[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s my first trip out of the US and I don’t understand what to expect when buying souvenirs in France. I’d love to buy a handbag, nice perfume, skincare items, and gifts for family. How much am I really saving if, for example, I want to buy a $1000 USD designer handbag?[/quote] Not much, if anything. People always talk about buying euro goods for cheap in euro, but when I do the math looking at prices there vs here, it never adds up. Companies take this stuff into account when they set their prices in different countries. Maybe in 1970, but with full information and open markets, not so much. [/quote] Hmm. Not my experience with brands like Hermes and Gucci. The prices were lower plus I got a VAT refund. I wasn’t even born until long after 1970 too. This is experience from as recently as late 2022.
