Though Americans are struggling to find holiday dollars this season, it seems—according to reports from Women’s Wear Daily and more—that hordes of tourists from overseas are taking advantage of the dollar’s weakness . . . meaning big deals for them, and potentially driving prices up for already-strapped American shoppers. Are you worried about what this could mean for your own budget shopping?

Not really. I would guess that the tourists are going to buy the relatively pricer stuff, now that they can get it cheaper by coming over to the States. And I doubt many of them are coming to Cleveland to shop! :-D

Since I am based outside the states, it works in my favor.

beemcee- I agree. I remember when I use to travel in parts of Africa and Europe, back in the 90’s/2000 and it was amazing how much we could buy. I aways wondered how the people who lived in these places felt. Now I know....
