Qué comprar en United States
shopping@shoppingInDescription
Dependiendo de cómo esté el dólar en el momento en el que tengamos planeado viajar a Estados Unidos, este país puede resultar un auténtico paraíso para las compras. Sobre todo si viajamos en fechas especiales como diciembre, donde muchas tiendas ya han puesto las rebajas para Navidad.
La capital del mundo cuenta con un gran número de outlets repartidos por toda la ciudad donde encontrar gangas es bastante fácil, sobre todo en ropa, artículos deportivos o en electrónica.
La tienda más visitada por el viajero en cualquier parte del país americano suele ser Levi´s. Esta firma de vaqueros siempre cuenta con precios rebajados y, dependiendo del modelo, nos puede salir a mitad de precio respecto a Europa.
Los perfumes son otro de los bienes más comprados del país, pues salen más económicos, sobre todo si los compramos en grandes centros comerciales. Y no hay que olvidarse de la electrónica: cámaras de fotos, de vídeo, portátiles o tarjetas de memoria suelen ser algo más baratos.
En época de rebajas es cuando se pueden encontrar los mejores precios. Las mejores ciudades de Estados Unidos para salir de compras son Los Ángeles y Nueva York, ya que es donde más competencia hay y siempre hay gangas.
Clothes
If you are going shopping in the United States you are likely to end up buying some Levi's. This American brand is one of the most coveted by foreigners. Although it is not the only one, as in all the large cities there are countless outlets and shopping centres with garments of large firms at reduced prices such as at Livermore, Vacaville or Camarillo, in California; Century 21, Macy's, Jersey Gardens or Woodbury Common Premium Outlet, in New York. Footwear is usually another of the accessories found at a better price, as well as handbags. During the sales season, you can find products at half the price, although you will have to arm yourself with patience since, in general, most of the shopping centres or stores are usually overcrowded. Do not miss a stroll down 5th Avenue, if only to see the latest trends in the United States.
