Shopping in the US is always nice

I like shopping in the US for many reasons:
- they have sales all year long. If you manage well you never pay the full price.
- they have outlets where you can get premium brands for cheaper.
- exchange rate between Euro and Dollar is definitely in my favour (another 15-30% down).
- they have some brands that we don't have in Europe (like Nine West or Banana Republic)

On top it was Labor Day week-end which meant special sale such as "take an extra 41% off". Hard to resist.
And indeed we spent quite sometime shopping which was not not always obvious why:

Cleverly we had brought clothes and shoes which only had a one way ticket, i.e. the plan was to throw them away and get new ones. So we worn out some t-shirts, trousers and shoes to have enough space to put new ones.

Not only did we make good deals, the best one being 2 trousers for me for 25$, but on top I confirmed my volume loss by buying clothes one size smaller. Always a good feeling.
