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?

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