Time to go shopping …

Overseas. Especially in the United States. With the exchange rate as high as 90 US cents for each Australian dollar, this is the best time to visit online shopping sites from the United States. Places such as Amazon.com ships to Australia and I know, that books bought from Amazon are much cheaper than at the bookshops here. Of course, it is more cost effective to buy in bulk to reduce shipping costs.

On the other hand, why stop at shopping online. Go on a travel cum shopping spree and visit New York or California.
