wondered what bargains are still to be had over there? There's certain sweets and stuff I'm bringing back for the kids, mostly stuff that can't be bought over here (including some cereal - Fruit Loops - which I'm told are good), but other than that what's worth bringing back?

Was also told that cosmetics are a bargain, so the Mrs is getting a list together. Had a dig around on PC bits, and tbh there doesn't seem to be much in it for most items, certainly not enough to risk losing warranty or risk getting duty thrown onto it.

Suggestions?

Don't know whether you'll get any bargains as such because the exchange rate isn't so much in our favour as it has been.

Stuff you can't get over here is generally stuff to eat

Kool Aid, Aleve painkillers, Clear Eyes whitening drops, root beer, Capn Crunch, Bitch Smax etc.

That does look nice, and just found a store in Chicago too... will take a look.

Cheers Jonny69 - I showed the kids that UK store (americansoda) that imports all the foodstuffs, and just said "pick a couple of things" - am not paying for an extra case full of MDew though
