Go to America
Stuck midway between the summer holidays and Christmas and fancy a quick break away?
A weekend in the States has rarely been cheaper, with the pound at a 26-year high against the dollar.
There’s a double bonus for UK visitors, as consumer goods are already much cheaper in the States than in Britain, so do your Christmas shopping while you’re there.
Actually, you don’t even need to fly to the States to do your shopping.
Buy goods direct from US rather than UK sites (bypassing amazon.co.uk and going to amazon.com) means the savings you make will more than make up for a slight delay and increase in shipping charges.
