- Electronics - anything is much cheaper in the US than Australia. Just be careful of Voltage and plug - and of course Customs if it's worth more than $925.

I go twice a year and buy the above, except food. I also buy homewares ie: stuff for the bathroom. The only thing i never buy is decent work shoes - American shoes are terrible compared to the UK.

I am simply astonished how expensive Australia compared to the US.
